feat(sf): autonomous agent sweep — docstrings, robustness, preferences, workflow reconcile

- headless-events: add EXIT_RELOAD handling and dedup boundary types
- atomic-write: improve tmp-file cleanup and error reporting
- auto-model-selection: add flat-rate provider filtering and cost-aware routing stubs
- auto-worktree: strengthen worktree validation paths
- auto/phases.ts: emit artifact-verification-retry journal event on bounded retry
- auto/run-unit.ts: anchor cwd before session init, add AbortController for timeout
- benchmark-selector, captures, definition-loader: docstring/robustness sweep
- bootstrap/{notify-interceptor,provider-error-resume,write-gate}: error path hardening
- branch-patterns, git-constants, git-self-heal: comment/constant clarifications
- commands-{logs,maintenance}: expose additional log and maintenance commands
- custom-verification, post-execution-checks, pre-execution-checks: defensive fixes
- doctor: expand check coverage and structured output
- gate-registry: improve gate deduplication and ordering
- json-persistence: add atomic-write path and versioned schema helpers
- notifications: add dedup window and notification grouping
- preferences-types: add subscription_monthly_cost_usd + subscription_monthly_tokens
- production-mutation-approval, skill-health, skill-manifest: hardening sweep
- structured-data-formatter: improve table rendering edge cases
- workflow-events, workflow-manifest, workflow-reconcile: reconcile robustness
- worktree-{manager,resolver}: path normalization fixes
