Bind approvals and feedback to the revision they were about
Fixes counterexamples 1-4 from specs/orchestrator.qnt: a repeated
'approve', 'approve rev-1' meant for the architecture, approving on both
channels, and 'approve' plus an afterthought all landed on the next
plan, one the operator had not seen.

- Revisions are numbered across the work item (A4 already required
  monotonic tags; the code numbered per gate), so rev-N names one plan.
- Each reply is stamped on arrival with the revision that was up: in
  Matrix the one whose approval request had been sent (a plain value
  the transport thread reads, restored on boot), in Gitea the latest
  plan comment older than the reply (board.posts).
- Gate.evaluate applies a reply that names no revision only if its stamp
  is the current revision. Otherwise an approval is not applied and
  feedback rejects nothing (it is still in the transcript), and the
  agent says which revision is up. 'approve rev-N' binds by its number.
- Spec A4 states both rules. The model applies them; scenarios 1-4 now
  expect the properties to hold, and both held over 200,000 random
  traces and Apalache's exhaustive check to depth 8.

"""Approval gating primitives (spec A4).
Approvals bind to a plan revision, never to "the current gate": every revision
carries a monotonic ``rev-N`` tag, an approval naming a stale revision is
answered with a notice and never applied to a newer one, and the first valid
approval wins. Approval is always the typed word ``approve`` (optionally
``approve rev-N``); any other reply is a rejection with feedback. The approver
is authenticated against a per-channel operator allowlist.
Revisions are numbered across a whole work item, not per gate, so ``rev-N``
names one plan. A reply that does not name a revision binds to the one that
was up when it arrived (its ``about``): if that is not the current revision,
it is ambiguous and not applied, neither as an approval nor as feedback. That
is how a second "approve", or an afterthought, sent while one plan was up can
never land on the next.
The channel seam: any approval source (Matrix transport, Gitea comment poller,
Vikunja comments) feeds operator replies to ``Gate.evaluate`` with its channel
name.
