Autonomous mode: bounded unattended continuation

Autonomous mode injects follow-up turns until quality gates pass or configured continuation, turn, token, or wall-clock limits stop further work. Goals, heartbeats, and schedules provide durable objectives and recurring prompts. A budget limit stopping the loop is not proof of task success.
