Journal fixes: hole floor on restart, one log exception per call, no shape guard, no stray shard-0 logging

Browse source 
F1: InitializeLogSequencesFromStore raises the in-memory floor to the highest
gap above the store's compaction point, so a restart after a double refusal or
an interrupted compaction answers compacted_history instead of a gapped log.
F2: the journal raises one CultNetShardLogException per call carrying every
burned (shard, sequence); the unwrap rule for a cache-aggregated hold is
documented on the exception and on the cache commit.
F3: TakeDoor no longer refuses a door whose instance is the cached one, so
mutate-then-predict publishes Predicted and is not logged.
F6: a door-less change no shard matches is not logged; doors keep the
fallback shard they were resolved to.
Dispose disposes the journal before the observer. The log store doc says a
slow store blocks cache readers. Soul F4 is ignored as an accepted follow-up,
M1 is explicit.
