chore(dispatch): refuse auto licence/SPDX fixes (neurophone#99 closeout)

Owner directive 2026-06-02 forbids automated licence/SPDX edits. Licence
remediation is manual, per-file, owner-only. Triggered by neurophone#99
(auto-PR reverting PMPL -> MPL-2.0 across ~140 files, closed by owner).

- dispatch-runner.sh `execute_entry()`: early-exit refusal gate matching
  recipe_id or category against {license, spdx, pmpl, mpl-2, agpl,
  palimpsest}. Records outcome `refused_license_policy` and returns
  before any fix script can run.
- fix-license-hygiene.sh, fix-license-file.sh, fix-missing-spdx.sh:
  prepend `exit 1` refusal banner at the top of the script body so any
  direct invocation also refuses.
