fix(workflows): commit template-sync churn deterministically

Phase A's startup rsync copies template updates from rulesets into each project's .ai/, but nothing committed that churn, so it accumulated across sessions and eventually blocked Phase A.0's auto-fast-forward (git won't ff a dirty tree). Two projects hit it the same day.

I added a Step 4.0 to wrap-it-up.org that commits the churn as its own chore commit before the session-work commit, guarded so it only auto-commits synced .ai paths matching rulesets canonical byte-for-byte and surfaces anything that doesn't. startup.org Phase C now surfaces leftover churn at session start as the crashed-session safety net. Both skip the rulesets repo, where .ai/ is a committed mirror.

I also moved four misplaced PROPERTIES drawers in todo.org (DONE tasks) from after the resolution prose to immediately under the CLOSED line, so org parses them as real drawers.

    - Briefly note significant template updates noticed during sync (new workflows, protocol changes).
    - *Task-review nudge.* If the Phase A staleness count (step 11) is greater than zero, surface one line: "=<N>= top-level tasks unreviewed for >7 days — say 'let's do a task review' to run a cycle." If zero, say nothing.
    - *Language-bundle sync.* If the Phase A step-12 call (=sync-language-bundle.sh=) printed anything, surface it. =fixed= lines are informational — the drift was already repaired (note that =.claude/= is now dirty if the project commits it). A =drift= line on =settings.json= is surface-only and needs the printed =make install-<lang> PROJECT=.= to reconcile; flag it so the user can decide. If the call was silent, say nothing.
+   - *Template-sync churn (safety net).* Check whether Phase A's rsync left uncommitted churn in the synced =.ai/= paths — accumulated from a prior session that crashed before wrap-up, or freshly added this session when rulesets advanced. Without surfacing, it builds up silently until it blocks Phase A.0's auto-ff (git won't ff a dirty tree). Skip in the rulesets repo itself (there =.ai/= is a committed mirror, kept honest by the pre-commit hook). The check is sequential here, after the rsync has finished — not a Phase A step, to keep that batch race-free.

+     If it reports a count, surface one line: wrap-up's Step 4.0 will commit it as =chore: sync .ai tooling from templates=, or offer to commit it now. If silent, say nothing. This is the crashed-session counterpart to the wrap-up commit step (the primary fix). From the 2026-05-31 jr-estate + work handoffs.
    - *Surface pending cross-agent messages.* If =cross-agent-status= reported any pending messages, list them with their =cross-agent-recv= decision (process / query / reject) per file. For =process= messages in this project's inbox, propose handling now or after the current task. For pending in other projects, mention the count so the user knows to switch projects when ready. If HALT was active, surface that prominently — cross-agent activity is paused until =cross-agent-resume= clears it.
 2. *Process inbox if non-empty.* Mandatory — don't ask, just delegate to [[file:process-inbox.org][process-inbox.org]]. That workflow owns the value gate (advances an existing TODO / improves the project / serves the mission), the per-source rejection flow (Craig / project handoff / script), the priority-scheme check before filing, and the =.eml= extraction path. Single source of truth for the discipline.
 3. *Execute project-specific startup extras* (the contents of =.ai/project-workflows/startup-extras.org= read in Phase A). If the file didn't exist, skip.
