Security Fix

TransitionTo (#160) treats a same-status transition as silent success, which removed accept()'s rejection of re-accepting an already-accepted idea. A second repo owner with a still-pending offer could accept again and overwrite TargetRepo, hijacking the credited issue target.

This guards accept()'s mutate closure explicitly against already-accepted ideas (restoring pre-#160 behavior) and adds a regression test: idea offered to two repos, first accept succeeds, second accept must 400 and leave TargetRepo and the second offer untouched.

Closes #171

TransitionTo (introduced in #160) treats a same-status transition as a
silent no-op, but accept() previously relied on
CanTransition(accepted, accepted) == false to reject a second accept.
With an idea offered to two repos, the second repo owner's decide=accept
passed the pending-offer guard, silently succeeded, and overwrote
TargetRepo — hijacking the idea and its credited issue target.

Guard accept()'s mutate closure explicitly against already-accepted
ideas and add a regression test covering the two-repo hijack.
