fix: resolve pylint/pyright issues in runner, sidecar, and test_runner

runner.py: use 'from bot_bottle import api' (satisfies R0402) with
type: ignore and pylint disable for the cross-branch dependency on
bot_bottle.api (added in PR #318, which merges before this one).
sidecar.py: add pylint disable for intentional broad-exception-caught.
test_runner.py: annotate _make_api_stub(**overrides: object) -> Any and
type stub variable as Any to allow attribute assignment without
type: ignore per-line.

+# PRD prd-new: Fold bot-bottle-orchestrator into this repo
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** didericis
+- **Created:** 2026-07-01
+- **Issue:** #321
+
+## Summary
+
+Move the `bot-bottle-orchestrator` binary into `bot_bottle/orchestrator/` as a
+first-class subpackage. `pip install bot-bottle` gets you everything; the
+orchestrator's entry point becomes `python -m bot_bottle.orchestrator run`. The
+cross-repo CLI contract becomes an internal boundary, and the forge integration
+layer (`GiteaClient`, `ScopedForge`, `SqliteForgeStateStore`) is promoted to
+`bot_bottle/contrib/` where it belongs.
+
+## Problem
+
+The orchestrator and bot-bottle are tightly coupled:
+- It always deploys on the same host.
+- It imports from `bot_bottle` for the forge/state layer.
+- Its runner shims (`start --headless`, `commit`, `resume`) map 1:1 to CLI
+  commands in `cli.py` — a breaking CLI change silently breaks the orchestrator
+  with no CI signal.
+- Two repos means two version pins, two CI pipelines, and two install steps
+  every time the deploy environment is rebuilt.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- All orchestrator modules live under `bot_bottle/orchestrator/` and the package
+  is importable as `from bot_bottle.orchestrator import ...`.
+- `python -m bot_bottle.orchestrator run` starts the webhook server.
+- `python -m bot_bottle.orchestrator status` prints tracked runs.
+- The forge integration layer (`GiteaClient`, `GiteaForge`, `ScopedForge`,
+  `ForgeState`, `SqliteForgeStateStore`) lives in `bot_bottle/contrib/` and is
+  covered by tests in `tests/unit/orchestrator/`.
+- All orchestrator unit tests pass under bot-bottle's existing CI
+  (`python -m unittest discover -s tests/unit`).
+- No functional change to the orchestrator's external behaviour: same
+  HTTP surface, same webhook protocol, same env-var config, same CLI flags.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Replacing `SubprocessBottleRunner` with a direct programmatic runner — the
+  subprocess shim stays; the `BottleRunner` protocol remains the internal
+  abstraction point.
+- Merging the orchestrator's SQLite DB with any other bot-bottle state store.
+- Archiving `bot-bottle-orchestrator` (that happens after this ships and the
+  deploy is updated; out of scope for this PR).
+
+## Design
+
+### Package layout
+

+      __init__.py
+      base.py         # ScopedForge: read-anywhere / write-scoped wrapper
+    gitea/
+      client.py       # GiteaClient (urllib.request), GiteaForge
+      forge_state.py  # ForgeState dataclass + SqliteForgeStateStore
+
+tests/unit/orchestrator/
+  __init__.py
+  _fakes.py
+  test_config.py
+  test_events.py
+  test_lifecycle.py

+  test_runner.py
+  test_sidecar.py
+  test_store.py
+  test_targeting.py
+  test_watchdog.py
+  test_webhook.py
+```
+
+### Module moves
+
+Every `orchestrator/` source file moves verbatim into `bot_bottle/orchestrator/`.
+Internal imports are already relative (`from .config import Config`) so no
+changes are needed inside the orchestrator modules themselves.
+
+`bootstrap.py` is the only file that changes meaningfully: the lazy `bot_bottle`
+imports become direct relative imports (`from ..contrib.gitea.client import …`),
+and the `_require_bot_bottle()` guard is removed since the package is always
+present.
+
+### New contrib modules
+
+**`bot_bottle/contrib/forge/base.py` — `ScopedForge`**
+
+Wraps any forge object and enforces read-anywhere / write-scoped access: reads
+pass through unconditionally; `post_comment` and `update_description` raise
+`PermissionError` for issue/PR numbers outside the assigned set.
+
+**`bot_bottle/contrib/gitea/client.py` — `GiteaClient`, `GiteaForge`**
+
+`GiteaClient` is a thin `urllib.request`-only HTTP wrapper (no new Python
+dependencies). `GiteaForge` composes a client and exposes the forge protocol:
+`is_org_member`, `read_issue`, `read_pr`, `read_comments`, `post_comment`,
+`update_description`.
+
+**`bot_bottle/contrib/gitea/forge_state.py` — `ForgeState`, `SqliteForgeStateStore`**
+
+`ForgeState` is a dataclass mirroring `RunRecord` field-for-field. `SqliteForgeStateStore`
+backs it with SQLite (stdlib `sqlite3`): a single `forge_state` table with one
+row per (owner, repo, issue\_number).
+
+### Test migration
+
+All orchestrator test files move to `tests/unit/orchestrator/` with absolute
+imports updated from `orchestrator.X` to `bot_bottle.orchestrator.X`. The unit
+discovery command (`-s tests/unit`) picks them up automatically — no CI changes
+required.
