feat(worker): deterministic publication gates + policy modes for review findings (#11)

+
+Review findings pass **deterministic publication gates** before any surface
+sees them: out-of-scope files (never consulted by the session), findings below
+the repo's `min_severity` policy, and duplicates are withheld — with the
+withheld counts stated in the digest. The `[review] publish` policy routes the
+gated digest to the Check Run (default), additionally to the status comment
+(`advisory_comment`), or as a blocking PR review verdict (`request_changes`).
