TASK: harness native SMS notifier — [notify] (alpha wiring, Redmine 522)

Context

Charles (2026-08-29): "wire the sms ping into the go harness for alpha." He watches Redmine/Gitea/SMS today. The bash bridge (loop-sms-watch.sh) covers the interim; THIS replaces it natively. Runs AFTER the bootstrap turn (gated) — build on the containerized loop.

Scope

1. [notify] harness.toml section:
   • smtp_host / smtp_user_ref / smtp_pass_ref / from (key refs: env: or mpk: — keyproxy-ready per #497), rcpt = 8182807059@tmomail.net (config, not hardcoded), min_severity (info|ok|warn).
   • enabled=false default; absent section = zero behavior change.
2. Go notifier (stdlib net/smtp, STARTTLS; AUTH PLAIN/LOGIN):
   • Events: turn complete (task id + title), turn failed (error class), quota wall deferral, loop scan error, daemon start/stop.
   • Message format mirrors ping-charles.sh: [SEV MM-DD HH:MM MOPAC] ...
   • Rate limit: max N per window (config, default 20/hour) — never SMS-flood; identical consecutive failures collapse with a counter.
   • Send failures: log + queue in state (retry next event), never block the loop; never include credential material (redaction rules).
3. Tests: fake SMTP server (table-driven): auth, STARTTLS skip option, event mapping, rate-limit collapse, queue+retry.
4. Wire the alpha container config (notify enabled once Charles drops SMTP creds in the env-file tonight); document in runbook.
