fix: supervisor should clean up stale PHASE:escalate files for closed issues (#664)

Add auto-cleanup to supervisor/preflight.sh: PHASE:escalate files whose
parent issue/PR is confirmed closed (via Forge API) are deleted after a
24h grace period. Cleanup results appear in the preflight output for
journal logging by the supervisor formula.
