launch.sh watchdog now runs a fast (~30s) handoff_check alongside the heavy (300s) restart/DONE
check: when the Builder writes a CLAIMED gate it pings the Adversary to verify now; when the
Adversary updates REVIEW.md it pings the Builder to proceed (edge-triggered, reads local clones).
So a pending handoff resolves in <~30s instead of a whole idle interval. Pacing revised: the
Adversary may idle freely when nothing's pending (no pointless re-verify/busy-poll) and is woken
by the watchdog; Builder waits on the ping + a fallback ~2-4m self-poll. kickoff documents the
new "handoff signalling" role.
