Qualify autonomy per workflow #151

Description

@yihanzhu

Problem

ystack says autonomy is earned in stages, but it does not yet say what exactly earns authority or what a stage must return. That can let trust drift from one task, model, or environment to another, and it can make a useful no-code investigation look like failure.

Outcome

Make one bounded roadmap amendment:

  • authority belongs to a recorded workflow scope, never to an agent in general;
  • each execution environment qualifies separately;
  • policy records which changes invalidate qualification and which gate runs again;
  • each stage attempt has an explicit status, and executed work has an evidence-backed result;
  • verification evidence stays typed and bound to the relevant identities;
  • portable core carries result, evidence, and qualification references, while later initiatives own policy and enforcement;
  • the first shadow workflow is narrow and read-only when practical, with incident reproduction as the preferred case.

Constraints

  • Do not enable autonomous writes.
  • Do not change the human-merge or read-only-reviewer rails.
  • Keep the core harness-, model-, forge-, and CI-neutral.
  • Do not add the separate verification-pack, eval-protocol, skill-lifecycle, metrics, model-policy, or audience-interface work to this PR.
  • Change ROADMAP.md and only the README rollout sentence needed to keep the
    public summary in sync.
