fix(missions): capture from the clone point, and let agents create files
ci / gates (push) Failing after 7s
ci / rust (push) Skipped
ci / frontend (push) Skipped
ci / e2e (push) Skipped
ci / publish (push) Skipped

Two defects found by running a real coding mission (019fc372) rather than a
test. Both made a coding phase look like it produced nothing.

**Capture measured the wrong baseline.** It diffed the working tree against
HEAD, which is correct only while work stays uncommitted. `rust_sdlc` has a
*committer* role, so committing is the intended path — meaning a mission that
did its job properly leaves a clean tree and captured nothing. That is exactly
what happened: the agent created `DELIVERY_PROBE.md`, committed it as
`aa3be95`, and the artifact recorded `empty: true` beside a commit that
plainly contained the work.

`mission_workspace` now records the clone point in `.git/clawmates-base` (in
`.git/`, so it travels with the checkout, stays invisible to the repository,
and cannot be reached by an agent through its pinned workspace), refreshed
whenever `fetch_and_reset` moves HEAD. Capture diffs from there, covering
committed, staged and unstaged changes in one pass. Checkouts predating the
marker fall back to HEAD and say so via `base_recorded: false`.

**Agents could not create files.** `coding_readwrite` granted `file_edit` but
not `file_write`. `file_edit` replaces an exact existing string and rejects an
empty `old_string`, so creating a new file was impossible. The mission
transcript is unambiguous: "the tool rejected empty old_string... the shell is
restricted", after which the agent worked around it through `shell`. The
comment above that profile has claimed it grants file_write since the day it
was written; the list never contained it.

Also broadens capture from coding/benchmark/security_scan to every phase kind
of a repo-bearing mission: `phase_task_text` tells research phases to "save
findings under /mission/repo/research/", so filtering by kind would have
discarded every research brief such a mission produced.

Regression tests cover committed-only and committed-plus-uncommitted work
against a real git repo.
