fix(bin): require explicit PR target and herdr fork-base check

[brchue-ux]

Intent

The developer's task was to fix bin/fm-brief.sh so that the generated direct-PR mode instructions (around the direct-PR) case block) remind a crewmate to pass the target repo explicitly (e.g. --repo /, plus --base if not already covered) to gh-axi pr create, rather than relying on gh's default remote-parent resolution — because that default had silently opened a real PR against an unrelated third-party repo under the captain's identity. The fix needed to be a single line, consistent with the project's one-owner rule, placed at the point it matters rather than restating the incident. The developer also wanted the no-mistakes mode and any other mode checked for the same direct gh pr create invocation pattern, with the same reminder added there too if found, but explicitly did not want the underlying no-mistakes init --fork-url push-target issue (tracked elsewhere in the backlog) addressed in this change. Acceptance required extending tests/fm-brief.test.sh to assert the generated direct-PR brief text contains the reminder by exercising the script's actual output rather than checking source bytes, and required no behavior change to no-mistakes-mode or local-only-mode briefs unless the same gap was found there. The change was scoped strictly to bin/fm-brief.sh and its test file.

What Changed

• Make --pr-repo/--pr-base required CLI arguments for fm-brief.sh in no-mistakes and direct-PR modes, threading the values into the scaffolded brief so it instructs gh-axi pr create --repo <owner>/<repo> --base <branch> explicitly instead of a bare gh pr create that can silently target the wrong repository.
• Add a herdr-specific fork-base reminder (FORK_BASE_NOTE) injected into the brief's Setup section for herdr tasks, telling crewmates to verify/rebase onto fork/master before starting, since herdr's clone lands at a detached HEAD tracking the third-party origin rather than the working fork.
• Extend tests/fm-brief.test.sh with new assertions for both behaviors (test_herdr_repo_bakes_in_fork_base_check, test_ship_pr_target_is_explicit), and update tests/fm-ask-user-authority.test.sh and tests/fm-tangle-guard.test.sh for the newly required flags.

Risk Assessment

⚠️ Medium: The implementation itself is internally consistent and every existing caller (tests, docs referring to fm-brief.sh's own --help as the syntax source of truth) was correctly updated for the new required --pr-repo/--pr-base flags, but the change is substantially larger and bundles an unrelated feature (herdr fork-base detached-HEAD check) beyond what the stated intent (a single-line, tightly-scoped reminder) authorized, which warrants explicit confirmation before merge even though no functional break was found.

Testing

Ran the full tests/fm-brief.test.sh suite (19/19 pass) plus the two sibling test files touched by this change, then manually exercised bin/fm-brief.sh end-to-end to capture the actual generated brief text: direct-PR mode now renders gh-axi pr create --repo <owner>/<repo> --base <branch> (no bare gh-axi), no-mistakes mode names the explicit PR target for any manual gh-axi fallback, a PR-opening mode without --pr-repo/--pr-base fails loudly before writing a brief file, and local-only mode is unaffected — all matching the user intent. Worktree left clean with no stray artifacts.

# Definition of done
This project ships **direct-PR**: you raise the PR yourself, without the no-mistakes pipeline.
The task is complete only when committed on your branch.
When it is implemented and committed, push your branch and open a PR with `gh-axi pr create --repo brchue-ux/herdr --base master` - never a bare `gh pr create`, which can silently target the wrong repository - then append `done: PR {url}` to the status file and stop.
Do NOT run /no-mistakes. The configured merge authority decides whether to merge the PR; firstmate relays the outcome.

• ⚠️ bin/fm-brief.sh:342 - The stated intent describes a single-line reminder in the direct-PR case block, scoped strictly to bin/fm-brief.sh and tests/fm-brief.test.sh. The actual commit does much more: it makes --pr-repo/--pr-base a hard-required CLI argument for both no-mistakes and direct-PR modes (bin/fm-brief.sh:342-351), which is a breaking change to every existing caller, and it also bakes in a second, unrelated feature — the herdr fork/master detached-HEAD warning (bin/fm-brief.sh:236-247, FORK_BASE_NOTE) — that is nowhere mentioned in the stated intent. It additionally touches tests/fm-ask-user-authority.test.sh and tests/fm-tangle-guard.test.sh, beyond the two files the intent named. Nothing here is wrong on its own (all call sites were updated and tests trace through consistently), but it is a materially larger and differently-scoped change than what was authorized, including a second feature bundled into the same commit — worth explicit confirmation before merge.
• ℹ️ bin/fm-brief.sh:140 - mkdir -p "$DATA/$ID" (line 140) runs before the mode-dependent --pr-repo/--pr-base requirement is checked (lines 342-351), which itself runs after resolving MODE via fm-project-mode.sh. Every other argument-validation failure (--herdr-lab/--secondmate mismatch, --no-projects misuse) exits before mkdir, so failure paths leave no filesystem trace; this new failure mode (missing --pr-repo/--pr-base for a no-mistakes or direct-PR ship brief) leaves behind an empty, orphaned data/<id>/ directory even though brief.md is never written. Low impact (a retry with correct flags succeeds fine, mkdir -p is idempotent) but inconsistent with the fail-clean behavior of the other validations.
