M3.3: the trust dial (the agent merges approved PRs)

A project's trust.merge is operator (the default) or approved (L3, D5,
#65). Set to approved, the harness, never the model, merges a PR in the
PR watch once an approving review from a gitea.operators account is on
its current commit, its checks pass (none at all counts; pending
waits) and it's mergeable; the item then goes on as after any merge.
Each reason to hold off (failed checks, conflicts, a refused merge) is
said once per commit.

Gitea enforces it: protection requires approvals from an operators-only
whitelist and dismisses stale ones. At start, for each approved
project, the agent checks by behaviour that its own unapproved merge is
refused, with a throwaway branch and PR made through the API (never the
workspace); if it isn't refused, the operator merges until a restart.

- gitea: approvals, combined check status, a PR's head commit and
  mergeability, API-made branches and their deletion.
- Test and bring-up repositories get the protection.
- Tests: the decision (unit), the hard wall on a real Gitea
  (test_trust_live), an e2e test where the operator only approves, and
  a walk property, merges_only_approved, checked against a mutant that
  ignores which commit was approved.

Closes #65

- **The PR may have moved on meanwhile.** After pushing a fix, the agent checks the
PR: if it merged before the fix landed, the fix goes out as a new PR; if it was
closed, the agent says so and asks.
- **Merging follows the trust dial** (L3). Today the operator merges. If the dial
lets the agent merge its own PRs once checks pass, branch protection must require
an approval the agent's account can't give, so Gitea enforces the rule.
- **Merging follows the trust dial** (L3), set per project (`trust.merge`). By
default the operator merges. Set to `approved`, the agent merges a PR once an
operator has approved its current commit and its checks pass; branch
protection requires that approval from an operators-only whitelist and
dismisses stale approvals, so Gitea enforces the rule, and the agent checks at
start that its own unapproved merge is refused.
