cndgrr 13e8f54d60 fix(issueflow): a failed read never reaches a decision function
`gh api` prints a 5xx response body to stdout AND exits non-zero, and
GitHub's 5xx body is a JSON object. Inside the per-issue subshell that
payload passed `has("pull_request") | not`, emptied `.labels[]`, and
`queue_decision` — correct on the input it was handed — wrote
`needs-triage` onto a healthy epic. The run then logged `reconciled.`
and exited 0 (crew#329, #247).

errexit could not have caught it: a command whose status is tested by
`||` runs with errexit suppressed, and the suppression extends through
the whole subshell body, so the `|| log` handler is what disables the
errexit that would have aborted at the failed read. Removing the handler
revives errexit and loses #91's resilience, and an inline `set -e` does
not re-arm it. Explicit per-read checks are the mechanism.

Every read inside that subshell is now checked — the issue read on its
status AND on its payload shape (an HTTP 200 whose body is `null` exits
0 and empties the label set just the same), both reads in
`last_issue_activity`, and the comments read in
`issue_comment_has_marker`. On failure the issue is left exactly as it
is, the reason rides its own `#$n:` line, and the subshell exits with a
distinguished status the sweep counts, so a deliberate skip is not
reported as a crash and a genuine crash is still named byte-identically.

`read_failure_reason` moves to lib/read.sh beside a new `guarded_read`,
sourced by both reconcilers: labels-reconcile's copy was the only one,
and the issue surface needs the identical rule.

changelog.d/ — the next release's section, one fragment per issue

Machine-assembled by bin/changelog-assemble (#112): every PR that changes behavior writes one file here — <issue>.md, the exact prose that will be published, nothing else — and the release PR folds them all into the next ## X.Y.Z — DATE section of CHANGELOG.md, consuming them. Distinct filenames never conflict, which is this directory's whole reason to exist. This README is the marker that keeps the directory tracked when it holds no fragments (#112 D1) — changelog-armed refuses a tree without it; do not delete it. The shape sentinel beside it declares the set's shape — grouped here, so every fragment carries ### headings (#182).
