fix: update AGENTS.md docs and handle stale PHASE:escalate in gardener

Address review feedback:
- gardener/AGENTS.md: remove escalation flow references, describe vault routing
- supervisor/AGENTS.md: remove escalation flow references, describe vault routing
- gardener-run.sh: treat PHASE:escalate as terminal (kills session) to prevent
  zombie sessions from stale/legacy escalation writes

# Gardener Agent
**Role**: Backlog grooming — detect duplicate issues, missing acceptance
criteria, oversized issues, stale issues, and circular dependencies. Enforces
the quality gate: strips the `backlog` label from issues that lack acceptance
criteria checkboxes (`- [ ]`) or an `## Affected files` section. Invokes
Claude to fix or escalate to a human via Matrix.
Claude to fix what it can; files vault items for what it cannot.
**Trigger**: `gardener-run.sh` runs 4x/day via cron. Sources `lib/guard.sh` and
calls `check_active gardener` first — skips if `$FACTORY_ROOT/state/.gardener-active`
is absent. Then creates a tmux session with `claude --model sonnet`, injects
`formulas/run-gardener.toml` with escalation replies as context, monitors the
phase file, and cleans up on completion or timeout (2h max session). No action
issues — the gardener runs directly from cron like the planner, predictor, and
supervisor.

**Key files**:
- `gardener/gardener-run.sh` — Cron wrapper + orchestrator: lock, memory guard,
consumes escalation replies, sources disinto project config, creates tmux session,
injects formula prompt, monitors phase file via custom `_gardener_on_phase_change`
callback (passed to `run_formula_and_monitor`). Kills session on `PHASE:escalate`
to prevent zombies. Stays alive through CI/review/merge cycle after `PHASE:awaiting_ci`
— injects CI results and review feedback, re-signals `PHASE:awaiting_ci` after
fixes, signals `PHASE:awaiting_review` on CI pass. Executes pending-actions
manifest after PR merge.
