fix(company): route delete cascade through transition_work_item; centralize resume identity restore

- delete_work_item descendant cascade now goes through transition_work_item
  (audit reason, attempt-ledger settlement, phase hooks) instead of raw
  store phase writes plus manual task.status mutation; task-owned audit
  stamps and execution-lock release only happen when a cancellation
  actually occurred, removing a desync path (task=CANCELLED under
  work_item=APPROVED) in drift scenarios.
- transition_work_item gains blocked_reason/handoff_status passthrough so
  callers no longer need a second store write for the same transition.
- new build_company_resume_identity_restore helper in metadata_ownership
  replaces the ad-hoc delegation_seat_id/role/session literals in
  engine._restore_and_pin_company_resume_execution_identity, keeping seat
  identity writes inside the ownership contract module.
