Per maintainer: @qa must never change code — it only accepts a PR or sends it back to the dev with
precise instructions. Replaces the halt-on-any-problem behavior with a bounce loop:
- QA prompt: emit MERGE_PR (approve), or `BOUNCE: @<dev>` after spelling out exactly what to change.
HALT_AUTOPILOT is now only for problems a dev can't fix (needs a human decision).
- publish.sh: on BOUNCE, re-trigger the named dev (via AGENT_TOKEN) with "autopilot fix attempt N/3".
Count prior attempts from the PR thread; at 3 it stops (removes the label) and hands to @ffaerber.
- publish.sh: after a dev pushes a fix (resume), auto-re-trigger @qa to re-verify — closing the loop
(dev fix -> qa re-check -> merge or bounce again).
- Updated the initial @qa trigger wording (bounce, not halt).
Verified: BOUNCE target parsing and the 3-strike counter (attempts 1/3,2/3,3/3 then HALT).
