fix(runtime): complete crewai/deepagents/gemini-cli removal + fail-closed on unresolvable runtime

Addresses core-security REQUEST-CHANGES (review 4269) on PR #1385
(RFC internal#483). The original removal was incomplete and silently
changed behavior:

1. manifest.json workspace_templates still listed crewai/deepagents/
   gemini-cli. handlers.knownRuntimes (the workspace-create admission
   allowlist) is built at boot from manifest.json via runtime_registry.go
   — NOT from provisioner.knownRuntimes — so a create request for a
   "removed" runtime was still admitted. Removed the 3 entries; the
   manifest now resolves to the 6 kept template-backed runtimes
   (claude-code, hermes, openclaw, codex, langgraph, autogen) + injected
   meta-runtimes. langgraph/autogen retained intentionally — not in the
   internal#483 removal set and still in provisioner.knownRuntimes.

2. selectImage silently fell back to DefaultImage (langgraph) for any
   named-but-unresolvable runtime: a user asking for crewai got a
   langgraph container with no signal. selectImage now returns
   (string, error) and rejects a NAMED-but-unresolvable runtime with
   ErrUnresolvableRuntime (naming the offending runtime). Start
   propagates it; the existing markProvisionFailed path already
   broadcasts WorkspaceProvisionFailed + records the message. Implements
   the CTO hardgate directive (feedback_platform_must_hardgate_base_contract
   — fail-closed, no silent degrade). The genuinely-unspecified (empty)
   runtime remains a distinct legitimate path → DefaultImage.

go build ./... and go test ./internal/provisioner/ ./internal/handlers/
./internal/imagewatch/ ./internal/registry/ ./internal/models/ all pass.
selectImage tests updated to assert the new fail-closed contract (new
expected values verified against the security finding, not made-green).
