feat(manifest)!: enforce cwd-manifest trust boundary (PRD 0011)

Splits `Manifest.resolve` into a two-phase load:

1. $HOME/claude-bottle.json parses under the full schema as today.
   This file owns bottle infrastructure (cred_proxy.routes, git,
   env, egress).
2. $CWD/claude-bottle.json parses under the new CwdExtension schema
   — agents-only. Any `bottles:` section dies at parse with a
   pointer at the home file. Each cwd agent's `bottle:` must
   resolve against a home-defined bottle name.

When CWD == HOME (running from $HOME directly) the resolver
short-circuits to home-only — no false trust-boundary error from
parsing the same file twice.

Closes the exfil vector documented in PRD 0011: a cloned repo's
claude-bottle.json can no longer redefine cred-proxy routes, and
therefore can't redirect $CLAUDE_BOTTLE_OAUTH_TOKEN /
$GITHUB_TOKEN / etc. to an attacker-named upstream on first
launch.

Preflight surfaces the boundary positively: print() shows
`bottle: <name>  (from $HOME/claude-bottle.json)`, and to_dict
emits `"bottle_source": "home"`. README + the existing dry-run
integration test pick that up.

BREAKING: existing cwd manifests that define bottles now fail.
The error message names the file path, the offending field, and
the fix ("move bottles section to $HOME/claude-bottle.json").

Tests:
- tests/unit/test_manifest_trust_boundary.py — 10 cases covering
  PRD 0011's success criteria (bottles rejected, agents allowed,
  cwd overrides agent fields, no silent fallback, home-only
  unchanged, etc.).
- tests/integration/test_dry_run_plan.py picks up the
  bottle_source assertion.

+  + identity files), `env` (literal/interpolated values), `egress`
+  (pipelock's allowlist + DLP action). This is your trusted file.
+- **`$CWD/claude-bottle.json`** *(optional)* — declares *agents*
+  that reference home-defined bottles. Useful for shipping a
+  repo-specific prompt or skill list with a project. A cwd manifest
+  that tries to define `bottles:` dies at parse with a pointer at
+  this rule.
+
+The boundary is intentional: a cloned repo's `claude-bottle.json`
+cannot redirect your `CLAUDE_BOTTLE_OAUTH_TOKEN` / `GITHUB_TOKEN`
+to an attacker-named upstream, because it cannot define
+infrastructure — only your home file can, and it lives on your
