Implement auto-recovery for consensus failures

- Add iteration tracking and stuck detection to orchestrator
- Add triggerAutoRecovery function for automatic pipeline respawn
- Store structured failure context (proposals, conflicts, reason)
- Force GAMMA agent on recovery attempts for conflict resolution
- Limit auto-recovery to 3 attempts to prevent infinite loops
- Add UI status badges for rebooting/aborted states
- Add failure-context API endpoint for orchestrator handoff
- Add test_auto_recovery.py with 6 passing tests

Exit codes: 0=success, 1=error, 2=consensus failure, 3=aborted
