polish: 5-fix batch — CGA Attestation root cause sealed + envelope refactor

II4 (CRITICAL, CGA Attestation rescue):
- cmd_cga.py: roam cga verify was missing --cert-identity / --cert-oidc-issuer
  CLI flags. Cosign 2.x refuses keyless verify without explicit signer-identity.
  Added flags + env-var fallbacks + 3 regression tests (test_cga_fail_closed.py).
  The Python API had the kwargs since 2026-05-16; CLI exposure was missing.
  This is the recurring CGA Attestation failure root cause.
- .github/workflows/cga-attestation.yml: inject env vars from github.context
  (workflow-path identity + actions issuer).

MM4 (refactor, mcp_server.py envelope builders):
- Extracted _build_no_data_envelope + _build_invalid_json_envelope helpers
  for 6 near-identical 11-line blocks in _run_roam_inprocess /
  _run_roam_subprocess / _parse_subprocess_result. HH4 architectural finding.
  6 call sites collapse to 1-line helper calls. Subtle subprocess
  str(exc) divergence preserved + flagged.

HH4 (minor, mcp_server.py closed-enum):
- Added "INVALID_JSON": "warning" to _SEVERITY_MAP. Closed-enum hygiene
  for future _structured_error("error_code": "INVALID_JSON") callers.

KK4 (test isolation, pagerank):
- tests/test_personalized_pagerank.py::test_alpha_override_accepted gated
  with pytest.importorskip("numpy"). Test correctly asserts a fact about
  NetworkX PageRank that doesn't hold in roam's degree-based fallback
  (documented at TestPersonalizedPagerankAlphaIgnoredInFallback). W851
  discipline: verified before fixing — first hypothesis ("scores are
  byte-identical by coincidence") was wrong.

LL4 (doc drift, README):
- Minor stale-count fix.

Architectural observation (II4): "every wrapped subprocess kwarg should
have a CLI flag of the same shape." The CGA gap existed for ~5 months
between Python API (kwargs exposed) and CLI (flags absent).
