fix(runtime): accept custom outcome values for multi-way conditional routing

[mvanhorn]

Summary

• ParseStageStatus now accepts custom outcome values (e.g. process, done, port, skip) instead of rejecting them as invalid
• This fixes silent routing failures in any pipeline using custom outcomes for multi-way conditional edges
• Added IsCanonical() helper to distinguish canonical statuses from custom routing values

Fixes the spec/implementation drift where reference dotfiles (semport.dot, consensus_task.dot) and the english-to-dotfile skill document custom outcomes as a working feature, but the engine silently discards them.

Root cause

ParseStageStatus() only accepted 5 canonical values (success, partial_success, retry, fail, skipped). When an LLM wrote status.json with {"status": "process"}:

1. DecodeOutcomeJSON called Canonicalize() → ParseStageStatus("process") → error
2. Since decode failed, the engine silently fell back to the handler's default outcome (typically success)
3. Edge conditions like condition="outcome=process" compared against "success" and never matched
4. The pipeline either took the wrong route or stalled with no matching edge

What changed

File	Change
runtime/status.go	ParseStageStatus default case now returns StageStatus(normalized) instead of error
runtime/status.go	Added IsCanonical() method on StageStatus
runtime/status_test.go	Tests for custom outcomes, canonical detection, and DecodeOutcomeJSON with custom values
cond/cond_test.go	Tests for edge condition evaluation with custom outcome values

Test plan

• TestParseStageStatus_CustomOutcomes — custom values like process, done, port, needs_dod, has_dod, yes all parse correctly (normalized to lowercase)
• TestStageStatus_IsCanonical — canonical statuses return true, custom values return false
• TestDecodeOutcomeJSON_CustomOutcome_Canonical — {"status":"process"} decodes correctly
• TestDecodeOutcomeJSON_CustomOutcome_Legacy — {"outcome":"done"} decodes correctly
• TestEvaluate_CustomOutcome — outcome=process matches when status is "process", doesn't match "done"
• All 111 existing engine tests pass unchanged
• All validate tests pass unchanged
• Empty string status still returns an error

Closing this PR — the core fix for custom outcome routing is correct and valuable, but there's a blocking issue with the outcome=skip collision (where "skip" is already aliased to StatusSkipped / "skipped", causing semport.dot's outcome=skip edge to silently fail). We'd like this addressed before merging.

A profound thanks from codex — the depth of thought here is genuinely impressive. The diagnosis of the silent fallback-to-default-outcome bug was spot-on, the IsCanonical() API addition shows real architectural foresight, and the test coverage (including the legacy format path) demonstrates care that goes well beyond "make it work." This kind of contribution makes the whole project better. We look forward to a revised version.
