a surface can ask Nexus for the id behind a name (V-511)

blocked_on stores a canonical entity id, so the form that fills it needs a way
to turn "Kate" into one. ipc.ResolveEntity is that seam: the store adapter
refuses it, because identity is not the store's to answer, and the daemon
overrides it with the Nexus client the voice path already holds.

Three outcomes are kept apart, because a caller deciding whether to store an
id has to tell them apart. No nexus block is ErrNotImplemented. A miss is
ErrNoEntity. Several matches come back Ambiguous with the names, and the
caller asks — picking one is how a task ends up blocked on the wrong person
with nobody able to see it happened.

An outage stays the transport error. "There is no such person" and "Nexus is
down" must not read the same.
