fix(helm): add missing and deleted-card phases to Python sync planner

[geojitsu]

Intent

Found by the live canary-board check before merging PR #30 (already merged; see data/fm-helm-sync-canary-board-002/report.md finding 4 and 5 for the full evidence). The captain's own follow-up ask, relayed: get the Python Helm sync planner's two missing phases built and re-verified before anyone attempts to switch bin/fm-helm-sync.sh over to it.

What Changed

• Added a "missing" phase to plan_board that closes orphaned Helm cards (or, for a never-before-seen captain-created card, wakes intake instead) mirroring the bash/jq planner's missing_entries logic, guarded so an empty desired set touches no cards.
• Added a "deleted" phase that either silently retains a tombstone (task already Done or under an existing captain hold) or places a captain hold with a wake request when a cached card's item disappears from the board with no replacement, mirroring deleted_entries.
• Extended DesiredCard/SyncState/HoldDeletedTask with hold_kind, cache_existed, and item-aware fields, added WakeMissingCard/SkipRecreatingDeletedCard plan actions with jq-parity byte serialization, and updated the architecture/API docs plus jq-parity tests to cover the new phases.

Risk Assessment

✅ Low: The cumulative planner changes are bounded and the reviewed missing/deleted-card paths match the production jq decisions at the modeled fixture boundary.

• 🚨 python/helm_sync/planner.py:614 - _missing_phase_actions takes only snapshot and desired_by_task - it has no access to state.cards (the port's equivalent of jq's old_by_task). Its own docstring (lines 617-623) claims a 'valid but never-before-seen task id (a captain-created card with no backlog task)' is 'left untouched', matching jq's 'ignore'/'wake: run intake' branches - but the code has no way to make that distinction and unconditionally appends CloseMissingCard (a live Status->Done field write) for every card whose task isn't in desired_by_task and isn't already Done. In bin/fm-helm-lib.sh (missing_entries, lines 770-775), a task id never seen in $old_by_task produces action 'wake' (send an intake notification) with NO field write at all - the card is left alone. Concrete failing sequence: a captain manually adds a draft card to the board with a well-formed backtick task id that has never existed in the backlog (this is exactly the scenario jq's own comment anticipates: 'captain added Helm card ... with no backlog task; run intake'). On the next plan_board call, this port marks that card Done instead of leaving it untouched - a wrong, silently-destructive action for a card the backlog never owned. docs/1.architecture/3.helm-sync-python.md describes only the missing wake notification ('does not yet raise jq's ... wake') without disclosing that the fallback also performs an incorrect field write, so this isn't a knowingly-scoped simplification as documented - it's a materially different, undisclosed behavior change. Since the user intent for this change is specifically to get the two missing-card phases 'built and re-verified' before any cutover, this parity gap in exactly that phase is in scope now, not deferred.
• ⚠️ python/helm_sync/planner.py:677 - _deleted_phase_actions only retains a deleted card silently (KeepDeletedTombstone) when str(wanted.status) == 'Done'. jq's deleted_entries (bin/fm-helm-lib.sh:794) also retains silently when $rec.hold_kind == 'captain' (an existing captain hold), independent of task state. DesiredCard carries no hold_kind/hold_reason field, so a captain-held task (hold_kind=='captain', hold_reason set, state != done) renders to status 'Waiting on you' via desired.py's _status()/_kind(), never 'Done' - meaning this port will raise a new captain-hold wake for a card deletion that jq would silently retain, since the task is already under a captain hold. The smallest honest fix requires adding a hold_kind/hold_reason field to DesiredCard (a model/schema extension), so this is flagged for the author to decide rather than to auto-fix.

2 warnings still open:

• ⚠️ python/helm_sync/planner.py:630 - The fix correctly stops closing never-before-seen orphan cards (round-1 destructive bug is resolved), but it still isn't full parity with jq's missing_entries: jq only takes the wake branch when $tsv_existed == "true" AND $old_by_task[$tid] == null (bin/fm-helm-lib.sh:770); when the identity cache never existed before this run ($tsv_existed false, e.g. the very first sync of a brand-new board), jq closes the orphan card unconditionally regardless of old_by_task. Python's SyncState has no field equivalent to tsv_existed (model.py:301-310), so task not in state.cards cannot distinguish 'cache exists but never saw this task' from 'cache never existed at all' -- every orphan card on a board's first-ever sync now wakes intake instead of closing, diverging from jq. This is narrow (only the literal first invocation for a board, with a pre-existing orphan draft already on it) and safe-direction (wakes instead of silently closing), but it is a real, source-verifiable parity gap the intent's re-verification goal is meant to catch. The honest fix requires adding a durable tsv_existed-equivalent flag to SyncState (a schema/state extension), so this needs the author's decision rather than a mechanical patch.
• ⚠️ docs/1.architecture/3.helm-sync-python.md:40 - This line still says the planner 'does not yet raise jq's separate "captain added a card with no backlog task, run intake" wake', but this fix commit implements exactly that wake via WakeMissingCard (planner.py:642-655). The doc was not updated in this round and now misdescribes already-implemented behavior to anyone using it to judge cutover readiness.

🔧 Fix: fix(helm): close orphan cards on first-ever sync, not wake
1 warning still open:

• ⚠️ docs/1.architecture/3.helm-sync-python.md:39 - This finding was selected as user_chose_to_fix in the previous round but the doc file has zero diff in this round's commit (55e8487). Line 39 still says the planner 'does not yet raise jq's separate captain-added-card wake', but WakeMissingCard (planner.py:637-655) has implemented exactly that wake since the prior commit (27ce559). The doc misdescribes already-shipped behavior to anyone judging cutover readiness against the stated intent.

🔧 Fix: docs(helm): fix stale note on implemented intake wake
2 warnings still open:

• ⚠️ python/helm_sync/planner.py:625 - _missing_phase_actions has no equivalent of jq's missing_entries guard if ($records | length) == 0 then [] else ... (bin/fm-helm-lib.sh:761). jq refuses to touch any board card when the full desired/backlog record set is empty, specifically to avoid mass-closing or mass-waking every card on the board if the backlog fetch failed or returned nothing. The Python port has no such guard: if desired_by_task comes back empty for a board (e.g. an upstream backlog-fetch failure once this planner is wired into the real sync), every non-Done card on that board is treated as an orphan and gets CloseMissingCard (Status->Done) or WakeMissingCard, silently and incorrectly reconciling the whole board instead of doing nothing. This is the same class of destructive-fallback bug flagged and fixed in round 1 (missing-phase-closes-never-before-seen-card), just triggered by a different precondition (empty records vs. never-seen task) that the fix rounds did not add a guard for. The smallest honest remedy is mechanical: short-circuit _missing_phase_actions (e.g. if not desired_by_task: return [], threaded from the pre-board-filter desired set to match jq's global $records check) — no new state or schema is needed.
• ⚠️ docs/2.api/3.helm-sync-python.md:343 - This file still says 'It does not yet raise the separate jq intake wake for a captain-created card with no matching task' and its type list/entries (lines 166-183, 341) omit WakeMissingCard entirely, even though WakeMissingCard (planner.py:637-655) has implemented exactly that wake since commit 27ce559. Round 3's fix (b061c71) corrected the identical stale claim in the sibling doc docs/1.architecture/3.helm-sync-python.md but did not touch this API doc, so the same misdescription of already-shipped behavior persists here.
