cndgrr 6217798e14 fix(issueflow): a per-issue pass commits its whole effect, or none of it
The per-read guards closed the reported class — a failed read never reaches
a decision function — and left one layer standing. A pass could mutate and
only THEN reach a guarded read, fail it, and report the issue as skipped:
`stale` removed, or `needs-triage` minted, under a log line saying the
sweep had touched nothing. That is the same false report #247 exists to
close, told from the other end, and the panel reproduced it on four
separate compositions.

Fixed as the ordering invariant rather than per site. Inside
reconcile_issue_pass's subshell, run() and log() stage their effects, and
commit_staged_effects replays them in order once the pass has completed.
skip_issue emits its own line directly and exits, so the buffer dies with
the subshell. A skip therefore implies zero `gh issue edit`, zero
`gh issue comment`, and no log line about a mutation that never landed —
for compositions nobody has written yet, because reconcile_issue has no way
to mutate directly. Reads stay where they are: they may happen anywhere,
since nothing lands until the end.

Stated per site it would hold until the next composition. Two consequences
worth naming: reconcile_ruling is covered without touching lib/ruling.sh,
because it posts through the sourcing script's run()/log() — the PR surface
keeps its own and is unaffected; and a genuine crash mid-pass now also
lands nothing, where before it left the earlier mutations applied. D4's
handler string, D6's tail and D7's exit 0 are all unchanged, and the
healthy path is byte-identical: every staged write commits under the same
`>/dev/null` its call site already applied.

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).
