Andy Dixon edcc6580b6 fix(volition): rest an action on the belief about that action
An intention's supporting beliefs came from a text search on the target,
and ties on rank and confidence had no order, so a verification miss could
revise an unrelated belief about the same service. Beliefs that mention the
proposed action now come first, and belief search breaks ties by id.

The incident scenario asserts the first support is the belief about
restarting, and waits for the blocked intention and the procedural memory
instead of reading them once.

// Part L: an operator asks Noema to investigate a failing production
// system; it diagnoses with telemetry, discovers it needs logs, asks for
// temporary scoped access with the risk explained, reads the logs, is told
// a restart should help, wants to restore service, meets a commitment that
// production changes need approval, asks instead of acting, restarts with a
// typed capability once approved, verifies rather than assumes, finds the
// fault persists, records the prediction error and weakens the belief,
// abandons the branch and replans without repeating the restart, and after
// the underlying fault is fixed resolves the incident, learns the procedure
// and explains itself from the record.
//
// Where the scenario needs semantic judgement a deterministic runtime
// cannot make (that the logs implicate a stalled queue, that a restart
// should clear it), the operator supplies it as conversation; everything
// else is the runtime's own recorded cognition.
