cpustress+orchestrator: serial CPU/RAM passes + silent-skip guard
CI / Lint + build + test (push) Successful in 1m23s
Release / release (push) Successful in 6m2s

Orion's run (log 20:49 → 20:54) shipped GREEN while silently skipping
CPUStress. Two compounding bugs:

1. CPUStress ran --cpu N AND --vm N --vm-bytes 90% concurrently.
   On a 4-core 8 GiB N95, that's 360% RAM overcommit; the OOM-killer
   fired, usually on the agent itself. Replaced with two sequential
   passes — CPU (all methods, --verify) for 3 min, then RAM (--vm 1,
   --vm-bytes capped to MemAvailable − 1.5 GiB, floor 256 MiB, --verify)
   for 3 min. Each pass now also asserts elapsed ≥ target − 2s so a
   premature clean exit counts as failure instead of a silent pass.

2. On systemd-restart after the OOM, the agent hardcoded nextStage :=
   "Inventory" and re-ran it. The orchestrator's /result handler
   advances run state via TriggerStageCompleted against the *current*
   RunState, not against body.Stage — so an Inventory result posted
   while the run was in StateCPUStress silently advanced CPUStress →
   Storage and marked CPUStress passed without it ever running.

Two-layer defense for #2:
- agent-side: /claim response now carries current_state; agent resumes
  at the matching stage on a re-claim (happy path).
- server-side: new TriggerStageMismatch + StageNameForState helper
  backstop. If body.Stage doesn't match the run's current stage, /result
  parks the run in FailedHolding with failed_stage labeled
  "<got> (expected <expected>)" and returns 409.

Other stages audited for similar unbounded concurrency — none found;
only CPUStress was unsafe.

Tests:
- cpustress_test.go — parseMemAvailable parses real meminfo, errors on
  missing/malformed; cap calc hits floor on tiny boxes, uses 1.5 GiB
  headroom on normal/huge boxes.
- statemachine_test.go — TriggerStageMismatch lands at FailedHolding
  from every stage state and is rejected from pre-stage/terminal
  states; StageNameForState round-trips the stageStates map.
- agent_handlers_test.go — TestResult_RejectsMismatchedStage proves
  the Orion scenario now 409s + FailedHolding; TestResult_AcceptsMatchingStage
  proves the guard doesn't break the happy path.
