The state machine's `Stage` enum becomes the source of truth for pipeline
state. Six stages of work land together:
1. Clean wire vocabulary (`coding`, `merge`, `merge_failure`, ...) replaces
legacy directory-style strings (`2_current`, `4_merge`, ...) on the wire.
`Stage::from_dir` accepted both during deployment; new writes always
emit the clean form via `stage_dir_name`. Lexicographic `dir >= "5_done"`
checks in lifecycle.rs become typed `matches!` checks since the new
vocabulary doesn't sort in pipeline order.
2. `crdt_state::write_item` takes typed `&Stage`, serialising via
`stage_dir_name` at the CRDT boundary. `#[cfg(test)] write_item_str`
parses legacy strings for test fixtures.
3. `WorkItem::stage()` returns typed `crdt_state::Stage`; `stage_str()`
is gone from the public API. Projection dispatches on the typed enum.
4. `frozen` becomes an orthogonal CRDT register. `Stage::Frozen` and
`PipelineEvent::Freeze`/`Unfreeze` are removed; `transition_to_frozen`/
`unfrozen` set the flag directly without touching the stage register.
5. Watcher sweep and `tool_update_story`'s `blocked` setter route through
`apply_transition` so the typed transition table validates every
stage change. `update_story` gains a `frozen` field for symmetry.
6. One-shot startup migration rewrites pre-934 directory-style stage
registers (and sets `frozen=true` on items previously at `7_frozen`).
`Stage::from_dir` drops legacy aliases. The db boundary keeps a small
normaliser so callers with legacy strings (MCP, tests) still work.

Root cause was not the persist channel (the test-mode channel is unbounded
and its receiver is leaked, so sends never fail). It was that `ALL_OPS` and
`VECTOR_CLOCK` were process-wide `OnceLock` globals while `CRDT_STATE` was
already thread-local — so one test thread's `apply_compaction` would prune
another test thread's freshly-written ops out of the shared journal, and
the subsequent `all_ops_json()` read in `compaction_reduces_ops` would
return fewer than the 5 it had just written.
Mirror the pattern already used for `CRDT_STATE` and `SnapshotState`: in
`cfg(test)` use thread-local `OnceLock<Mutex<...>>`s for the op journal and
vector clock, accessed via new `all_ops_lock()` / `vector_clock_lock()`
helpers. Production code path is unchanged (still the global statics set
during `init()`).
Touches ops/read/snapshot call sites to go through the helpers. Note in
passing that this overlaps backlog story 518; that story is about the
production-side persist path, this is the cfg(test)-only journal-isolation
slice.
