Cover the auto-fire decision matrix:
- _severity_rank ordering
- mode != auto-execute → never fires (auto-propose, manual)
- below-threshold action is skipped + audited
- federation case + no quorum → skipped + audited "no quorum"
- federation case + quorum met → fires
- local case + quorum required + local-only on → still fires
- local case + quorum required + local-only off → still fires
- quorum gating disabled → federation cases fire too
- kill switch armed → tick() skips everything
- pulse_audit records both auto-fire and skip rows
- audit_count_since returns the per-action counts the cockpit needs
- config round-trips through pulse_settings
Tests patch federation.is_quorum_met (raising=False so the sibling
agent can ship the real function later without breaking these), and
swap respond.execute_action for a counter so no SOAR sink call escapes.
