Tom Boucher be1b76dddd fix(#4700): queue the headless mempalace mine on the palace lock (#4821)
* test(#4699): add failing-first coverage for skipping complete phases in next_phase

* fix(#4699): skip already-complete phases in the next_phase cascade

Both next-phase scans selected the numerically lowest phase above N
without consulting completion state, so completing a reopened phase
persisted an already-[x] phase as STATE.md current_phase while
roadmap.analyze correctly named the outstanding one (issue repro:
completing 2 with phases 1 and 3 already [x] returned next_phase 03).

The cascade collects the complete phase numbers from the roadmap
checkboxes (milestone-scoped, comparePhaseNum-deduped) and skips them in
both the disk scan and the roadmap scan; a [x] checkbox row and its
heading sibling both name a phase that is never next. Heading-only and
checkbox-less roadmaps behave exactly as before.

* test(#4699): align the negative-control expectation with the disk spelling

* test(#4699): pin the STATE.md persistence and the all-later-complete tail corner

Review findings: the regression never asserted STATE.md current_phase
(the issue's actual harm), and the all-later-phases-[x] corner
(is_last_phase true, next_phase null) was unpinned. A changeset fragment
is included.

* docs(#4699): backfill changeset PR number

* test(#4700): add failing-first coverage for the queued headless mine

* fix(#4700): queue the headless mempalace mine and surface skipped captures

The capture's mine ran in the foreground with no lock handling: MemPalace
wraps every mine in a per-palace lock, so any concurrent writer (two
phases finishing a stage at once, a git-hook refresh mining the same
palace) made it exit 1 (MineAlreadyRunning) and the onError: skip step
silently dropped the capture — unlost for CONTEXT/PLAN/SUMMARY files that
can be re-filed, unrecoverable for execute:wave:post problem-fix pairs.

The mine now queues via --daemon --background (MemPalace #2029: the daemon
holds a job refused the lock and runs it when the holder exits), and the
report step gains the queued and skipped outcomes per #4700's requirement
that a skipped capture never stay silent. Option 2 (write_routing.cli) is
unreleased at MemPalace 3.9.0; option 3 (retry) re-enters the same lock
race — both declined in the PR body.

* fix(#4700): queue the wave:post problems fragment's headless mine too

The issue names the execute:wave:post problem-fix pair as the
unrecoverable loss (no source file to re-file later); the
capture-problems fragment's headless mine ran foreground like the capture
capability's did. Same fix: --daemon --background, with the lock-deferral
rationale inline.

* docs(#4700): backfill changeset PR number

* fix(#4682): register the stale-reverification part in the capability registry

The new steps/ part is a shipped workflow file; gen-capability-registry
--check requires it in the committed registry.

Capture problems → fixes (MemPalace)

Gate first. Read .planning/config.json. If mempalace.enabled is not true, or mempalace.capture_artifacts is false, skip this entire section and let the wave complete unchanged. (This contribution is only injected when the capability is enabled; the capture_artifacts check lets you turn capture off without disabling the rest of the capability.)

Otherwise — after verifying this wave, persist any confirmed problem→fix pairs into the palace so they are recalled in future phases. This is best-effort; if MemPalace is unreachable, skip silently — capture never fails a wave.

For each confirmed bug/issue resolved in this wave:

  1. Resolve the wing (mempalace.wing, else project_code, else project dir) and target room: problems.
  2. Dedupe first. Call mempalace_check_duplicate (interactive) before filing so re-runs don't create duplicate drawers.
  3. File the drawer verbatim. Store the problem statement and its fix as a drawer in room: problems — interactive: mempalace_add_drawer; headless: stage the artifact under the problems/ folder and run mempalace mine --daemon --background (no --room flag; the background queue defers the write when another writer holds the palace lock, #4700 — see CLI reference; room assignment is via detect_room() folder-path match per the mining guide; use the same staging pattern documented in gsd-mempalace-capture Step 3). Include provenance (source_file, phase id).
  4. Mirror the KG fact when mempalace.mirror_kg is on: add (<bug>, fixed_by, <fix>) with valid_from = the phase date via mempalace_kg_add.
  5. Mode awareness (mempalace.memory_mode). Under augment the fact is an additive mirror alongside .planning/graphs/. Under kg_backend/replace the palace is the authoritative store for the fact; GSD still writes .planning/graphs/ through its normal graphify, so an unreachable palace never loses it.

Captures are idempotent: deterministic drawer IDs + check_duplicate mean re-running the wave re-files the same content without duplication. On any error, skip and let the wave complete normally.
