feat(#2772): branch on outcome in the graph, not inside the node

Splits what was one `Cancelled` outcome into two, because they were two
different facts wearing one name:

- `Skipped` — the node's own edges ruled it out. Expected; the failure
  branch of a run that succeeded is `Skipped`. A parent's roll-up
  **ignores** it.
- `Cancelled` — the work was dropped before it could start. Still
  not-success for the roll-up, as before.

Without that split, branching on outcome defeats itself: exactly one
branch is always ruled out, `any_child_failed` counted it, and every DAG
containing a branch would have rolled up failed no matter how the run
went. Caught in review before it was written, not after.

`AFTER_ANY` becomes `{Done, Failed, Skipped}` — "anything except the work
being dropped". That is what it always meant; it only swept in
cancellation because cancellation wasn't distinguishable from
elimination. Audited every user rather than assuming, which is how the
one regression in my own proposal surfaced: `{Done, Failed}` would have
refused to run rebuild's recovery `Reconcile` after a failed `MetaSync`
(that eliminates `Prebuild`, so the tail's dep is `Skipped`, not
`Failed`) and left the container down.

With that, the templates stop computing outcomes and let the graph pick:

- `ResolveApproval { approval_id, outcome }` — one tail per outcome, each
  edged to accept only its own, so exactly one is ever runnable.
- `EmitRebuilt { agent, ok }` — a pair. `ok` is not derived, it is which
  of the two the graph let run.

Edges are conjunctive, so "any of these roots failed" is not directly
sayable. The composition: the success branch is `AFTER_OK` on every root
(so it is itself eliminated the moment one doesn't succeed), and the
failure branch keys off *that* elimination. The failure branch also
waits on every root — without it, a failed `Prebuild` eliminates the
success branch immediately and the failure would be announced while the
recovery `Reconcile` was still running. The tests caught that one.

Deletes, all of them #2770's host-side debt:

- `Claim.deps`, `DepOutcome`, `Claim::deps_state`, `Claim::deps_error`
  and the dep-snapshotting loop in `claim_ready`. Executors read their
  own variant now; nothing inspects anything.
- `NodeKind::is_tail()` and the `cancel` exemption built on it. Sparing
  is derived from the edges: `cancel` keeps a node iff one of its edges
  accepts `Cancelled`. An approval tail names it and survives to resolve
  the row; `Reconcile` doesn't and is cancelled with the rest. My earlier
  claim that this couldn't dissolve was only true while `AFTER_ANY`
  accepted cancellation.

`resolve_approval_dag` / `deploy_terminal_tag` now take `TerminalState`
rather than the wire `State`, so both matches are exhaustive instead of
ending in a catch-all.

Skipped nodes are filtered off the wire alongside `Done` ones. That costs
some dashboard detail on a failed rebuild — which steps were skipped —
and the tests say so with a pointer to the follow-up. Surfacing them as
`Cancelled` instead would be worse: the client roll-up ranks `Cancelled`
above `Running`, so a successful DAG with a not-taken branch would read
as cancelled.
