Scan every project for broken transcripts, and stop crying wolf

repair-session only ever listed the project you were standing in, which is a
poor place to start from when the thing you cannot resume is a session whose
project you no longer remember. --all drops the working-directory scoping and
checks all of them. (A named session id was already looked up across every
project; only the listing was scoped.)

The first version of that scan reported 16 of 59 transcripts as unresumable,
which was true in the narrowest sense and useless in every other. Checking them:
5 had never received an assistant reply at all, and 10 had run start to finish
on a gateway, so every id in them is that provider's by design. Those resume
perfectly well under the provider they were born on, have nothing to truncate
back to, and are only a problem if you try to resume them as Anthropic. Calling
either of them damage buries the one case that is.

So the verdict now carries a kind - healthy, repairable, gateway-native,
synthetic-only, no-messages - and only `repairable` is reported or acted on: a
transcript with a genuine msg_ message and junk after it. Across the same 59 it
now correctly reports nothing to repair, while still classifying the real
corrupted transcript from the incident as repairable with 108 lines to drop.

A gateway-native session asked about directly now says what it is and that there
is nothing to fix, rather than failing with "no Anthropic-issued message".

to the last message Anthropic issued:
```bash
claude-mode repair-session # list transcripts here and their state
claude-mode repair-session # transcripts for this project
claude-mode repair-session --all # every project, problems only
claude-mode repair-session <session-id> # show what it would cut
claude-mode repair-session <session-id> --apply
```
Scope, since it is not obvious: a bare listing covers only the project you are
standing in (walking up from the current directory to find it), while a **named
session id is looked up across every project** — you rarely remember which
project a session you cannot resume belonged to. `--all` drops the scoping
entirely.
`--all` reports only what is actually actionable, which matters more than it
sounds. Of 59 transcripts here it initially flagged 16; on inspection 5 had
simply never received a reply, and 10 had run start-to-finish on a gateway, so
every id in them is that provider's by design. Those resume perfectly well under
the provider they were born on, have nothing to truncate back to, and are only a
problem if you try to resume them as Anthropic. Neither is damage, so neither is
listed. Only a transcript that has a genuine `msg_` message *and* junk after it
is something this can or should touch.
### The cut turns are not thrown away
Truncating is the mechanical fix, but the turns being cut are the work itself —
