Resident supervisor exits on incomplete-apply catalog instead of degrading: publish_owner_binding treats the marker as fatal

[schickling-assistant]

Problem

With a catalog-apply-incomplete marker present, st2 up --once correctly refuses, but the resident supervisor exits immediately instead of continuing on the state plane:

Error: publish machine-local stream owner binding
Caused by: catalog apply is incomplete: marker present at ...

up_loop_until runs publish_owner_binding before the first reconcile and propagates its error with ?, so an advisory/incomplete-apply condition kills the supervisor process. The integration test agent_publish::incomplete_apply_marker_blocks_declarations_but_not_the_state_plane asserts the resident keeps running and therefore fails on current main.

Expected

Declarations stay blocked while the marker is present, but the resident supervisor stays up (state plane continues), like every other reconcile-pass failure.

Evidence

• Fails identically at base commit e282a7e (pre-dating the watch-boundary stack fix(run): bound catalog watches to declaration space #333).
• Manual repro: temp catalog with agent declaration plus .st2/catalog-apply-incomplete; st2 up --interval 1 exits within 100 ms with the error above.

Notes

Found while verifying #333; not caused by that stack.
