Fix category guidance for Security finding Triage

 The Base branch defaults to the Launch directory's checked-out branch. The issue must belong to that repository, have a Trusted-account author and have no title or body edits by other accounts.

+The session also receives the repository's available category labels, excluding triage states and factory markers. It must recommend one of those categories even when publication will preserve an existing category. A Security finding's `security-finding` marker is kept, and a recommendation supplies a repository category when the issue has none.

 Before the session starts, thirdshift downloads up to ten unique images from Markdown images and HTML `img` tags in the trusted body and comments. Only HTTPS URLs on `github.com` or subdomains of `githubusercontent.com` are eligible. Each download has a 30-second timeout and a 20 MiB limit; failures and excess images produce warnings and the investigation continues. Successful images are kept under `.thirdshift-issue-images/` in the throwaway worktree, with their original URLs and local paths appended to `.thirdshift-issue.md`, so the session can inspect them with `--read-machine` too.
 
 Unless `--recommend-only` is given, thirdshift reserves the issue on origin and replaces its prior triage state and `agent-failed` with an `in-progress` Claim. It posts one AI-attributed comment with the Agent Brief, investigation and questionnaire, or wontfix explanation, preserves existing category labels (adding the recommendation's category only when none exists), and replaces the Claim with the resulting state. `wontfix` closes the issue. A duplicate can also get a cross-reference comment on the other open issue. Splits into several Tickets or a Spec go to `ready-for-human` with a questionnaire proposing the split. Without readiness permission, recommended `ready-for-agent` becomes `ready-for-human` with a notice in the Agent Brief. The recommendation's issue entry and Run notification name the existing issue's URL.

       <p>A <a href="/docs/#triage-runs">Triage run</a> starts with a Report: pipe it into <code>thirdshift triage</code>, or add <code>--file report.txt</code>. It investigates read-only in a throwaway worktree and searches the repository's open issues before filing. An issue already covering the Report receives a comment quoting the Report and its source with new investigation evidence, without label changes. Otherwise, thirdshift files each separate problem as a cross-linked issue with an AI-generated disclaimer, a collapsed verbatim Report and its source, one category and one state label. thirdshift replaces recommended <code>ready-for-agent</code> with <code>needs-triage</code> unless <code>--allow-ready-for-agent</code> or the User config permits it. <code>thirdshift setup</code> asks whether Triage runs may file <code>ready-for-agent</code> issues by default; the initial answer is No, and rerunning Setup keeps the saved answer as the default. Confirmation needing credentials or production access goes to <code>ready-for-human</code> with a reason, and a <code>wontfix</code> issue is closed once filed. Use <code>--recommend-only</code> to write nothing to GitHub and name any issue it would comment on; it still makes filing's checks, so it fails wherever filing would. The investigation and every filed or commented-on issue link go to stdout and the Run notification. It starts no Ticket run and is never skipped for the Command limit.</p>
       <p>After filing completes, the final progress lines on stderr list every issue filed or commented on, one link per line. The Run notification includes the same readable list, plus the investigation, issue titles with category and state, comment target URLs and any questionnaires. It omits the full recommendation JSON and issue and comment bodies; stdout keeps the full result as one JSON object. If publication fails partway, links to completed writes still appear after the failure diagnostics and in the notification.</p>
       <p><code>thirdshift triage &lt;Issue URL or number&gt; [base &lt;branch&gt;]</code> instead updates that open issue in place. The Base branch defaults to the checked-out branch. A Trusted-account author and title/body edit history are required; the session receives the issue with only Trusted-account comments. An origin reservation spans its <code>in-progress</code> Claim and cleanup. Publication preserves existing category labels, posts one AI-attributed comment, applies the resulting triage state and closes <code>wontfix</code>. Readiness without permission becomes <code>ready-for-human</code>. Failure uses <code>ready-for-human</code> and <code>agent-failed</code>; Stop uses <code>ready-for-human</code>, or <code>needs-triage</code> with <code>--requeue</code>, without a failure label. <code>--recommend-only</code> validates without reserving or publishing. This mode cannot be combined with <code>--file</code>.</p>
+      <p>For an existing issue, the session receives available repository category labels, excluding triage states and factory markers.

The issue file lists original URLs and local paths under <code>.thirdshift-issue-images/</code>, readable with <code>--read-machine</code> too.</p>
       <p>With <code>--read-machine</code>, or the repository named in the User config's <code>triage.read_machine</code>, the session can read outside that worktree. Bubblewrap mounts the host filesystem read-only with only the worktree writable. Unix-domain sockets are refused, so a host service cannot write for the session. TCP stays available. Missing <code>bwrap</code> or unavailable Linux user namespaces fail the Triage run with a diagnostic. Without this opt-in, the ordinary launch and worktree-only prompt remain.</p>
