This PR fixes that. -The local `~/AgentWorkforce/review-swarm-loop.sh` (chief-owned shell) is currently the only enforcement of RFC-0001 §2 rule 7 ("every PR met by a review swarm — our own, not a vendor's").

Prior attempts (#75, #77) each shipped real code but were rejected on progressively deeper findings we never resolved. +1. **Fail-closed on journal errors.** #83's `catch (err) { onPollError(err) }` swallowed EVERY error including `eventSubmit` journal failures — violates covenant 2 (fail-closed) and RFC-0001 §1. Only fetch-level errors (network flakiness, HN API rate limits) may be swallowed; a journal write failure MUST throw and terminate the runner. Split: `try { fetch } catch { onFetchError }` around the network call, `try { eventSubmit } catch { rethrow }` around the journal call. -## Current state +2. **AgentWorker.close() must release the worker (or explicitly document it does not).** #83 added `await worker.close()` to shutdown but the current `close()` only drains local promises — it does NOT tell the kernel to release the worker registration.
