host P0.2: publish-DAG + execute-fold runner + capability check (hypothesis confirmed)

The hypothesis test. FINDING: a synchronous business flow expresses NATURALLY as an EXECUTE-FOLD
composition (host/execute.sx: seq/effect/alt — the category branch IS 'alt'), NOT an artdag
DATAFLOW DAG (which has no control flow). So 'business logic = art-dag' holds at the ABSTRACTION
(both content-addressed op-DAGs) and is REFINED at the vocabulary: the synchronous control-flow
runner is the execute-fold (caps {effect,branch,each}); artdag is the dataflow sibling. Two
instances of one thing, run very differently — exactly the framing.

lib/host/flows.sx: capability typing (host/flow--node-cap/required-caps derive a DAG's capability
set from its node vocabulary; effect→effect, alt→branch, each→each, wait→suspend), the execute-fold
seam runner (advertises {effect,branch,each}), and host/flow--bind (required ⊆ advertised → derive
the runner, else fail-fast). host/blog--publish-dag (the publish workflow) + publish-ctx.

Verified: publish-DAG required-caps = {effect,branch} → binds to the sync runner; runs →
newsletter→[validate,digest] / urgent→[validate,notify] / other→[validate,skip]; a  node →
{suspend} → binds FAIL-FAST against the exec-runner (would need the Erlang runner, RA). Runner is
DERIVED, not chosen. flows 7/7, blog 203/203, full host conformance 591/591.
