Tom Boucher ddf852873c fix(#3357): one phase-pinned resolver for verification-report discovery (#3513)
A phase directory can hold more than one `*-VERIFICATION.md` — an ad-hoc `03-CORRECTION-VERIFICATION.md` worksheet beside the real `03-VERIFICATION.md`. Discovery took the alphabetically-first match, so the worksheet won and the phase could report `missing` while a passing report sat next to it.

The issue named two copies. There were seven, in four grammars: two `.sort()[0]` sites in the verification module, three `.find()` over UNSORTED readdir order (phase status, and `verification_path` twice — filesystem-dependent, so two machines on one commit could disagree), and two in shell. All seven now route through one exported `resolveVerificationFile`; the shell copies via a new `verification resolve-file` verb rather than hand-rolling the rule an eighth time.

Fixing five of seven would have been worse than fixing none: the verify-work workflow is a WRITER that stamps `status: passed` onto the file it picks, so canonical-aware readers plus an alphabetical writer means the human_needed→passed canonicalization silently no-ops forever while the worksheet gets stamped. That divergence did not exist on next.

The first resolver was itself a regression — it preferred ANY canonically-shaped name over the phase's own report, so a stray cross-phase or sentinel-numbered file outranked it. The global-canonical preference was removed rather than narrowed; the rule is pinned to the phase token via `PHASE_NUMBER_TOKEN_SOURCE`, its existing owner.

Fixed in passing: the transition workflow's awk guarded on `NR==1` instead of `FNR==1`, so across a multi-file glob it armed only on the first file — a leading worksheet with no frontmatter blocked transition even when the canonical report passed. Also removed a U+00AD soft hyphen introduced earlier on this branch.

Five broader-grammar AGGREGATE scans are deliberately out of scope — a different defect class (phase-unscoped scanning), tracked as #3511.

Closes #3357
