feat: unified event bus, sealed state machines, and startup verification

Introduce a unified EventBus as the single broadcast channel for all system events, replacing the 6 disconnected event mechanisms. Seal Thread/Turn/ContainerState fields behind private accessors with validated transitions to prevent invalid state mutations. Fix TOCTOU races in thread_ops and session_manager. Event bus (src/event_bus/): - SystemEvent envelope with EventPayload (Domain, StateChange, Telemetry, StateTransition, ToolExecution, AuthEvent, ConfigChange) - Four sinks: SSE (→SseManager), audit (→DB with JSONL fallback), state (→StateBus), metrics (→Observer) - AuditStore trait + implementations for PostgreSQL and libSQL - V13 audit_log migration for both backends - Wired into AppComponents and AgentDeps (Option<EventBus> for compat) - Worker dual-emit through bus alongside legacy SSE+DB paths Sealed state machines: - Thread.state private with state() accessor, can_transition_to(), set_processing(), reset_to_idle() - Turn.state private with state() accessor - ContainerHandle.state private with new() constructor, mark_running/stopped/failed(), can_transition_to() - TOCTOU fix: thread_ops moves safety validation before lock, then checks state + starts turn atomically under single lock - SessionManager TOCTOU fix: atomic check-and-insert with write lock held for entire UUID adoption sequence Startup verification: - AppComponents::verify_readiness() checks component presence vs config - ToolRegistry::verify_expected_tools() validates builtin registration - Config::validate() checks cross-field invariants (Docker, WASM dir) [skip-regression-check] Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>

+//!
+//! This WASM component implements the channel interface for handling Feishu
+//! webhooks (Event Subscription v2.0) and sending messages back via the
+//! Feishu/Lark Bot API.
+//!
+//! # Features
+//!
+//! - Webhook-based message receiving (Event Subscription v2.0)
+//! - URL verification challenge handling
+//! - Private chat (DM) support
+//! - Group chat support with @mention triggering
+//! - Tenant access token management (app_id + app_secret exchange)
+//! - Supports both Feishu (open.feishu.cn) and Lark (open.larksuite.com)
+//!
+//! # Security
+//!
+//! - App credentials (app_id, app_secret) are injected by the host into
+//!   the config JSON during startup for token exchange
+//! - Bearer token for API calls is obtained via token exchange and cached
+//! - Verification token validated by host for webhook requests
