Daemon Reliability & Pipeline Hardening

Daemon logs are now rotated on restart instead of truncated — the previous run’s output is preserved as daemon.log.1 through .5 (configurable via CATALYST_LOG_RETAIN) so you have evidence when diagnosing a wedge. Two daemon-killing bugs are also fixed: an async EAGAIN spawn failure that could take down execution-core, and a zsh local path variable that silently emptied $PATH and caused phantom artifact_not_gate_visible phase failures. Automated merges from linked worktrees no longer fail with fatal: 'main' is already used by worktree — the merge now splits into a REST merge and a checkout-free remote ref delete.
