tegwick d1cf754222 NK-WP-0056-T11 done: bounded executor core runner
Consumes one admission once through the approval-engine carrier after an
effect-free preflight (validity, source pins, trust, window vs budget,
binding digest, actor, human aal2 approvers), emits run.started, runs steps
with settle-timed checks, reverts on failure with per-revert checks, retries
within attempts, stops on unknown outcomes, honours budget and kill switch,
and emits one value-free receipt (PDP not-evaluated). 22 tests with fakes.
BEA-9 extended to revert steps; examples regenerated.

"""Bounded executor: core runner (NK-WP-0056-T11).
Runs one Bounded Execution Admission (canon/standards/bounded-execution-admission_v0.1.md) exactly once:
preflight (no effect) the admission is valid (BEA-1..14); the executed source matches its pins; the
trust states hold; every operation and check is known; the approval carried by
approval-engine binds this admission's digest, names this executor as actor, was
approved by listed HUMAN approvers at aal2, is unconsumed, and the window is open
consume once, with request_digest = admission digest and decision_id = run id; an
unclear outcome is resolved by reading the approval back, never by consuming again
started `execution.run.started` to the audit sink; no custody, no run
steps in plan order, one consumer at a time; checks after each mutating step, after
their settle time; the kill switch and the budget are checked between steps
failure a failed check or an exhausted budget reverts the mutated steps in reverse
order (or stops, as the admission says) and re-runs their checks; an error of
unknown outcome stops without guessing; a failed revert stops and alerts
receipt one `execution.attribution.receipt` per run (PDP `not-evaluated` in the pilot)
Every effect goes through an injected interface: Carrier, operation and check callables, TrustOracle,
AuditSink, Alert, clocks. The runner never prints, logs or stores a value an operation handles.
