fix: make set_issue_field non-fatal and fix smoke-codex field discovery

[Copilot]

Smoke Codex's safe_outputs job was failing because the Codex agent guessed Status as the field name for set_issue_field — a field no longer on the project board — causing the entire safe-outputs batch to exit non-zero even though the agent job succeeded.

Changes

safe_output_handler_manager.cjs — set_issue_field is now report-only

Added set_issue_field to REPORT_ONLY_FAILURE_TYPES alongside assign_to_agent and upload_artifact. Project-board fields can drift (renamed/removed); a bad field write now surfaces as a warning rather than failing the safe_outputs job.

const REPORT_ONLY_FAILURE_TYPES = new Set(["assign_to_agent", "upload_artifact", "set_issue_field"]);

smoke-codex.md — explicit field discovery before set_issue_field

Step 10 previously said "discover available fields and choose one" with no instruction on how — in gh-proxy mode there is no GitHub MCP server, so the agent fell back to guessing. Now the step explicitly runs a gh api graphql command to list real available fields before picking one:

OWNER="${GITHUB_REPOSITORY%%/*}" && REPO="${GITHUB_REPOSITORY##*/}" && gh api graphql \
  -f query='query($owner:String!,$repo:String!){repository(owner:$owner,name:$repo){issueFields(first:20){nodes{...}}}}' \
  -f owner="$OWNER" -f repo="$REPO"

Date fields are preferred as the first choice (value format is always deterministic). If discovery fails or returns nothing, the test is reported as skipped.

Tests

Added three tests covering the new set_issue_field report-only behavior: active failures are non-fatal, skipped/cancelled results are excluded, and partitionFailureResults routes them to reportOnlyFailures rather than fatalFailures.
