fix(gbrain-local-status): classifier falsely reports broken-db inside repos with their own DATABASE_URL

The freshClassify probe ran `gbrain sources list --json` with the inherited
process env. When the probe ran from inside a repo with its own .env (an app
DATABASE_URL on a different port), Bun autoloaded the project's .env, gbrain
connected to the wrong database, and the classifier reported broken-db on
otherwise-healthy brains.

Fix: route the probe env through `buildGbrainEnv` from lib/gbrain-exec, the
same helper the sync orchestrator uses. DATABASE_URL is seeded from
~/.gbrain/config.json so the result is cwd-independent. The 60s cache can no
longer propagate a poisoned negative to clean directories.
