feat: general gated run primitive + chat-assent approval (Layer 0)
Some checks failed
ci / build-test (push) Has been cancelled
ci / docker-build (push) Has been cancelled

Implements the first slice of plans/2026-07-10-general-gated-execution.md:
Nomos gets one general execution tool instead of only a fixed action enum,
gated by an automatic risk classifier, and approval can be granted by the
operator just replying in chat instead of clicking a button.

- internal/policy/command.go: ClassifyCommand(cmd, declaredRisk) — rule-based
  read-only allowlist + destructive denylist, default-escalate to
  config_mutation for anything else. Classification can only ESCALATE the
  caller's declared risk, never de-escalate it (destructive always wins even
  if declared read_only). Compound commands (&&, ;, |, $()) never qualify for
  the read-only fast path. Full test corpus.
- internal/mcp/server.go: new `run` MCP tool — target (host:/lxc:), command,
  purpose, optional declared_risk. Read-only commands execute immediately;
  everything else queues an approval exactly like pct_create today, executed
  via httpapi's existing executeApprovedAction. Also fixes a real latent bug:
  pct_exec resolved an LXC's host attribute without the "host:" prefix, so it
  could never find the Proxmox host — new resolveExecTarget/resolveRunTarget
  helpers (mcp + httpapi) fix this for both the new `run` action and existing
  actions that route through the same execution path.
- internal/httpapi/phase3.go: "run" case in executeApprovedAction; fixes two
  bugs found while wiring this up — (1) DecideApproval hardcoded risk_class to
  'config_mutation' on every approve, silently corrupting the audit ledger for
  every other risk class; (2) denying/revoking an approval never updated the
  linked execution's status, so it stayed 'pending_approval' forever instead
  of reflecting the decision.
- cmd/nomos/assent.go: deterministic (not LLM-judged) chat-assent detection.
  Scoped to the immediately-preceding assistant turn's pending approvals only
  — an old "yes" can't retroactively approve something new. Destructive-risk
  actions are excluded from loose assent. Approves via the same HTTP decision
  endpoint the UI button calls, so both paths share one audit trail.
- web/.../InlineApproval.svelte: self-healing poll — a pending approval card
  now picks up being decided via ANY path (chat assent, Ops page, Matrix), not
  just its own button. Previously the banner stayed stuck showing
  Approve/Deny even after the action had already run elsewhere.
- nomos/SOUL.md: `run` is now the general capability ("no fixed menu, only a
  risk gate"); documents chat-assent behavior and the destructive exception.
