feat: introduce Wiggum Break as named circuit breaker

Browse Source 
Replaces generic "circuit breaker" with "Wiggum Break" — policy enforcement
halt condition named after Chief Wiggum (policy + Ralph Loop's dad).
Hard breaks (immediate halt) and soft breaks (finish then halt) with
wiggum.break event type. Updated both papers and shadow-detection skill.

### Circuit Breaker
### Wiggum Break (Circuit Breaker)
| Trigger | Action |
Named after Chief Wiggum — policy enforcement AND the Ralph Loop's dad.
When a Wiggum Break triggers, the system halts execution, saves state, and
reports to the user. "Bake 'em away, toys."
**Hard breaks** (halt immediately, commit WIP):
| Trigger | Reason |
|---------|--------|
| 3 consecutive agent failures/timeouts | STOP. Infrastructure issue, not a code problem. |
| 3 consecutive task failures in sprint | STOP. Something systemic is wrong. |
| Same shadow detected 3+ times in one cycle | STOP. Task needs to be broken down or re-scoped. |
| Test suite broken after merge | Auto-revert, STOP, report. |
| 3 consecutive agent failures/timeouts | Infrastructure issue, not a code problem |
| 3 consecutive task failures in sprint | Something systemic is wrong |
| Same shadow detected 3+ times in one cycle | Task needs to be broken down or re-scoped |
| Test suite broken after merge | Auto-revert, then halt |
| 2+ oscillating findings (present→absent→present) | Fundamental tension in review criteria |
### Diminishing Returns
**Soft breaks** (finish current task, then halt):
| Signal | Action |
| Signal | Reason |
|--------|--------|
| Cycle N findings identical to cycle N-1 | STOP cycling. Present best result. |
| Convergence score <0.5 for 2 consecutive cycles | STOP. "This needs a different approach." |
| Reviewer finding count increases cycle over cycle | STOP. Implementation is diverging, not converging. |
| Cycle N findings identical to cycle N-1 | No progress — present best result |
| Convergence score <0.5 for 2 consecutive cycles | "This needs a different approach" |
| Reviewer finding count increases cycle over cycle | Implementation is diverging, not converging |
When a Wiggum Break fires, emit a `wiggum.break` event with trigger, run state, and unresolved findings.
The event log makes it easy to audit why a run was halted and whether the break was warranted.
