kami 0bd86e28c6 Tell the agent the artifact shape, and tell it when the shape is wrong
Two halves of the same failure, live on run 5.

F38: the phase brief named .orchestra/research.json and described its contents
in prose, never its schema. The agent guessed dead_ends as strings where the
decoder wants {tried, why_failed} objects. The brief now carries the shape, and
a test decodes each documented shape with the same function the worker uses, so
a struct change that is not mirrored fails the build.

F39: the local artifact check refused the request through recordError alone.
answerRefusedPhase only ran on a coordinator 409, so a decode failure told the
agent nothing. The session sat at a boundary rewriting nothing, which is the
silent-loop shape the comment above that block warns about, reached by the one
path with no delivery. Both local refusals now reach the agent.
