Stéphane Tailland 06c102fb72 feat: the periodic reorder proposal, and what it cannot do
The periodic half of Approvisionnement: a 06:00 schedule that reads the catalog
and proposes purchase quantities for anything below the reorder threshold.
Verified on live data — 110 of 110 references scanned, S24_2000 at 15 on hand,
135 proposed.

Three things it deliberately does not do, each recorded rather than worked
around:

It halts without a mandate. No user session exists at 06:00, and the
offline_access mandate the design calls for does not exist yet, so the first
node stops before any token exchange and before reading anything. An agent
without an identity does nothing rather than inventing an authority.

It writes nothing. The schema has no purchase order and no supplier entity, and
the catalog's only write tool is create-product, which belongs to another agent.
So catalog:write was not granted, contrary to the design's scope list: a scope
with no reachable target is an authorisation waiting for a use.

It scans one page and says so. complete: false escalates, because a proposal set
computed from part of the catalog looks exactly like one computed from all of
it.

Also: check_availability now states its basis. Deducting quantities committed on
open orders would need the sales API to be filterable by product code — it is
not, so the honest alternative was paging 2996 rows per question.
