GodopuandClaude Fable 5.1 0550320590 fix(issue-18): bind the heartbeat timer to the agent process; scope started to the attempt; ignore re-sent finished dispatches
Review round 1 (claude NOT PASS) corrections:
- B2: the timer now watches a process - `--watch-pid`, or by default the
  nearest agent-CLI ancestor of the publishing command - and stops within
  one period once it is gone, so a crashed agent stops heartbeating and is
  closed after K x N; a remote runner watches itself. Documented as process
  liveness (an alive-but-stuck agent keeps heartbeating).
- R1: `_wait_started` accepts an events.log `started` only when it carries
  the current dispatch token (loop jobs share one events.log).
- R2: the remote runner ignores a re-sent dispatch of an attempt that
  already reached its terminal.
- R3: registry.md EOF blank line (git diff --check clean).
- R4: the ack error states the effective budget when the wall clock cut it.
- P3: stop_timer verifies the pidfile pid is this job's timer before
  signalling; a retained state message keeps its own seq watermark so it
  can never make the monotonic guard drop its own event.
- MULTI_AGENT_RULES.md timeout section updated for the contract.
- tests: agent-process death stops the timer, recycled-pid safety,
  attempt-scoped started, re-sent dispatch; acceptance 3 now kills the
  agent process instead of the timer. Help captures refreshed
  (--watch-pid). The wrapper can be sourced with
  MAM_DELEGATE_JOB_NO_MAIN=1 for helper-level tests.

"""remote.py — deliver a job to an agent on another host over the broker (Issue #18).
The herdr transport injects the prompt into a pane on this machine and reads
the agent's `started`/`progress`/`completed` events back over the broker. A
remote agent shares neither the pane nor the orchestrator's disk, so the
prompt itself has to travel over the wire too:
orchestrator --retained `<topic_prefix>/dispatch`--> remote runner
remote runner --`<topic_prefix>/events` + `/state`--> orchestrator's subscriber
`publish_dispatch` (wrapper side) publishes one retained dispatch message
carrying the brief, the job's auth_token / dispatch_token / attempt_id and the
liveness contract (heartbeat N, misses K, ack T). `run_runner` (remote side)
subscribes for its session name, mirrors the job into its own registry,
publishes `started` with the automatic heartbeat, runs the agent command, and
publishes the terminal event. Every event it publishes is signed with the
job's auth_token and carries the orchestrator's dispatch identity, so the
orchestrator's unchanged subscriber accepts it; the subscriber's `--remote`
mode mirrors those events into the orchestrator's registry.
Trust: a dispatch makes a runner execute a command, so it is signed with a
pre-shared secret (`MAM_DISPATCH_SECRET`, from each host's own .mam.env) and a
runner ignores anything unsigned or mis-signed. The auth_token travels inside
that signed message; use this only on a private broker (see MESSAGING.md).
