Three screens, an Events nav group and the six live run controls Phase 1 left
absent on purpose because nothing was in flight. An admin can now author,
publish, start and watch an event that announces things and cues a human; a
moderator can stop one that is going wrong.
Six controls, not eight. `advance` is absent because a phase today advances when
its steps go terminal — the per-step skip already does that — and Phase 5 is what
gives a phase an advance condition. Cancel takes `{ reason }`, not `{ cleanup }`,
until Phase 8's ledger exists. Every control is a compare-and-set on the status it
may act from, so a console rendered thirty seconds ago cannot act on a run that
has moved.
Fixes a defect in the Phase 2 runner: `advanceRun` drained up to
EVENT_STEPS_PER_TICK steps while only checking the run's status at the top of the
tick, so a pause pressed mid-batch did nothing for up to 24 more steps.

`utils/eventRunner.js`, the eighth poller, wired into server.js beside
engagementWorker. Its tick reclaims stale leases, sweeps occurrences past their
grace window into `missed`, advances each due run through its phases, and drains
that phase's steps in `seq` order. The three core actions from Phase 1 get real
bodies, so a published event started from the existing run route now announces,
waits and completes on its own.
No routes are added: a runner has no surface, and the live controls stay Phase
3's.
Four things the org lead settled (2026-09-02): a parked step is `running` with a
NULL lease; `await: 'human'` and `holdFor` are ordinary success-envelope members
rather than special cases keyed on an action id; a run whose concurrency key is
held stays `scheduled` and lets its grace window decide; and `n` in §L's
`retry(n)` is a runner constant.
