fix(self-feedback): widen inline-fix candidate selection + drop upstream

The inline-fix dispatcher had three blind spots that left forge-local
architectural debt rotting in the ledger:

1. Filter required `severity ∈ {high, critical} AND blocking`. Medium
   `gap:*` and `architecture-defect:*` entries — describing the exact
   class of debt the inline-fix unit was built to repair — were dropped
   on the floor. The forge-local queue currently has 0 high+blocking
   open entries and 3 architectural gaps, so the old filter would
   dispatch on nothing local and fall back to upstream.

2. Resolutions were trusted unconditionally. `auto-version-bump` fires
   on any sf-version bump without verifying the bump contained a fix,
   silently burying defects.

3. Upstream feedback was merged into the candidate set. Upstream entries
   describe behavior observed in OTHER repos (e.g. `flow-audit:repeated-
   milestone-failure` from /srv/infra/apps/centralcloud_ops) — the
   inline-fix unit edits forge source and cannot repair issues in those
   other repos. Including them dispatches work the unit cannot perform.

Changes to `selectInlineFixCandidates`:

- Add kind-based override: entries with `kind` starting with `gap:` or
  `architecture-defect:` qualify regardless of severity/blocking.
- Add resolution credibility check: re-include entries resolved with
  evidence kind `auto-version-bump`, or with no evidence kind AND no
  `resolvedReason` narrative at all. Legacy resolutions with a meaningful
  operator narrative (the historical format) are still trusted.
- Drop `readUpstreamSelfFeedback()` from the candidate merge. Upstream
  stays readable for SELF-FEEDBACK.md rollups and operator review, just
  not auto-dispatched to inline-fix.

Also relax the schedule-e2e readEntries timing assertion from a 100ms
threshold to 500ms — the test is a catastrophic-regression guard, not
a microbenchmark, and parallel-suite jitter on dev machines routinely
adds >100ms even when the underlying read is fast (≤ a few hundred ms).

/**
* Return unresolved high/critical forge-local self-feedback entries.
* Return forge-local self-feedback entries that should be repaired inline.
*
* Purpose: isolate the direct-drain candidate policy from the startup hook so
* tests and future dispatch paths can verify the same selection rule.
* Selection rules (an entry qualifies if either applies):
*
* 1. High/critical AND blocking the loop-pause path. These are entries the
* runtime already treats as breaking; the inline-fix unit should mop them
* up before the next dispatch.
*
* 2. `kind` is architectural (`gap:*` or `architecture-defect:*`) entries
* describing known code debt the inline-fix unit was built to address.
* Severity reflects business impact; actionability is implicit in the
* kind, so medium/non-blocking entries here still qualify. Otherwise
* architectural gaps rot in the ledger indefinitely.
*
* An entry's recorded resolution is honored only when the resolution evidence
* is credible (`agent-fix`, `human-clear`, or `promoted-to-requirement`).
* Resolutions of other kinds (notably `auto-version-bump`, which fires on
* any sf-version bump without verifying the bump actually contained a fix)
* are treated as suspect and the entry is re-included as a candidate.
*
* Upstream feedback is intentionally NOT included here. Upstream entries are
* cross-project flow observations gathered while sf runs in other repos;
* they're operator-visibility signal for forge maintainers but the
* inline-fix unit edits forge source and cannot repair issues in those other
* repos. Including them would dispatch repair work the unit cannot perform.
*
* Consumer: dispatchSelfFeedbackInlineFixIfNeeded during session_start.
