CoalHearth v2.8.3 - the three journal reads now ask the folder pin before they read

[github-actions[bot]]

The three journal reads now ask the folder pin before they read.

The plugin dist changes in lib/handoff-journal.js, lib/resume-engine.js and the version string; the new test file is the room's own tooling.

Security

• A link swapped in at the journal folder no longer feeds the SessionStart block (shipped: lib/handoff-journal.js, lib/resume-engine.js). Every write and delete under <project root>/.claude/coalhearth/ has asked the folder's pin since 2.8.1 and 2.8.2, but the journal's three reads did not: HandoffJournal.load, HandoffJournal._loadOrQuarantine and ResumeEngine.detectAbortedSession read with the folder itself as the containment root, so a folder swapped for a link after the hook built the journal made that root the link's target, and the file behind the link was read. detectAbortedSession hands what it reads to the block the SessionStart hook prints into the model's context. Each of the three now asks the pin first; a refused read returns nothing, keeps the caller's state, and quarantines or marks nothing. Not covered: the instant between the pin answer and the open of the file, the same window the writes name. — test: lib/read-pin.test.js
