feat(infra): provision the poller identity
Stage 2 writes the first label, and nothing about the label protocol can be
dogfooded until an identity exists that is allowed to. Provisioned now rather
than deferred.

  account   tireless-poller (tireless-poller@lair.cafe), no ssh key — it never
            clones anything
  team      lair/tireless-poller: Issues=write, PullRequests=read, Code=none,
            everything else none, scoped to named repos
  token     write:issue, read:repository, read:user

This is the one place an org team earns its keep. Collaborator permissions in
Gitea are repo-wide, so granting issue write that way would hand this account
code push too — the unit-level team grants labelling without it.

The units now load different environment files, and that is not tidiness. The
runner spawns coding agents as subprocesses, and subprocesses inherit the
environment, so a label-capable token in the runner's environment is a token
every agent run can read. poller.env is loaded only by tireless-poller.service,
which spawns nothing.

Be precise about what that buys: the separation is between processes, not users.
Both units run as `tireless`, so the runner's uid can still read poller.env even
though its process never loads it. An agent would have to go looking rather than
find it handed over in `env` — a real difference, not a boundary. Closing it
means separate service accounts or LoadCredential=; recorded as a stage 8 item so
it is a known gap rather than an assumed guarantee.

Verified each identity can do its own job and not the other's:

              tireless   tireless-poller
  add label      403          200
  fork repo      works        403
  read issues    200          200

One measurement caveat recorded in §6.4: the poller can still read repository
contents despite Code=none, because lair/tireless is public. The unit permission
bites on private repos — do not read that as the grant being wrong.
