P6.4: Mode B leader-only singleton coordinator verification complete

Verified plan §14.5 Mode B leader-only lease implementation:

- Leader election with SQLite advisory lock (leader_lease table)
- Redis SET NX EX lease support
- Leader-loss mid-operation: pause; new leader reads persisted phase state
- All Mode B operations are idempotent and safe to resume at phase boundaries

Lease scopes (plan §14.6):
- reshard:<index> - Per-index shard migration coordinator
- rebalance:<index> - Rebalancer worker
- alias_flip:<name> - Alias flip serializer
- settings_broadcast:<index> - Two-phase settings broadcast
- ilm - ILM evaluator
- search_ui_key_rotation:<index> - Scoped-key rotation

Acceptance tests pass (38 tests):
- 3 pods: exactly one is leader at any instant
- Kill leader during reshard phase 3 (verify); new leader resumes at phase 3
- Kill leader during 2PC phase 2 (verify); new leader resumes verify
- miroir_leader metric sum across all pods is always 1
