Fix runner loop-control, consent, and redaction defects

[ksimback]

Remediation batch 1 of 3 from the 2026-07-04 audit (see ROADMAP.md in a follow-up PR). All findings verified against main before fixing; each fix has a regression test.

Correctness

• fixed_passes gates could never complete cleanly with max_revisions >= 2: the synthetic fixed_passes reviewer pass marker had a constant no-progress signature, so the stall detector (threshold 2) failed the run on the second pass. Synthetic markers no longer feed the detector.
• Judges emitting nested JSON could never pass: the fence regex \{.*?\} truncated at the first }, failing json.loads and silently degrading to revise. Parsing now takes the whole fenced block, with a raw_decode fallback tolerating trailing prose.
• A no-progress stop now stops the run — previously it abandoned the current delivery and let the outer loop generate a fresh one, defeating action: stop.
• Resume actually resumes: iteration restored from state.json, existing artifacts aren't regenerated, the wall-clock budget accrues across resumed runs instead of renewing, and stale stall counts reset at run start.
• Failures are recorded: a RunnerError marks state.json failed instead of leaving it stuck at running; malformed specs get a friendly missing required field error instead of a KeyError traceback.
• loop_control.human_checkpoints (after_plan) is now honored — it was silently ignored.

Security

• Consent fails closed. A cross-vendor (non-local) member with no privacy.egress entry used to receive artifacts with no consent prompt at all. Now any non-local member requires explicit first-send consent; an egress entry can pre-grant with consent: granted.
• Context files honor redaction config. gather_context used a hardcoded default glob list, so configured privacy redactions never applied to context inlining.
• Redaction globs match at any depth — bare .env now covers config/.env. Defaults always apply; configured globs extend rather than replace them.
• Workspace/context paths must stay inside the loop directory (a hand-edited resolved spec could previously write state anywhere).

Robustness

• Subprocess I/O pinned to UTF-8 (errors=replace) — the locale codepage (cp1252) corrupted or crashed Windows runs on any non-ASCII model output.
• Interactive prompts raise a clean error when stdin is closed (EOFError traceback before).
• The example wrapper now passes its own loop.resolved.json — runpy made the default spec path resolve to templates/ (nonexistent), so running the example directly always errored.

Tests

12/12 locally on Windows / Python 3.13; 5 new regression tests: fixed_passes clean completion, nested judge JSON, consent fail-closed, nested-.env redaction (context + judge prompt), workspace escape rejection.
