🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add a recovery contract for typed searches.

searchText has no mode, so this branch applies to every search. review-investigation-turn-prompt.ts Line 10 requires typed searches to use the exact query and paths=["."]. Line 12 requires complete relation-context receipts. The prompt only permits narrowing after this error for exploratory searches at Line 14.

A typed search that matches more than 512 files can fail with no permitted way to complete its required evidence. Pass the search purpose and apply this limit only to exploratory searches, or define typed-search failure and obligation-closure behavior.

In `@src/context-gateway/filesystem-context-gateway-v4.ts` around lines 415 - 417,
Update the relation-path limit handling in the search flow around matchedPaths
and CONTEXT_GATEWAY_V4_RELATION_PATH_MAX_ITEMS to distinguish exploratory from
typed searches. Apply the 512-item failure only to exploratory searches, or
otherwise define typed-search failure and evidence-closure behavior so required
exact-query, paths=["."], and complete relation-context receipts remain
satisfiable.
