v0.5.1: disable apply_patch in agents prone to append-mode failures

Root cause: apply_patch finds anchor lines in read-cached file state,
but file may have been modified between read and patch, causing stalls.

Changes:
- dr-verifier: disable apply_patch AND edit; force read-then-write protocol for evidence file appends
- dr-analyst: document write-preferred protocol for sources.jsonl appends
- dr-polisher: disable apply_patch; keep edit for small string replacements
- dr-editor-in-chief / dr-translator: disable apply_patch

Recovery procedure documented in dr-verifier for write failures.

+- Evidence matrix: `projects/<slug>/phase2/evidence/chXX-evidence.md` (English) — use `write` to create
+- Sources: `projects/<slug>/phase2/sources.jsonl` — read current content, append new source lines in memory, then `write` the full new content (do NOT use `apply_patch` to append JSONL lines — it often fails on whitespace matching)
+
+**If you need to revise a file you already wrote in this session** (e.g., after a self-check you want to extend a section):

+2. Compose the new full content in memory
+3. `write` the full content (overwrites atomically)

+## CRITICAL: File Writing Protocol (v0.5.1)
+
+**DO NOT USE `apply_patch` OR `edit` TOOLS ON EVIDENCE FILES.**
+
+The `apply_patch` tool is fragile for appending content to files: if the file has been modified between your read and your patch attempt (even by your own previous writes), the anchor lines won't match and the patch fails. This bug has caused multiple task stalls.
+
+**Use this protocol instead — "read-then-rewrite"**:
+
+1. **Read** the full current content of `chXX-evidence.md` using the `read` tool.
+2. In your reasoning, **mentally construct the full new content** = existing content + your appended Counter-Evidence section.
+3. **Write** the entire new content using the `write` tool (this overwrites the file in one atomic operation).
+4. **Never** call `apply_patch` or `edit` as a fallback if write fails. Instead: re-read, re-append, write again.
+
+The `edit` and `apply_patch` tools are disabled for this agent in v0.5.1.
