fix(onboard): stop dropping onboard-check remediations on the --apply --auto path

Takeover of #2161. runRemediation ignored onboard-check extras in three
places: the pre-flight plan, the initial recommendation build, and the D7
mid-run recheck that rebuilds recs after every completed step. The --check
path threaded extras correctly, so `gbrain onboard --apply --auto` reported
"Nothing to do" when the only remediable work came from onboard checks —
and even with the first two sites fixed (the original PR diff), any plan
with 2+ steps dropped all remaining extras after step 1 via the recheck.

- Add RemediationOpts.extraRemediations; thread it through the pre-flight
  plan, initial recs, and the mid-run recheck.
- Recheck filters extras to ids not already processed this run: extras
  carry static status:'remediable', so unfiltered threading would resubmit
  completed extras forever.
- Wire the CLI --auto path (onboard.ts) AND the MCP run_onboard auto path
  (operations.ts), which already computed the scope-filtered allowedExtras
  and then dropped it.
- Regression test: extras-only plan on an empty brain runs BOTH extras
  exactly once and terminates (serial file: mock.module queue stub +
  GBRAIN_HOME tmpdir).
