Patrick Buckley 57a9041941 fix(coordinator): the interjection handoff cannot lose the message, and the fact block is bounded 
Review fold-in before push, twelve findings, two of them majors.

The handoff popped the interjection queue destructively and handed
the text to a send with a non-delivering refusal (the budget latch)
and a preamble that can raise before the user turn is appended — a
failure destroyed the user's words with a log line, after the charged
wake nudges were already cleared. Now: the budget latch is checked
before the pop (the message stays queued for a send with a human in
front of it, and the wake drain still runs so the worker's exit
converges); the pop returns the raw items and any non-cancel escape
restores them verbatim — ids and priorities intact — before the
failure surfaces; a cancel deliberately does not restore, because the
Stop supersedes the queued words. Content-free items (a bare priority
marker) are skipped at the shared renderer, so a lone '!!!' no longer
buys a content-free turn at the cost of both nudges.

The per-child fact block takes the roster formatter's bounds: fact
lines cap at the display cap with a counts-only overflow line, and
the wait slot keeps its larger handle cap — the body is a persistent
system turn replayed on every request, and the block previously grew
without bound as finished-but-unclosed children accumulated. The two
fact sentences and the overflow line are named template constants,
and every test assertion anchors on them; the children projection
takes the same drop-never-mangle alteration check as the open-row
fields.

Eval world seeding: node metadata is JSON-encoded exactly as
production writers store it (a raw string never matched a filtered
list_nodes lookup), the stub client pins its heartbeat window open so
a static world cannot go hollow mid-run, and the world-shape
refusals' field branches gain their own tests. Comment accuracy and
paragraph wrapping fixed at the sites the review named.

model's own output; only server-minted values are lowered

NO ``name`` key at all — asserted as key-absence, which is
strictly stronger and simpler than pinning any projection of
the name. (Old persisted rows still carry one; the FE
renders those because the model DID receive the name at the
time. Names for browsing live on the children sidebar.)

observer's own trio (``_open_tasks`` → ``_open_counts`` /
``_open_task_ids``) and calls the real formatter — the eval carries
no copy of any comprehension. Sharing the derivation removes one
drift class; this guard covers the one that remains: the OBSERVER's
plumbing (envelope read → counts + ids → ``children`` argument →
formatter → card meta) can still diverge from the eval's
re-derivation over the same envelope, and every sweep would then
score a body that is not the one shipping, with the merge decision
taken on the wrong numbers.
The comparison drives the REAL producer — an IDLE event through the
observer, the entry taken off the nudge queue — because two
re-derivations agreeing proves nothing about what production emits.
Run on TWO coordinator states, because the body is not one string:
the per-child fact lines AND the two child slots are conditioned on
which child rows exist, so "the eval renders what production
renders" is two claims, one per cell class, and a guard that only
ever saw the childless state would go green against an eval wired
to the wrong branch on every cell that has children.
``expect_children`` is declared per scenario rather than derived,
so each branch is a written-down claim about what production emits
in that state rather than the same derivation run twice. It is what
makes a PARTIAL update fail: while the observer passed a literal
``True`` both scenarios expected ``True``, and the childless one
flipped in the same commit that replaced that literal with a real
read. Either half of a pair like that landing alone trips here — an
observer re-wired to a literal fails ``no_children``, and an eval
that stopped deriving the value fails it too. Declaring the
``(ws_id, state)`` PAIR rather than a bool is what extends that
property to the fact lines and the populated slots: an observer that
read the right ROWS but projected the wrong field — or the id
without the state — would still have satisfied a bool.

# key at all — it is the ``title``), so this also pins the
# ``field_str`` coercion reaching the block.
