Recover priority and size updates when a newly linked Project item is missing from the board listing, using bounded, verified reads. This keeps completed linking intact while preserving truthful failures when provider evidence is unavailable or unsafe.

What changed

• Check the exact issue or pull request’s Project memberships, up to 200 items, when a complete board lookup reports the item missing.
• Read a known item’s field directly when it is absent from the listing; verify its identity, type, Project, and field evidence before updating.
• Keep matching field values unchanged on replay and retain successful linking when enrichment fails.
• Document the recovery limits, failure behavior, and operator guidance; update the lifecycle specification catalog.

Validation

• Focused 76 cases passed; 22 new cases cover recovery and negative controls.
• Full coverage and normal repository hooks passed: 604 suites, 8,582 passed, 35 skipped.
• Typecheck, build, lint, documentation, specification, and generated bundle checks passed.

Review notes

• Live acceptance remains to be observed through this PR and subsequent managed work: verify Project, priority, and size fields, then replay and confirm there is no duplicate membership or Status reset.

Closes #486
