feat(drill): a heartbeat during every mint — silence must never mean 'maybe wedged'

Browse source 
All four mints (blank, claude, clone, peer) now run through mint_box:
box new's narration lands in the log as before, the drill prints where
to tail it, and a dot every 5s on the drill's own terminal proves the
run is alive. A silent multi-minute mint is indistinguishable from a
wedge, and that ambiguity has cost whole evenings — the operator said
so, verbatim.
