fix(route): resume an existing ai/issue-N branch instead of losing re-triggered work

When an agent was re-triggered on an issue that already had a branch/open PR, route.sh created a
fresh branch from main (git checkout -b), so the push back was rejected non-fast-forward and the new
commits were silently dropped (|| true) -- the run reported success and re-announced the stale PR,
but the work was gone (observed on issue #17 run #88). Resume the existing branch when it exists, so
new commits fast-forward onto it and update its PR; only branch from main when none exists.
