feat(self-audit): continuous_improvement audits the project record it can actually reach

Its first run could not do its job. The template audited "every project
agent's .brain" through per-agent APIs — fetch a brain, submit to
/api/claws/{id}/level-up, pull claw metrics — none of which a mission can
reach; agent brains live in the server's /data/brains volume and nothing
delivered them in. It spent itself searching, found a ROSTER.md in a
scratch repo, and audited that.

A delivery channel alone would not have helped: per-mission crews carry
~2 KB seed brains with no history, because missions write memory to the
REPOSITORY brain, one judge verdict per phase. That is where a project's
history actually accumulates, so that is the subject now.

mission_memory::export renders the whole repo brain as markdown — the
.brain is HDF5 and a mission container has no library to read it — and
mission_orchestrator installs it at /mission/memory/PROJECT-MEMORY.md,
outside the checkout so it is input and never lands in the diff, the same
way install_skill_files delivers skills.

The three roles are rewritten for that record: an inspector that finds
patterns (several UNMET lines on the same kind of work) and quotes them;
a proposer that ties each proposal to at least two lines or drops it; and
an evaluator that checks the cited lines exist verbatim and marks each
proposal SUPPORTED, WEAK or UNSUPPORTED. Each says outright that "no
change is warranted" is a complete result — the property that kept the
first run from inventing improvements out of empty brains.

Local: 523 passed; the two DB-backed world tests panic PoolTimedOut
because Docker Desktop is down here. CI runs them against real Postgres.

+  - A condition the judge keeps reading differently from how it reads
+
+A single UNMET line is an incident, not a pattern. Say how many lines
+support each finding, and quote them.
+
+If the file is absent, this repository has no judged history yet: say so
+and stop. That is a complete audit, not a failure.
