fix(sdd,codex): bounded wait stretches with reconciliation

Browse Source 
Round 2 proved the long-wait mechanism (65.1%->0.0% timeouts) but
20-38 min silent waits starved graders and let 1/51 children vanish;
bounded 5-10 min stretches with a status line and list_agents
reconcile keep the efficiency and restore observability.

**Waiting on dispatched subagents:** never poll a wait interface with
short timeouts. While you have local work — ledger updates, packaging
the next review, reading reports — keep working; child results arrive
on their own. Wait only when you are genuinely idle, and then issue one
long wait (fifteen minutes or more, where your platform allows it)
instead of many short ones: a long wait wakes just as fast and costs
one call instead of dozens.
short timeouts, and never sit in one silent, open-ended wait either.
While you have local work — ledger updates, packaging the next review,
reading reports — keep working; child results arrive on their own.
When you are genuinely idle, wait in bounded stretches (five to ten
minutes, where your platform allows), and between stretches post one
line of status and reconcile your live children: list them, and chase
any that finished without reporting. A bounded stretch keeps nearly
all of a long wait's efficiency while guaranteeing a stuck or lost
child is noticed within minutes, not at the end of the session.
