Recovery Loop Elimination & Escalation Fixes

This release closes five compounding loops that caused the recovery pass to silently discard verdicts, re-triage tickets indefinitely, and emit no-progress escalations forever. Recovery-pass sessions now persist a single verdict (fixed, leave-alone, or escalate) to the event log, ledger, and Linear in every case — and exhausted intents surface loudly as needs-human with a rendered brief instead of latching silently. Infinite escalation loops are capped and go terminal, triage re-dispatches are bounded per ticket, and the boot-resume approval gate finally has a CLI (boot-resume-approve.mjs --list / <ticket>) so gated recovery passes can actually be unblocked.
