fix: TOCTOU file locking race conditions in event log and custom workflow graph

Implements file-level advisory locking via proper-lockfile to ensure
atomic read-modify-write sequences in:
- compactMilestoneEvents (event-log.jsonl)
- custom-workflow-engine reconcile (GRAPH.yaml)

Fixes silent data loss when concurrent auto-mode or dashboard
sessions overlap in these operations.
