kshitijk4poor c394b005fc fix: publish watchdog settlement only after the abort commits
Closes the #95663 round-8 review blocker (false settlement before
commit veto): the pre-commit surface (`_surface_stall`) logged
"Force-aborting the turn and stopping lease renewal" and warned the
user "aborting it so the session can recover" BEFORE `_commit_abort`
could veto — so a turn that resumed during the warning window (or an
exceptional interrupt path that declines fail-closed) was reported as
force-aborted with lease stopped while it actually continued running.

- Split the surface: `_surface_stall` is now observational only ("no
  progress for Ns; attempting recovery"), and the definitive
  aborted/lease-stopped settlement moves to a new
  `_surface_committed_abort` that runs only after `_commit_abort`
  succeeds and the turn lease is deactivated.
- Rate-limit repeated pre-commit surfaces per observed generation: a
  turn whose aborts keep declining no longer re-logs an ERROR and
  re-warns the user every poll interval.
- Add the committed-path regression test
  (`test_watchdog_publishes_definitive_settlement_only_after_commit`)
  and extend the declined-path witness
  (`...resumes_during_warning`) to assert no committed-abort or
  definitive pre-commit claim appears when the abort is vetoed. Both
  fail on the pre-fix tree (mutation-checked).
- Document the `_interrupt_turn` lease-loss asymmetry (fires
  unconditionally, no generation claim — losing the lease means the
  process no longer owns the session).
- Trim review-round archaeology from comments/docstrings (keep the
  WHY, drop the round numbering), and drop the dead
  `cancel_event` compat note from the test fence.
- Document `agent.turn_liveness` in the configuration guide.

Installation

yarn

Local Development

yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

Using SSH:

USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

Not using SSH:

GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.

Diagram Linting

CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
