fix: codex adversarial fixes — JSON trust, fail-open visibility, user-state safety

Codex outside-model adversarial pass (inline-diff workaround for the
sandbox), P1/P2 findings triaged cross-model:
- Parent validates the dispatch JSON's field types and treats
  documentation_section as untrusted markdown (Step 19's redaction scan
  covers the final body; instruction-shaped text inside it is never
  followed). The error branch now explicitly skips items 2-6.
- Remote-ahead divergence is named, not silent: the parent lists foreign
  commits before creating a PR over a moved branch.
- Recovery cleanup never discards content: stray staged doc edits are
  unstaged but never checked out or cleaned away.
- Greptile UNAVAILABLE gets a concrete PR-body line, not a vague
  'wherever results are reported'.
Pre-existing-class P1s (self-asserted spawned trust chain, unenforceable
foreground timeout) are cross-model confirmed and tracked: PreToolUse
hook TODO at P1, harness-residue hazard documented.

 **Deadline — never park the run on this step.** The dispatch above is foreground; its tool result should be the subagent's final text. If the result comes back as launch metadata (a task/agent id — it was backgrounded despite the flag), or the call errors without producing output: check the task's status a bounded number of times (2-3 checks across ~10 minutes from dispatch, waiting ~3 minutes between checks via sleep or a blocking task-output read — the deadline is ~10 minutes of wall clock, not three rapid polls) — never dispatch a second doc-sync subagent (two racing doc-sync runs produce conflicting commits). If the final output still isn't available at the deadline, stop waiting and take the recovery branch below. Ten minutes of docs sync never holds the PR hostage.

Pushing any commit pushes its ancestors, so if ANY new commit touches those files, push NONE of them — leave them all local and name them in the console message.
