Add evidence housekeeping for Guardian v3 (#59671)

## What changed

Add a `Housekeeper` that uses an isolated reviewer runtime to route captured original evidence into topic channels and update their discovery descriptions. Keep originals intact and batch inputs within the selected model's tool-output budget.

Validate routing responses before writing to the message board. Advance the evidence cursor only after all writes succeed, stop the worker after an error, and return the runtime disposition so callers can manage session reuse.

## Testing

Add integration coverage for routing originals to multiple channels, updating descriptions, preserving capture boundaries, batching within the input budget, and leaving the cursor unchanged on write failure.
