Vance IngallsandClaude Fable 5 2542e94277 fix(cli): stale-cache arm reads, retry double-count, and unwritable-config re-arm in DE trial
Three root causes from a fourth max-effort review (15 raw findings deduped;
the synthesize step died on a session limit so they arrived unmerged):

1. The previous commit's telemetryEnabled fix was ineffective: the arm site
   passed readConfig() — the process-lifetime cache — into
   isDeParallelRouterTrialBlocked, making it exactly as stale as the
   shouldTrack() memoization it claimed to bypass. A mid-batch
   `hyperframes telemetry off` (or another process persisting fired=true)
   was never observed. Now reads readConfigFresh() at the arm site; the
   test mock previously hid this because readConfig/readConfigFresh were
   behaviorally identical views over one shared object.

2. The verify-and-retry write loop double-counted a render whenever OUR
   write landed but a concurrent writer advanced the file before our
   verify read — the retry re-applied the increment on top (two renders
   → three counts), tripping the 25-render exposure cap early and
   permanently killing the trial with less telemetry than the cap was
   designed to allow. Reworked: the render COUNTER is written exactly
   once, unverified (a lost increment under-counts by one — benign); only
   the FIRED flag is verified and re-asserted, which is idempotent, so
   retries can no longer corrupt anything
   (persistDeParallelRouterTrialFired).

3. writeConfig swallows all fs errors, so on an unwritable ~/.hyperframes
   a reverted outcome could never persist — the trial would re-arm and
   re-fail on every subsequent render forever, silently. Added an
   in-process fired latch (set at decision time, before persistence is
   attempted) consulted by the blocked-check, plus a one-time console
   warning when persistence exhausts its attempts. Later processes still
   re-arm (disk is the only cross-process channel), but each process now
   stops after at most one failure it couldn't record.

Test infrastructure fix enabling all of the above to be tested: the config
mock now models disk vs cache SEPARATELY (readConfig serves the cache,
readConfigFresh re-reads "disk", writeConfig updates both) with a
failWrites hook simulating the real writeConfig's silent error swallowing.
The old single-shared-object mock made cached-vs-fresh mis-routing and
retry iterations untestable by construction.

3 new regression tests: mid-batch opt-out observed through the cache;
fired flag re-asserted after a lost write WITHOUT re-counting the render;
unwritable-config latch blocking re-arm. 56 tests total across
render.test.ts + config.test.ts.

Not fixed (by design): the widened pinned-fallback retry paying a doubled
render on deterministic mid-stream failures (e.g. ENOSPC) — the accepted
tradeoff of the fallback design; cancellation and OOM are special-cased.
