Fixes #15202

Human-authored and configured hive owner/merger PRs could be treated as offline contributor hives after Let hive decide, allowing hive to supersede the author's PR. They now retain their own PR: reviewer questions and changes return to stage 071 with an author notification, a reviewed/green/mergeable head can be admitted, and holds remain enforced.

Protect both delegated decision paths (including stage 090 and orphaned-adoption recovery), LLM action validation, and adoption/re-home execution. Explicit adoption requests cannot override the protection; terminal refusals consume the request and appear in tracker hovers even without a contributor nudge. Relay PR adoption remains available.

Validation: added table/regression coverage for routing, policy, safety rails, adoption execution, dashboard decisions, and tracker hovers; updated affected stage golden expectations and explicit relay fixtures. gofmt -l and git diff --check pass. Go tests/build/lint were not run locally, per AGENTS.md; CI is the test verdict.

No GitHub state was changed on #15157 or #15192.

Open PR overlap check

Base branch: v5

This PR conflicts with v5 itself. Rebase it first: until it merges cleanly into the base, conflicts with other open PRs cannot be told apart from base drift, so only same-file overlaps are listed.

Conflicts are checked with every PR merged onto the current tip of v5, so a PR that only needs a rebase is not reported as conflicting with its siblings.

Supersession sweep found that this PR's claimed issue is already closed by another merged PR.

• Claimed issue: hive#15202
• Closing PR: #15240

Decision needed (@hivecommons): #15240 already merged and closed the claimed issue, but this PR touches files the merged PR did not. Recommended: keep open until the extra changes are reviewed, or close as superseded if they are not wanted. Another option: merge anyway.

Files the merged PR did not touch: changelog.d/fixed-15202-human-pr-adoption.md, src/docs/adr/0025-central-stage-engine.md, src/internal/testutil/dashboard_import_allowlist.txt, src/pkg/dashboard/api_repo_item_decide_delegated_test.go, src/pkg/dashboard/api_repo_item_decide_orphan.go and 9 more.

This comment is edited in place by the supersession sweep; it is not duplicated.

/hive decision supersede now: adopt #15219 in supersede mode, preserving the author's commits and sign-off; do not wait for the grace deadline

Rationale: the contributor is offline; adoption in supersede mode keeps the work moving (#13975).

Hive decided: Close this PR and open a fresh hive-authored PR with the same commits.
Why: The author's hive hasn't been connected since the nudge.
What happens next: The hive closes this PR and opens a fresh hive-authored PR with the same commits and sign-off, then finishes that one — expected within 30 min.
If it doesn't happen: A maintainer can merge this PR by hand, re-run the decision, close it as superseded, or send it back for a new commit.

Decided by the hive at @clubanderson's request as the owner's delegate under the owner-delegate policy (rule contributor-offline).

[clubanderson]

Closing as superseded: #15202 was fixed and merged in #15240 (v5 25de3ba24) before this PR could be rebased; the diff here conflicts with that merge. Thanks @thatguywob — nothing further needed on this branch.
