claude-bot-andresmgsl 1c9a82aaf0 fix: blocked excludes state:needs-human in decide_state (#180)
During the ceremony#111 freeze, rig#126/#128 carried blocked beside
state:needs-human — the round had finished, but the hold said the merge
must not happen, and rig#126 was merged seven minutes after the
reconciler wrote the green label. decide_state() only joined the two
axes through blockers(), which emits branch facts; the hand-set blocked
label was never consulted.

blocked becomes the second exclusion on state:needs-human, exactly
parallel to needs-ruling: round says needs-human + has_label blocked ->
state:addressing. Deliberately not a blockers() emission — BLOCKERS is
machine-owned and the converge loop would strip the live hold on the
next tick, the same trap #51 names for needs-ruling.

  • decide_state() refuses state:needs-human while the hand-set blocked label stands — the PR falls to state:addressing, exactly parallel to the needs-ruling exclusion; never emitted by blockers() (#180).
