fix(issue-57): review nits - a damaged audit sequence or an unresolvable log root never aborts the check

_check_disk_fallback converted transition_seq outside its try, so a
status.json whose sequence is not an integer would raise out of the
subscriber's main loop; such a status is now ignored with a warning, like a
stale one. delegate_started_recorded returned 1 before looking at the
registry's events.log when the audit-log root could not be resolved; it now
skips only the audit check.
