test_loop_properties.py walks the new loop with a seeded mix of operator
and Gitea actions (go-aheads, stale go-aheads, answers, comments, merges,
the comment-then-merge race, closes, abandon, a crash and restart) and an
adaptive scripted model, checking every loop.qnt property after every
step. It found two bugs, both fixed with regression tests: abandoning an
item left its open PR open (the model's fix 1, now in code), and after a
review fix became a follow-up PR, the next fix went to the merged branch.

A work item starts from a fresh workspace: fetch, set aside (never
discard) leftover changes, branches and unpushed commits, a clean default
branch, and a branch of its own (D3, #62). start_milestone cuts the
milestone's branch; finish_milestone commits only the work, pushes and
opens a PR that closes the issue, under an intent, adopting an open PR and
treating a closed one as the operator's answer (D4). Between runs the
loop watches each item's PR: operator comments and inline review notes
(#69) reach the item, a merge or close hands back to the driver. A review
fix is checked after it's pushed and goes out as a new PR if the PR merged
first (D5). At boot an interrupted publish is settled against Gitea (L8).
