release: v0.7.5 — drop Rust from onboarding + agent-resolved PR rebases

- Onboarding installs task-journal from prebuilt GitHub-release binaries instead
  of building with cargo; the Rust toolchain is no longer pulled (loom-hwfu).
- The agent resolves a PR-stage rebase conflict instead of punting to the human,
  with a "Push anyway (skip rebase)" UI fallback (loom-wb9t, loom-b2xl).

+### Changed
+
+- **Onboarding no longer installs a Rust toolchain** — task-journal was built from
+  source with `cargo`, which pulled the whole Rust toolchain just to get one
+  binary. It now installs task-journal's prebuilt binaries straight from its
+  GitHub release (download + sha256 verify + extract to `~/.local/bin`),
+  cross-platform. The `cargo` install step is gone entirely.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **The agent resolves a PR-stage rebase conflict** — when syncing the task branch
+  onto the live base hit a conflict, Loom told the user to "resolve the branch
+  manually". A rebase conflict is a coding task, so it's now handed to an agent
+  pass (resolve → continue → verify) instead of the human; the human is the
+  last-resort fallback.
+- **"Push anyway (skip rebase)" escape hatch** — if the agent still can't resolve
+  a conflict, the PR result card now offers a button to push the branch as-is
+  (skipping the rebase) from the UI, instead of a dead-end error.
