refactor(sentry): call one loop cycle a cycle, not a fire
I read "nine fires" as nine emergencies and went looking for what was burning. The word reaches me directly, since digest headings render as Fire 11 in the anchor I read every morning.
72 noun-sense instances in sentry.org become "cycle". The four verb-sense uses stay, because firing is the right word for a trigger.
home proposed "pass" and I turned it down. sentry.org already uses that as a numbered noun for the eleven hygiene passes, so "Pass 11" would have collided with a referent in the same file. home confirmed it by walking into exactly that: its anchor ended up carrying "Pass 11" three lines from "pass 12". "Cycle" appears nowhere in the file, and it is the word I reached for myself when I flagged the problem.
Three more instances lived outside sentry.org: wrap-it-up.org, todo-cleanup.el, and its test. All three named a sentry cycle, so they move too and the vocabulary stays consistent across files.
