Completes the run-critic seam so a host adapter (mort's agentcritic) has full
fidelity, closing the two limitations gadfly surfaced on mort #1334.
- RecordStep(iter int, resp *llm.Response): the completed step's model response
is now passed to the critic (was index-only), so a host that records a trace
(mort's ProgressRecorder) can show what the agent actually produced, not just
an iteration count. The executor forwards s.Response; the battery ignores it
(its Progress is count-based).
- CriticHandle.KillCause() error + ErrCriticKill: the executor now distinguishes
an explicit critic KILL from a natural backstop expiry. runCtx uses a
cause-carrying cancel (WithCancelCause + a MaxRuntime timer cancelling with
DeadlineExceeded); the deadline-watch cancels with ErrCriticKill when
KillCause()!=nil, else DeadlineExceeded. statusFor reads context.Cause →
killed / timeout / cancelled are now distinct (were all "cancelled"). The
battery sets killCause from Decision.KillReason on a Kill.
Tests: statusFor "killed" case (cause=ErrCriticKill, err=Canceled); fake handle
+ battery RecordStep/KillCause signatures. Core stays battery-free.

Prerequisite for a full-fidelity mort agentcritic adapter (which adjusts a
healthy-but-long run's iteration budget, not just its deadline). executus's
CriticHandle was deadline+steer only; this adds the dynamic step ceiling above
an unchanged majordomo (which already exposes WithMaxStepsFunc).
- run.RunInfo += MaxIterations (the run's base ceiling, so a critic can raise it
relative to the baseline).
- run.CriticHandle += MaxSteps() int — polled by the executor each step via
agent.WithMaxStepsFunc; <=0 defers to the base. The executor uses
WithMaxStepsFunc(critic.MaxSteps) when a critic is active, else WithMaxSteps.
- critic battery: handle.maxSteps (initialised from RunInfo.MaxIterations) +
MaxSteps(); Decision gains RaiseStepsBy so an Escalator can raise the ceiling
alongside ExtendBy. ExtendOnce default is unchanged (time-only).
Test: a critic returning MaxSteps=5 lets a base-MaxIterations=1 run complete two
tool-dispatch steps past the base ceiling. Core stays battery-free (run doesn't
import critic).

From PR #9 (minimax + deepseek):
- Run now has a top-level recover() — the "never propagates a panic" promise was
unenforced; a panicking host Port (Critic/Audit/Palette) on the run goroutine
now becomes Result.Err instead of unwinding into the caller.
- The critic deadline-watch goroutine recovers panics from a host Deadline()
(it's a separate goroutine, so Run's recover can't catch it) — a buggy
CriticHandle can't crash the process.
- CriticHandle interface documents its concurrency contract (Record*/Steer on the
run goroutine vs Deadline()/Stop() from the watch goroutine — impls must be
concurrent-safe; the critic battery already is).
- startCritic's dead `soft <= 0 -> noop` guard (withFallbacks already coerces to
90s) replaced with a defensive inline 90s default, so a bypass of withFallbacks
still gets a working critic instead of silently none.
- Delivery tests made honest: the old "error path" test only checked the
early-return (no delivery); added TestDeliverErrorOnRunFailure (in-loop model
error -> DeliverError to the target) + renamed the early-return test.
Graded all #9 findings in the gadfly MCP.

Add run/ports.go: the host seams the executor will consume, every one
nil-safe so a light host runs with the zero Ports (no persistence/audit/
budget/critic/delegation/delivery) and a heavy host wires each to a battery.
Ports mirror mort's existing interfaces so the batteries implement them
directly:
- Audit + RunRecorder (mort skillaudit.Storage/Writer): StartRun -> per-run
recorder (OnStep/OnTool/LogEvent/Close), recorder satisfies RunTally.
- Budget (mort skillexec.BudgetTracker): Check / Commit.
- Critic + CriticHandle (mort agentcritic): Monitor -> handle with
RecordStep/RecordToolStart/Steer/Deadline/Stop (the loop wiring finalizes
with the executor merge).
- Checkpointer (mort agentexec.RunCheckpointer): Save/Complete/Fail.
- PaletteSource (mort SkillInvokerForPalette + AgentInvokerForPalette):
Resolve/Invoke skill + agent delegation.
Plus host-neutral RunInfo / RunStats.
This completes the P2 inversion DESIGN; the agentexec+skillexec ->
run.Executor merge that consumes these Ports is the remaining P2 work.
