Subject: [PATCH] fix(agent): silence verification-stop loop status line
 (#53223)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The verify-on-stop guard (#52296) printed '↻ Verification required before
finishing' to the terminal on every internal nudge turn, adding noise to
CLI/gateway sessions whenever code was edited without fresh passing checks.
Demote the user-facing status emit to a logger.debug breadcrumb — the loop
still nudges the model to verify before finishing, just silently.
