feat(#3677): quick-batch hardening and acceptance (#4240)

* chore(#3677): checkpoint design artifacts (gitignored, dev-only)

* test(#3677): add failing regression test for the crash-window duplicate-dispatch gap (RED)

Independently re-traces resume-mode.md/planner-wave.md/worktree-dispatch.md/
merge-wave.md and src/quick-batch.cts's resumeBatch (lines 894-899) and
confirms the prior research pass's Open Question 1: a coordinator crash
between Step 6 (executor commits, SUMMARY.md written) and Step 7 (merge)
leaves BATCH.json at "pending" with no STATE.md row yet (only written in
Step 9), so --resume's eligibility re-derivation would dispatch a second
executor into a new worktree for the same item, orphaning the first.

This test asserts worktree-dispatch.md's Step 6 excludes an item whose
SUMMARY.md already exists from the spawn set, mirroring planner-wave.md's
existing PLAN.md-existence check one layer earlier. Fails against the
current worktree-dispatch.md, which has no such guard.

See .gsd/phase/feat-3677-quick-batch-hardening-acceptance/40-design.md §1
for the full trace and fix-location rationale.

* fix(#3677): guard worktree-dispatch.md against re-dispatching an already-executed item (GREEN)

worktree-dispatch.md's Step 6 re-derives eligibility every dispatch round
via the same quick-batch resume call resume-mode.md uses, but had no check
for "did this item already finish executing" the way planner-wave.md
already checks "did this item already get planned" (PLAN.md existence)
before re-planning. A coordinator crash between Step 6 (executor commits,
SUMMARY.md written) and Step 7 (merge) left the item eligible for a second
dispatch on --resume, orphaning the first worktree's real, already-
committed work and silently losing it once the second executor's SUMMARY.md
write clobbered the first at the same item_dir path.

Adds a SUMMARY.md-existence exclusion before spawn-plan is computed,
symmetric to planner-wave.md's PLAN.md check. The excluded item is not
lost: merge-wave.md's own mergeable-wave criterion (status=pending,
SUMMARY.md on disk, not yet merged) already picks it up independently of
this eligible/spawn list.

Workflow-prose-only fix — touches no already-merged/reviewed .cts module.
See .gsd/phase/feat-3677-quick-batch-hardening-acceptance/40-design.md §1
for the fix-location rationale (why not resumeBatch itself).

* test(#3677): add real-git coverage for worktree-ownership tampering, scope drift, and submodules

Closes the three coverage gaps identified in 40-design.md §2/§3 (#3677,
epic #3344 Phase 5's own AC bullets: "arbitrary-worktree ownership
attempts", "scope drift", "submodules"):

- Arbitrary-worktree ownership tampering: a manifest entry naming a
  non-agent branch is silently dropped at normalization before any git
  subprocess runs; a manifest entry naming a plausible agent-branch that
  was never actually created by this repo's own worktree.create (a
  genuinely foreign repo/branch) is blocked via base_mismatch. Both leave
  the foreign location and repoRoot's HEAD provably untouched.

- Advisory scope drift: a committed path outside declared files_modified
  still merges successfully (advisory, never blocking) while surfacing a
  scope_out_of_declared warning naming the drifted path; an exact
  declared-scope match produces zero warnings (boundary case).

- Real .gitmodules submodule integration: a repo containing a real local
  git submodule merges cleanly through executeWorktreeWaveCleanupPlan for
  an unrelated plan; a real gitlink pointer bump (declared) merges cleanly
  with the superproject tree reflecting the new pinned commit; an
  undeclared bump is advisory-only and surfaces a scope warning naming
  vendor/sub, same as any other undeclared modification.

No src/*.cts changes — all three gaps were coverage-only; the underlying
primitives already behaved correctly (independently verified against real
git subprocess output before writing each assertion).

* docs(#3677): document how to diagnose a preserved quick-batch worktree

Extends the one-sentence "worktree is preserved (never deleted)" mention
into a concrete diagnosis procedure: where the preserved directory is, how
to read the executor's real commits/diff against the plan's declared
files_modified, how to read the item's own SUMMARY.md independent of merge
outcome, how to manually merge-and-clean-up or discard, and how to re-run
--resume afterward. Also documents that a SUMMARY.md-written-but-still-
pending item (the crash-window case fixed in this same PR) needs no manual
intervention — --resume routes it straight to the merge step.

* chore(#3677): checkpoint final acceptance-evidence mapping (gitignored, dev-only)

* fix(#3677): make crash-window duplicate-dispatch guard behaviorally provable and durably recoverable

Orthogonal review (Spec finding): the crash-window regression test added
earlier this phase only asserted readStep('worktree-dispatch.md') + regex
matches against the markdown prose — proving the DOCUMENTATION says the
right thing, never that the runtime condition (pending status + on-disk
SUMMARY.md + absent STATE row) is actually handled correctly. #3677's own
"Alternatives considered" explicitly rejects "document recovery without
fault injection" for exactly this reason.

Extracts the filtering decision into a pure, independently testable
function, filterAlreadyExecuted(eligibleIds, executedIds) in
src/quick-batch-dispatch.cts, wired to a new `quick-batch filter-executed`
CLI verb (src/quick-batch-command-router.cts) — the same pure-decision-
then-CLI-wired pattern computeSpawnPlan/computeMergeOrder already
establish. worktree-dispatch.md now calls this verb explicitly instead of
only describing the decision in prose. A genuine fixture-based test in
tests/quick-batch.test.cjs constructs a REAL BATCH.json (createBatch),
writes a REAL SUMMARY.md on disk at the item's real item_dir, calls the
REAL resumeBatch, and proves both that resumeBatch alone still reports the
item eligible AND that filterAlreadyExecuted (fed a real filesystem check)
correctly excludes it. The prior prose-assertion tests are kept — they now
prove the workflow markdown is correctly WIRED to the verb — but are no
longer the only proof.

Self-discovered defect while building that fixture (fixed inline, not
deferred): tracing merge-wave.md against /gsd:quick's own prior art
(QUICK_WORKTREE_MANIFEST=$(mktemp ...), quick.md:415) showed
$QUICK_BATCH_WORKTREE_MANIFEST is a fresh PER-PROCESS temp file. A resumed
coordinator correctly does not re-dispatch an already-executed item (this
fix), but nothing durably recorded that item's worktree_path/branch/base
either — Step 7 in the resumed process would have had no data to build its
cleanup-wave entry from. Adds dispatched_worktree/dispatched_branch/
dispatched_base to QuickBatchItem (src/quick-batch.cts) — deliberately NOT
a reuse of the pre-existing `worktree` field, whose loadBatch validation
requires the path to exist on disk (verified empirically: reusing it made
the batch permanently unloadable the moment a legitimately-merged worktree
was removed). worktree-dispatch.md persists the triple once a worktree is
created; merge-wave.md falls back to it when the ephemeral manifest lacks
an entry, clears it after a successful merge, and fails closed rather than
guessing if no record exists anywhere.

See .gsd/phase/feat-3677-quick-batch-hardening-acceptance/40-design.md §9.1
and §9.3 for the full trace, empirical verification notes, and rejected
alternatives (reusing `worktree` directly).

* test(#3677): prove the arbitrary-worktree-ownership boundary against two real sibling worktrees

Orthogonal review (Security finding): the two existing ownership-tampering
tests didn't test ownership — one was trivially rejected by
WORKTREE_AGENT_BRANCH_RE's shape check before any git call (proves branch-
NAME filtering, not ownership), the other pointed at a wholly separate,
never-linked foreign repo, so merge-base failed immediately because the
branch didn't exist as a ref at all. Neither exercised the real scenario:
a manifest entry whose worktree_path/branch are swapped to point at a
DIFFERENT, GENUINELY-REGISTERED sibling worktree of the SAME repoRoot,
with a branch name passing the shape check and a base in allowed_bases.

Investigated executeWorktreeWaveCleanupPlan (src/worktree-safety.cts)
directly: this is NOT a reachable gap. Git enforces branch-per-worktree
uniqueness, so a swapped-in entry.branch can only match worktree_path's
ACTUAL checked-out branch if it names that sibling's own real, uniquely-
generated branch name — which manifest tampering confined to one batch's
own record has no way to know (branch names are
agent-<quick_id>[-<timestamp>]-shaped, and quick_id allocation is
collision-checked GLOBALLY across every existing quick task and batch, not
merely within one batch).

Adds a stronger test that empirically proves this: two REAL, concurrently-
alive sibling worktrees of the same repo (both via real `git worktree add`,
both WORKTREE_AGENT_BRANCH_RE-passing, both sharing one merge-base), with
worktree_path/branch swapped between them in both directions. Both attempts
are blocked via branch_mismatch; both real worktrees, their branches, and
one sibling's real uncommitted-to-main commit survive completely untouched.
Supplements (does not replace) the original two tests, which still prove
distinct, real boundaries.

See .gsd/phase/feat-3677-quick-batch-hardening-acceptance/40-design.md §9.2
for the full trace, including the one explicitly-documented (not fixed)
trust boundary this investigation surfaced: the primitive defends against
fabricated data, not a caller bug that misattributes a real-but-wrong
item's own triple to a different item.
