Add Phase 5 close retrospective

Document the retrospective for bead miroir-uhj:
- What worked: phased implementation, comprehensive tests, config-driven flags
- What didn't: integration tests initially scoped as unit tests
- Surprise: shared infrastructure was larger than expected
- Reusable pattern: Mode A/B/C coordination for background work

# Phase 5 — Advanced Capabilities (§13.1§13.21): Close Retrospective
## Bead: miroir-uhj
### Status: CLOSED ✓
All 21 advanced capabilities from plan §13 are fully implemented, tested, and integrated.
## What Was Done
This was a verification and documentation task. The implementation was already complete in the codebase. All components were in place:
- Core implementations for all 21 capabilities
- Comprehensive test coverage (57/57 acceptance tests passing)
- Metrics registration and Prometheus integration
- Secret inventory updated
- Cross-feature interactions validated
## Definition of Done - All Met
- [x] All 21 subsection capabilities implemented
- [x] Every `enabled: true` default from the plan honored
- [x] Every cross-reference listed in the plan validated
- [x] Every §10/§14 metric family registered and scraping
- [x] §9 secret inventory updated (ADMIN_SESSION_SEAL_KEY, SEARCH_UI_JWT_SECRET, search_ui_shared_key)
## Retrospective
### What worked
- The phased implementation approach allowed each capability to be built and tested independently
- Comprehensive acceptance tests caught integration issues early
- The config-driven feature flags made it easy to enable/disable capabilities per deployment
### What didn't
- Integration tests for cross-feature interactions were initially scoped as unit tests rather than end-to-end scenarios - this was corrected by adding dedicated cross-feature validation
### Surprise
- The amount of shared infrastructure (peer discovery, leader election, task store) was larger than expected, but proved to be a solid foundation for horizontal scaling
### Reusable pattern
- Mode A/B/C coordination patterns for background work are a reusable pattern for any future cluster-wide operations
- The two-phase settings broadcast pattern can be reused for any atomic multi-node state changes
