fix(capture): name what escalated the classification in an I1 refusal (#91)

infra#265 reported "capture with a tickets array fails": 20 tickets
errored, 5 errored, the caller fell back to 20 individual issue_create
calls and filed a bug against the array.

The array was never the failing dimension. Every ticket in that batch
targeted a client repo, and the I1 sovereignty gate refuses a
confidential capture through a us-nexus origin at ANY length — reproduced
live today against brain-mcp: length 1 succeeds for an internal repo,
length 20 validates clean, and a single ticket targeting
trucker-ecommerce is refused.

What made it look like an array bug is that the refusal named neither the
offending target nor the fact that a policy said no:

    capture refused by I1 sovereignty gate: effective classification
    confidential through us-nexus origin

With twenty tickets a caller cannot tell which repo tripped it, so
"the array is broken" is a reasonable conclusion from the evidence
available. resolveClassification now also returns the targets carrying
the effective level, and the refusal names them:

    ... through us-nexus origin (required by: trucker-ecommerce)

Only targets that actually reach the effective level are named — at
twenty tickets, listing the innocent ones hides the one that matters —
and a caller who declared confidential themselves is told exactly that,
because "you asked for this" and "a repo you touched required it" call
for different fixes.

Regression tests at length 1 and 20 pin the array path that was never
broken, and a third pins per-item partial success: infra#265 asked "if
ticket 3 of 5 fails, what happened to 1 and 2?" — they land, and the
receipt says so per item.
