fix(#2839): transactional cleanup tail for /gsd-code-review-fix (#2846)

* fix(#2839): make /gsd-code-review-fix cleanup transactional

Cleanup tail in agents/gsd-code-fixer.md previously did 'git worktree
remove' without any recovery marker. If the process was killed between
fix commits and worktree removal, the orphan worktree + branch survived
with no resume path — the next run had no way to discover or finish
the cleanup.

Introduce a recovery sentinel at ${phase_dir}/.review-fix-recovery-pending.json
with strict ordering:
- Sentinel written AFTER 'git worktree add' succeeds (never points at a
  worktree that does not exist).
- Sentinel removed ONLY AFTER 'git worktree remove' returns successfully
  (interruption between commits and removal leaves a sentinel behind).
- New runs detect a pre-existing sentinel, force-remove the recorded
  orphan worktree, then drop the stale sentinel before continuing —
  making the agent self-healing after a crash.

Closes #2839

* fix(#2839): harden sentinel JSON parse and scope ordering assertion

Address CodeRabbit review feedback on PR #2846:

- agents/gsd-code-fixer.md: Guard the recovery-sentinel JSON parse with
  try/catch so a corrupted/truncated sentinel (a realistic crash artifact)
  emits a warning and yields an empty prior_wt instead of aborting setup.
  This preserves the self-healing recovery path even when the sentinel
  itself is the casualty of the original crash.

- tests/bug-2839-review-fix-transactional-cleanup.test.cjs: Scope the
  cleanup-ordering assertion to the cleanup-tail section of the
  setup_worktree step rather than first global occurrences. Previously
  the assertion could pass on pre-recovery references even if cleanup-tail
  ordering regressed. The regex also now accepts the shell-variable form
  (\`rm -f \"\$sentinel\"\`) used in the cleanup tail.

This agent runs as a background process that makes commits. Operating on the main working tree would race the foreground session (shared index, HEAD, and on-disk files). Instead, every instance runs in its own isolated worktree.
The cleanup tail (commit fixes -> remove worktree -> drop recovery sentinel) MUST be **transactional**: either all of (worktree, branch advance, sentinel) end in a clean state, or — if the process is interrupted (system restart, OOM kill) between the last commit and `git worktree remove` — a discoverable recovery sentinel is left behind so a future run, `/gsd-resume-work`, or `/gsd-progress` can complete the cleanup. The bug fixed by #2839 was that the cleanup tail was non-transactional and silently left orphan worktrees + unmerged branches with no resume marker.
```bash
# Derive worktree path from padded_phase (parsed from config in next step,
# but the shell snippet below is illustrative — adapt once config is parsed).

Concrete steps:
1. Parse `padded_phase` from the `<config>` block (needed for the path).
1. Parse `padded_phase` and `phase_dir` from the `<config>` block (needed for the path and for the sentinel location).
2. Resolve the current branch: `branch=$(git branch --show-current)`. If empty (detached HEAD), print an error and exit — detached-HEAD state is not supported; commits made in a detached-HEAD worktree would not advance the branch.
3. Create a unique worktree path: `wt=$(mktemp -d "/tmp/sv-${padded_phase}-reviewfix-XXXXXX")`. The `mktemp` suffix ensures concurrent runs for the same phase do not collide.
4. Run `git worktree add "$wt" "$branch"` — this attaches the worktree to the current branch so commits advance it.
5. All subsequent file reads, edits, and commits happen inside `$wt`.
3. **Recovery check (#2839):** If `${phase_dir}/.review-fix-recovery-pending.json` already exists, a prior run was interrupted. Parse the JSON, attempt to remove the orphan worktree it points at (best-effort, with `--force`), then delete the stale sentinel before continuing. This makes a re-run of `/gsd-code-review-fix` self-healing.
4. Create a unique worktree path: `wt=$(mktemp -d "/tmp/sv-${padded_phase}-reviewfix-XXXXXX")`. The `mktemp` suffix ensures concurrent runs for the same phase do not collide.
5. Run `git worktree add "$wt" "$branch"` — this attaches the worktree to the current branch so commits advance it.
6. **Write the recovery sentinel** at `${phase_dir}/.review-fix-recovery-pending.json` containing `{worktree_path, branch, padded_phase, started_at}`. Doing this AFTER `git worktree add` ensures the sentinel only ever points at a real worktree.
7. All subsequent file reads, edits, and commits happen inside `$wt`.

**ALWAYS run inside the isolated worktree** — set up via `branch=$(git branch --show-current)` + `wt=$(mktemp -d "/tmp/sv-${padded_phase}-reviewfix-XXXXXX")` + `git worktree add "$wt" "$branch"` at the very start (see `setup_worktree` step). Using `mktemp` ensures concurrent runs do not collide. Attaching to `$branch` (not `HEAD`) ensures commits advance the branch. Every file read, edit, and commit must happen inside `$wt`. Run `git worktree remove "$wt" --force` unconditionally when done (treat it as a finally block). If `git worktree add` fails, exit with an error rather than force-removing a path another run may hold. This prevents racing the foreground session on the shared main working tree (#2686).
**ALWAYS run the transactional cleanup tail in order** (#2839): `git worktree remove "$wt" --force` MUST happen BEFORE `rm -f "$sentinel"` (the recovery sentinel at `${phase_dir}/.review-fix-recovery-pending.json`).

This ordering is what makes the cleanup tail transactional — an interruption between commits and `git worktree remove` leaves the sentinel behind so a future run, `/gsd-resume-work`, or `/gsd-progress` can detect and complete the recovery. Reversing the order recreates the orphan-worktree bug.
