teknium1 02005cfe20 fix(kanban): promote refuses undone parents instead of a false --force success
`hermes kanban promote --force <id>` printed `Promoted <id> -> ready` and
then the very next claim (a human `claim`, or the dispatcher tick seconds
later) demoted the task back to `todo` with `claim_rejected
{parents_not_done}` and returned None (#106195). The non-force refusal
even pointed operators at `--force` as the escape hatch.

The claim gate is deliberate: `claim_task` is the single enforcement point
("never ready -> running with an undone parent, whichever writer set
'ready'", cda20eec0c), and `complete_task`/`request_review` re-check the
same predicate, so a child let through by a forced claim could still never
finish. A promotion override therefore has no honest outcome; the
dependency edge is the real knob.

- drop `--force` from `promote` (parser, CLI handler, `promote_task`
  kwarg, the `forced` event field nothing read)
- the refusal message now states why the gate cannot be bypassed and names
  the working remedies: complete the parents or `hermes kanban unlink`
- two invariant tests: refusal on an undone parent leaves `todo` with no
  fake `ready`; the flag no longer parses

Salvage direction from #75354 by @vyacheslavk (diagnosis of the promote ->
claim gap); the consume-at-claim authorization there is not taken because
the same parent gate also blocks completion of the forced child.

"""Tests for the kanban `promote` verb (issue #28822).
The realistic bug scenario from #28822 is: a child task ends up in
``todo`` with all its parents already ``done`` (because the
auto-promote daemon hasn't run, or a manual close raced it).
Direct-SQL setup is used to construct that state deterministically.
