fix(bug-verify-sonnet@1): agent self-transitions flow_state, remove dead verdict-tx node

verdict-tx (kind: script) never worked: script nodes are harness-exempt
(WF-COMP-6/MN-38) and run in their own empty container, so it could
never credentially read /workspace/verdict from the agent's node.

Option 3: give the agent node's own composite (planning-sonnet-repo) a
cp-service-token/v1 layer, and have the agent PATCH its own item's
flow_state (verified|rejected) to the CP directly as its last step,
before task_complete. Removes verdict-tx entirely.

See agent-runtimes work item 88ecd23e and spec/typed-workflows.md
WF-COMP-25 (agent-runtimes commit 8972d266) for the finalize.py
precedence fix this depends on (ambiguous pipe-separated output.state
must never be auto-PATCHed over the agent's own value).
