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.

"""``field_str`` is the coercion the whole ragged-row class turns on.
A bare ``str()`` is the BUG, not the fix: ``str(None)`` is the
four-character ``"None"``, which is truthy and once rendered a
literal ``None`` note line in the operator card while the prose
showed nothing. Its consumer is the observer's ``_open_tasks``
normaliser (the idle-tasks formatter takes counts now, not rows);
the ragged-row behaviour end to end is pinned in
``tests/test_coordinator_idle_observer.py::TestRaggedTaskRows``.
