fix(teardown): require captain-authorization token for --force

[e-jung]

Intent

The developer wanted to fix a prime-directive violation where firstmate could self-authorize bin/fm-teardown.sh --force without confirming the captain actually approved it. The goal was a deterministic structural guard making --force inert unless a captain-authorization token (e.g. state/.force-granted) exists, which firstmate may only create after the captain explicitly says to force-teardown that task. Requirements: the token must be consumed on use (deleted after teardown completes or refuses); every --force invocation, authorized or not, must be logged to state/.force-audit.log with timestamp, task id, caller PID, and authorization status; a documentation comment explaining the two-step model must be added; existing tests must pass and a new test for the guard must be added; the fix must stay minimal without refactoring unrelated teardown logic. Constraints: ship only through the no-mistakes gate via git push no-mistakes (never fork/origin/gh pr create), never merge the PR, and confine all changes to the worktree.

What Changed

• Adds inert-by-default X-mode: firstmate polls for and replies to public @myfirstmate mentions with an acknowledge/act/follow-up lifecycle, dismisses skipped mentions at the relay, and supports dry-run preview (bin/fm-x-*.sh, fmx-respond skill).
• Adds persistent secondmates: scoped, idle-by-default supervisor homes leased via treehouse, with scoped backlog handoff, local-HEAD sync to the primary, and teardown safety for persistent homes (fm-home-seed.sh, fm-backlog-handoff.sh, secondmate-provisioning skill).
• Overhauls supervision: durable wake-queue with a singleton watcher lock, an away-mode (/afk) daemon, a deterministic crew-state helper, provably-working wake absorption, and a captain-authorization token guard that makes teardown --force inert without explicit approval.

Risk Assessment

✅ Low: Focused, well-bounded security hardening that adds a fail-closed token guard to --force with thorough test coverage (4 new tests plus 6 updated secondmate tests), effective control of all downstream FORCE checks, no affected internal callers, and correct token lifecycle (consumed on every invocation, stale tokens cleaned on normal teardown).

Testing

Validated the --force captain-authorization guard end-to-end. All 4 new force-guard unit tests plus the modified force-override test pass, and the full secondmate-safety suite (49 tests) passes with the token granted on each --force path. A manual run of the real bin/fm-teardown.sh across 6 scenarios confirmed operator-facing behavior: --force is inert without the token (refuses unlanded work, preserves the worktree), effective with it, fail-closed on consumption (token consumed even when teardown later refuses), stale-token cleanup on normal teardown, full audit logging (timestamp/task/pids/verdict), and the in-script doc comment. The one test failure (content-landed) is pre-existing and orthogonal: I confirmed it reproduces identically on the base commit, and the new guard block is unreachable for that test because it never passes --force. Worktree left clean.

Evidence: Force-guard end-to-end demo (real bin/fm-teardown.sh, 6 scenarios)

SCENARIO 1 (no token): exit 1, 'WARNING: --force on task-x1 is not captain-authorized', 'REFUSED: ...work not yet merged', worktree PRESERVED. SCENARIO 2 (captain token): exit 0, no REFUSED, token CONSUMED. SCENARIO 3 (fail-closed): token granted then meta removed -> teardown refuses AFTER guard; audit authorized=yes; token CONSUMED. SCENARIO 4 (stale token, normal teardown): exit 0, token REMOVED. Audit log: 2026-06-29T16:54:22Z task=task-x1 caller_pid=550223 pid=550274 authorized=no / ...authorized=yes / ...authorized=yes.

========== SCENARIO 1: firstmate self-authorizes --force (NO captain token) ==========

==========          => --force must be INERT, safety check runs, work REFUSED ==========

>>> Operator runs: bin/fm-teardown.sh task-x1 --force   (no state/task-x1.force-granted present)
token exists pre-run: no
exit code: 1  (expect non-zero => refused)
--- stderr ---
    WARNING: --force on task-x1 is not captain-authorized (no /tmp/tmp.2pjVxirNeq/scenario1/state/task-x1.force-granted token).
    firstmate cannot self-authorize --force; falling back to normal safety checks.
    REFUSED: local-only worktree /tmp/tmp.2pjVxirNeq/scenario1/wt has work not yet merged into main and not on any remote.

>>> Token still absent after inert run: absent-good

>>> Worktree PRESERVED (not discarded): yes-good

========== SCENARIO 2: captain explicitly OKs discard => firstmate records token => --force takes effect ==========

>>> Step 1: captain says 'discard it'. Step 2: firstmate writes state/task-x1.force-granted
token exists pre-run: yes

>>> Step 3: operator runs: bin/fm-teardown.sh task-x1 --force
exit code: 0  (expect 0 => force-discard succeeded)
REFUSED printed: no-good

>>> Token CONSUMED after authorized use (gone, fresh captain OK needed): gone-good

========== SCENARIO 3: token consumed on EVERY --force, even a REFUSING run (fail-closed) ==========

>>> token granted for task-x1, then meta removed so teardown refuses AFTER the guard
token exists pre-run: yes
exit code: 1  (expect non-zero => errored at meta check)
guard ran first (audit line for task-x1 authorized=yes): yes

>>> Token CONSUMED even though teardown refused mid-flight: gone-good

========== SCENARIO 4: stale token (captain OK'd but firstmate ran a NORMAL teardown) is cleaned up ==========

>>> token present, operator runs NORMAL teardown (no --force) on landed work
exit code: 0  (expect 0)

>>> Stale token REMOVED by normal teardown: gone-good

========== SCENARIO 5: audit log records EVERY --force with ts/task/pids/verdict ==========
Audit log (state/.force-audit.log) collected across scenarios 1, 2, 3:
         1	2026-06-29T16:54:22Z task=task-x1 caller_pid=550223 pid=550274 authorized=no
         2	2026-06-29T16:54:22Z task=task-x1 caller_pid=550223 pid=550372 authorized=yes
         3	2026-06-29T16:54:22Z task=task-x1 caller_pid=550223 pid=550466 authorized=yes


>>> Each line carries: ISO-8601 UTC ts, task id, caller_pid, pid, authorized=yes/no

========== SCENARIO 6: documentation comment in bin/fm-teardown.sh (two-step model) ==========

>>> Header comment lines 35-42:
    #   Two-step model (prime directive #3: firstmate never self-authorizes --force):
    #     1. The captain explicitly OKs discarding THIS task's work.
    #     2. firstmate records that authorization as state/<task-id>.force-granted.
    #     3. firstmate runs `fm-teardown.sh <task-id> --force`.
    #   --force requires that token: without it, --force is INERT (the token is
    #   missing, FORCE is cleared, and the normal safety checks run). The token is
    #   consumed on every --force invocation (authorized or not, success or refuse),
    #   and every --force invocation is logged to state/.force-audit.log.

• ℹ️ tests/fm-teardown.test.sh:445 - test_content_in_default_fallback_allows (case h) fails with exit 1, but this is PRE-EXISTING and UNRELATED to the force-guard change. Verified by checking out base commit 81c94db in a throwaway worktree and running the same suite: the identical 'content-landed' failure reproduces there. The change cannot affect it because that test runs fm-teardown.sh WITHOUT --force, so the new guard block (gated on if [ "$FORCE" = "--force" ]) is never entered; the only other diff is one extra file in the final rm -f cleanup list, which is a no-op for this test. Not actionable for this PR.
• bash tests/fm-teardown.test.sh (force-guard tests: test_force_without_token_is_inert, test_force_consumes_token, test_force_audit_log, test_normal_teardown_cleans_stale_force_token, and modified test_local_only_force_overrides_unpushed all pass)
• bash tests/fm-secondmate-safety.test.sh (full suite, 49 ok / 0 fail; the 6 --force invocations now grant the token via grant_domain_force)
• Manual end-to-end against the real bin/fm-teardown.sh: SCENARIO 1 inert-without-token (exit 1, WARNING + REFUSED, worktree preserved)
• Manual: SCENARIO 2 authorized --force takes effect (exit 0, no REFUSED, token consumed)
• Manual: SCENARIO 3 fail-closed token consumption (token granted then meta removed so teardown refuses AFTER the guard; audit shows authorized=yes; token still consumed)
• Manual: SCENARIO 4 stale token removed by normal teardown (exit 0, token gone)
• Manual: SCENARIO 5 audit log inspection (every --force line carries ts, task=, caller_pid=, pid=, authorized=)
• Manual: SCENARIO 6 doc comment lines 35-42 present
• Verification that content-landed failure is pre-existing: git worktree of base 81c94db, bash tests/fm-teardown.test.sh reproduces the same failure
• git status --porcelain (worktree clean; no transient artifacts committed)
