A phone keyboard's "Approve" did not match the approval pattern, so it
counted as rejection feedback and threw the plan away; "Stop" did not
reach the cancel flag; other capitalised commands got a hint instead of
acting.
gates.command_form() is how a message reads as a command: case,
surrounding whitespace, inner runs of whitespace and a trailing '.' or
'!' do not matter. The approval gate and every command match in the
orchestrator (stop, status, abandon, use, start milestone, next
milestone, project complete, the restart choices) use it. Only matching
changes: the project name in 'use <name>' keeps its case, and feedback
and answers are recorded and passed on as written. A stale revision is
still refused, and approval still needs the whole message to be the
command.
Closes#64.

Step-2 PR A: the approval loop end to end with a stub agent, no LLM
and no network.
- transport.py: Transport interface per A1 (send_message,
send_approval_request, ask_question, on_message) with an
InMemoryTransport; no platform SDK outside an implementation
- gates.py: PlanRevision with monotonic rev-N tags; Gate.evaluate
enforces revision binding (stale tags refused with a notice),
operator allowlisting, and approve-word-only semantics; any other
reply is rejection feedback. Channel seam ready for Gitea/Vikunja
approval sources
- control.py: B1 state machine subset with structural gating — the
agent's only actions are SubmitPlan (ends its turn) and AskHuman;
no proceed tool exists. Gate state, revision counters, task_id,
and pending questions checkpoint through StateStore, and boot
resumes an open gate or gates to AWAIT_INPUT, never blind-resumes
- gate.open/approve/reject A9 events complete the log taxonomy
- CLAUDE.md: record the plan-first working convention
- Tests: 15 unit (gates + orchestrator flows), 2 integration
(mid-gate restart with revisions intact; unresolved intents gate
the whole boot)
