feat: pack-hunt safety + opt-in Kali+ arsenal + capability-approval gate + tester-feedback UX

Adds three coordinated capabilities and tightens two defaults on purpose — this is
safety hardening, NOT a backward-compatible drop-in (see "Tightened defaults").
Fifteen independent adversarial review passes; findings fixed and test-pinned.

- Pack-hunt safety: a strict-majority adjudicator with a comment/string/regex/
  raw-string/heredoc/POD-aware cite-check (language-gated across C/C++/Py/Rust/Go/
  Java/JS/TS/shell/SQL/PHP/Ruby/Perl) so a hallucinated killing-guard can't refute
  a real finding — the cited comparison's operator must match source, and a
  string/regex/heredoc/generic-arglist/template-interpolation is blanked before
  matching. Plus a rate-limit/degraded-health tracker, a global LLM semaphore, and
  a PackBoard with an atomic claim CAS + snapshot-on-emit/clone-on-ingest.
- Opt-in Kali+ arsenal (T3MP3ST_FULL_ARSENAL, OFF by default): 35 default tools
  (31 built-in + 4 external-CLI wrappers) -> 83 with the catalog armed (verify-claims
  CLAIM 4). Most adapters need the underlying binary installed. metasploit / hydra /
  bloodhound are never minted through the generic factory.
- Capability-approval + spicy-action gate for the NEW dangerous arsenal only
  (pre-existing built-ins keep running freely): approve-once, fail-safe deny when
  unattended, redacted audit trail over SSE. T3MP3ST_GATE_BUILTINS=1 extends it to
  the spicy built-in probes. Audit redaction is a pure, unit-tested module.

Tightened defaults (intentional, ON by default — NOT backward-compatible):
- Egress containment: once a mission target is set, built-in networked tools refuse
  off-scope public hosts (not the target/subdomains, not loopback/private) with
  SCOPE DENIED — keeps the agent on authorized scope.
- Role-specialized operator toolkits: each archetype gets a curated default tool
  menu (scanner -> scan tools, exploiter -> sqli/xss/etc). Tools stay registered
  team-wide; the per-role menu is the operator's working set.

UX (from live-tester feedback): a one-click "Approve & run" modal when a standard
Hunt blocks on an external-target receipt (was a dead-end); bounded-parallel
benchmark file ingestion; the deterministic mission-gate chip co-located with the
subjective SITREP pace narration (no more "behind schedule" next to a clean gate);
and click-through finding detail + evidence in the UI (was export-only).

Docs: README + INTEGRITY_LEDGER made re-derivable — honest 35/83 tool count, the
egress-containment default documented, and the Cybench number reconciled to the
single verify-claims-enforced 23/40 = 58% (dropped the stale/uncited 21 and 26).
README voice pass: killed the underselling `Successful Exploits: 0` disqualifier
(read as "never popped anything" — false, given CVE-Zero + the live disclosure
pipeline); swagger now rests on receipts, not vibes. Also corrected the operator
status — the downstream operators run the SAME real tool-backed ReAct loop as
recon (not "orchestration stubs"); the honest limit is that the coordinated swarm
is unproven (single-agent is the benchmarked path), not that they're scaffolding.

Gates: 292 tests, tsc + lint clean, verify-claims 20/20, arsenal:smoke 125/0,
disclosure-CLI self-test 11/11.

 ## What ships today
 
-The framework is an 8-operator kill chain. **Recon is a live, tool-backed engine.** Most downstream operators are scaffolding today, and this table says so. A live report currently shows `Successful Exploits: 0` outside the benchmarked path, and the copy here will never contradict that.
+The framework is an 8-operator kill chain, and this table won't blow smoke about it. **Recon is a live, tool-backed engine** — and the teeth are already real: 90.1% pass@1 on XBEN, 4/10 post-cutoff CVEs hunted cold, and a coordinated-disclosure pipeline that's live enough to have drafts held for vendor coordination right now. What's *not* proven is the swarm. Each downstream operator — Exploiter, Infiltrator, Exfiltrator, Ghost — runs the **same real, tool-backed ReAct loop as recon** (real exploit tools, not stubs), but the headline numbers came from a single agent, not the coordinated 8-operator cell, and end-to-end swarm exploitation is unbenchmarked and still unreliable. The engine is real; the swarm is the part still earning its stripes. Loud where we've earned it, blunt about the rest.

+ *    returns `null` for them, so a keyless pack agent cannot invoke them through generic execution.

+ *    exactly like the hand-written `EXTERNAL_TOOLS` (nmap_scan/nuclei_scan) do, so the model can pick
+ *    another tool instead of crashing the loop.
+ *  - Scope is enforced BEFORE the subprocess runs. The Arsenal already has a hard egress gate in

+ *    accepts an OPTIONAL `scopeOk(target)` predicate as a second, in-handler belt-and-braces check on

+/**
+ * T3MP3ST Arsenal — capability approval + spicy-action warning gate.
+ *
+ * The human-veto layer that lets an operator be trusted with live post-ex tools (metasploit, hydra,
+ * sqlmap, …) safely: an intrusive/credential/dangerous tool is INERT until the tool has been approved
+ * — approved once, then free for the session ("approve once, then free") — and the hottest actions
+ * still fire a loud, audited WARNING every time so you always SEE what the agent is about to do.
+ *
+ * Two ways a gated tool becomes approved:
+ *   1. INTERACTIVE — the first time an operator reaches for it, `requestApproval` asks the human;
+ *      a yes approves the TOOL for the rest of the session.
+ *   2. PRE-AUTHORIZED — a headless / unattended run (benchmarks, pack hunts) is handed an allowlist
+ *      up front (`preApprovedTools`); those run free, everything is audited, anything off-list denies.
+ *
+ * FAIL-SAFE: a gated tool that is neither pre-approved nor interactively approvable (no approver
+ * wired) is DENIED — an unattended run never silently fires an exploit because nobody was there to
+ * say no.
+ *
+ * SCOPE (what "gated" covers): a tool is gated iff it carries a gated `riskTier`. By default that is
+ * the OPT-IN specialist arsenal — the purpose-built post-ex drivers (metasploit=dangerous,
+ * hydra=credential) and the Kali+ adapter tools (stamped from their catalog risk). The pre-existing
+ * BUILT-IN probes (sqli_scan, password_spray, …) ship UNGATED for backward-compatibility — their
+ * safety boundary is the always-on egress SCOPE gate (an out-of-scope target is refused regardless of
+ * approval). An operator can extend this gate to cover the spicy built-ins too by launching with
+ * T3MP3ST_GATE_BUILTINS=1, which stamps them with a riskTier. So the fail-safe above applies to every
+ * tool that is gated; it does not, by itself, make the ungated built-ins inert.
+ *
+ * This module is PURE — no engine/server imports, no I/O. The host injects the approver + warning
+ * sink via the policy, so it is fully unit-testable with fakes. Sits behind Arsenal.execute(),
+ * alongside the egress scope gate.

+ * BOTH hardened so a fabricated guard cannot pass on token coincidence alone:
+ *
+ *  1. NORMALIZED SUBSTRING: the whitespace-stripped, lowercased quote is a substring of the
+ *     normalized source AND the quote has real guard SHAPE (a comparison operator / control keyword /
+ *     bounds-call). A bare common token (`length`, or a copy of the sink line) has no guard shape and
+ *     cannot verify. Tolerates reformatting/indentation.
+ *  2. STRUCTURAL COMPARISON: the quote is a comparison `a OP b`, and SOME source line contains a REAL
+ *     comparison whose two operands are exactly `a` and `b` (whole tokens, either order). Mere
+ *     co-occurrence of the two operand strings on a line is NOT enough — that was the hole that let
+ *     `n > src` / `idx >= width` (operands that never actually get compared) mint a bogus REFUTE and
+ *     kill a real finding.
+ *
+ * @param guard  the cited guard; needs a non-empty `quote`.
+ * @param source the FULL text of the cited source file (injected by the caller — this module does no
+ *               I/O). Pass '' if the file is missing → false.
+ * @returns true iff the guard is corroborated by the source; false if the quote is empty/too-short,
+ *          lacks guard shape, the source is empty, or the cited operands are not actually compared in

+/**
+ * T3MP3ST Pack Hunt — PackBoard (Phase-2 shared workspace / lead-board)
+ *
+ * An APPEND-ONLY event log + folded projections (a leads map, live claims, per-agent
+ * heartbeats), on the same EventEmitter discipline as `EvidenceVault`
+ * (src/evidence/index.ts). This is the pack's shared workspace: agents post leads, claim
+ * work so they don't re-tread, and endorse/refute each other — and each agent is threaded
+ * a BOUNDED `situationReport()` at task start instead of the raw board.
+ *
+ * See the pack-hunt design. The three red-team invariants this file
+ * is responsible for (§2):
+ *  - HT-1: `claim()` is a REAL synchronous compare-and-set — no `await` between the version
+ *    read and the write, so Node's single-threaded loop makes it genuinely atomic.
+ *  - HT-1: de-dup collapses an honest duplicate into an *endorsement* that raises `smoke`,
+ *    never a second lead card.
+ *  - HT-2: `refute()` only APPENDS a refutation vote; it never unilaterally flips `status`.
+ *    Flipping to refuted is the audit quorum's job (Phase-3), gated on `guardExistsInSource()`.
+ *
+ * The board mirrors lightweight finding *cards*; it is NOT the vault and does not gate
+ * provenance. `where.targetId` is the foreign key back to the provenance-gated `Finding.id`.

+// RATE-LIMIT / DEGRADED-HEALTH + LLM SEMAPHORE — Phase-0 pack-hunt safety primitive (HT-3)
+// =============================================================================
+// The exact cli-swarm lesson, ported into the engine path: N keyless local-agent operators share
+// ONE subscription quota. Under a pack hunt they trip usage limits; several calls come back empty.
+// If an empty/errored slot reads as "clean / found-nothing", the pack calls a rate-limited target
+// CONVERGED. That is the failure this module exists to make impossible.
+//
+// Three pure, dependency-free primitives (no engine imports — safe to share everywhere):
+//   1. isRateLimited(text)  — detect 429 / quota / usage-limit / rate-limit signatures.
+//   2. DegradedTracker      — records ok/fail per local-agent call; a run where failures DOMINATE
+//                             (>= 50%) verdicts INVALID_DEGRADED, NEVER a clean assessment.
+//   3. Semaphore            — a correct bounded-concurrency async gate. A SINGLE GLOBAL instance
+//                             (localAgentSemaphore) caps ALL local-agent calls across the pack, so
+//                             8 operators behind one quota don't self-DoS into rate-limit hell.
+//
+// Ported verbatim from scripts/cli-swarm.mjs:
+//   - the isRateLimited regex (cli-swarm.mjs:54-56).
+//   - the degraded rule `backendFails / backendCalls >= 0.5 => INVALID_DEGRADED` (cli-swarm.mjs:355-358).
+// =============================================================================
+
+/**
+ * True when `text` carries a rate-limit / quota-exhaustion / usage-limit / overload signature. A
+ * local-agent call that hits its subscription quota returns an ERROR STRING, not findings — surface
+ * it so the slot is flagged degraded and can NEVER be mistaken for a clean "found nothing".
+ *
+ * Broadened past cli-swarm's original (which missed Anthropic 529/"overloaded", Bedrock
+ * "TooManyRequestsException", gRPC/Vertex "RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED", bare "throttled", and reversed
+ * "exceeded your quota" phrasings) so a throttled reply can't slip through as a clean result. The
+ * fail-safe direction is to OVER-flag degraded — a false positive just re-runs a slot; a false
+ * negative books a rate-limited body as a clean assessment, the exact bug this guards.
+ *
+ * Word/phrase signatures fire anywhere; the numeric HTTP status codes (429/503/529) fire ONLY when
+ * they read as a status/error, so a bare integer in benign output ("line 429", "CWE-529",
+ * "4290 findings") does not false-positive.
+ *
+ * Signatures are provider ERROR-ENVELOPE tokens, NOT the bare English a security finding uses. In a
+ * pack hunt the local-agent's own result body legitimately describes rate-limit / DoS vulnerabilities
+ * ("rate limiting is MISSING on /login", "no rate-limit on password reset", "CWE-400 … service
+ * unavailable", "slow down attacker", "concurrent request bug") — those must read as FINDINGS, not as a
+ * throttled slot (adversarial review, 7th pass). So the ambiguous bare phrases were dropped: a limit
+ * being HIT is matched ("rate limit exceeded/reached/hit", past-tense "rate-limited"), while a finding
+ * that a limit is ABSENT is not. Genuine 503/"service unavailable" throttles are still caught via the

+ *    (`where.targetId`) back to the provenance-gated `Finding.id` when one exists; the
+ *    board never launders provenance itself (HT-1). `provenance` here is a plain flag.
+ *  - `version` + `claim` exist so `claim()` can be a REAL synchronous compare-and-set
+ *    (HT-1: "the claim-lock is advisory" → make it atomic).
+ *  - `refutations` is append-only and NEVER unilaterally flips `status` (HT-2: a false
