kshitijk4poor 52cafa6f8e follow-up: integrate agent nudge + dispatcher retry docs and tests
- Nudge text now warns that repeated protocol violations will block the
  task and require manual intervention, so the model understands the
  consequence of ignoring the nudge.
- Kanban docs restructured to clearly separate the two defense layers:
  agent-side prevention (nudge, from #64350) and dispatcher-side
  recovery (bounded retry, from this PR).
- Two new integration tests verifying the nudge mentions blocking and
  that the agent-side and dispatcher-side budgets are independent.

# without a terminal call, the dispatcher's bounded retry (streak of 3)
# handles it. See also tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_core_functionality.py
