Verify and harden 7 claimed fixes: add tests, fix gaps

Verification and hardening across 7 claimed fixed tickets:

CG-11/TICKET-12 (TUI cost):
- Add _safe_run_agent_task wrapper to prevent TUI crash on adapter errors
- Unify cost reads via _get_session_cost_cents() (controller-first fallback)
- Add tests: undo controller delegation, cost fallback, safe wrapper error handling

CG-13/TICKET-13 (exception swallowing):
- Replace except Exception: pass in _agent.py with logger.warning

CG-14/TICKET-15 (audit_trail removal):
- Add regression test verifying suspension data has no audit_trail field

CG-15/TICKET-12 (TUI undo):
- Add test verifying _handle_undo calls controller.undo_last_run() first

TASK-DD2-002 (explicit root guard):
- No gaps found; existing tests sufficient

TASK-DD2-011 (corruption warnings):
- Fix health_report() in RunStore and MemoryCatalog to actually scan JSON
- Add tests: RunStore health_report, MemoryCatalog health_report, preflight detection

TASK-DD2-012 (failure-card stopwords):
- Add edge-case tests: empty task, stopwords-only, short tokens, error-type-only

Constraint: health_report() scan must read each run file only for first-line JSON validity, not full parse — keeps O(n) scan cheap.
Tested: python3 -m pytest -q (3285 passed, 89 skipped); ruff check; mypy teaagent/tui/ teaagent/tui/_commands.py teaagent/cli/_handlers/_agent.py
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Not-tested: agent_review.py duplicate code removal (out of scope); memory/catalog.py dead code cleanup (out of scope)

 ## Open issues and workarounds
 
-### 1. TUI `/cost` and the budget bar show $0.00 (cosmetic, not a spend cap)
-In `teaagent tui`, the session cost counter is not yet wired to real run cost, so
-`/cost` and the budget display read `$0.00` regardless of actual usage.
-- **2026-06-02 code note:** the working tree now includes a stop-gap that adds
-  `result.cost_cents` to the TUI session counter. Keep this issue open until the
-  active TUI path and full controller parity are tested.
-- **Impact:** display only — your provider still bills normally; the budget *cap*
-  (`--max-estimated-cost-cents`) still enforces.
-- **Workaround:** use `teaagent chat` if you need an accurate live session-cost readout,
-  or check the per-run summary / provider dashboard.
-- **Tracking:** CG-11 / TICKET-12.

-### 2. `/undo` behaves differently in the TUI vs the CLI
+### 1. `/undo` behaves differently in the TUI vs the CLI
 - `teaagent chat` `/undo` → surgical, restores only the last run's files (undo journal).
 - `teaagent tui` `/undo` → git-stash checkpoint restore (different mechanism/scope).
 - **Recommendation:** prefer `teaagent chat` for fine-grained undo today. In the TUI,
   create a `/checkpoint` before risky tasks.
