🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win
Add tests for the productive head-change exception.
This branch permits a different key only when produced_work is True and the workflow attempt matches. The added tests cover stale unproductive and unmeasured completions, but not this exception. Add cases that accept a productive new head from the owning attempt and reject the same input from a different attempt.
As per path instructions, "**/*.py: Prioritize correctness, error handling, and test coverage. Flag new or changed behavior with no accompanying test."

Pull request overview
This PR hardens shared runner state against stale workflow completions and preserves bounded retry behavior.
Changes:
- Adds workflow-attempt fencing and stale-completion reporting.
- Preserves unproductive retry state across unmeasured completions.
- Adds regression tests and documents the updated contract.
A critical issue remains: the fallback storage path can bypass the authoritative reservation fence during primary-store outages.
