Atomic write claim is unverifiable from spec; concurrent runs could clobber seen-list

`tmp + mv` on the same filesystem is atomic for the rename itself, but does not prevent a concurrent run (e.g. workflow_dispatch invocation while the cron is mid-run) from racing on read-modify-write. Two concurrent runs both reading the same `seen` and both writing back would lose updates from whichever lost the rename race — the lost run's NEW_ACTIVE entries would re-fire next time. Given workflow_dispatch is a documented mechanism for `dry-run` overrides, the race is plausible.

Recommendation

Either guard with a GitHub Actions `concurrency:` group on the workflow, or use `flock` around the read-modify-write of state files, or document that concurrent invocations are unsupported and rely on Actions concurrency to enforce it.

Other reviewer

The other reviewer flagged nothing in this file/line range.

Why this didn't post

This finding didn't meet AntFleet's unanimous agreement threshold. Both frontier models review every PR independently; only findings they both flag with the same severity and category are posted to the PR. This one fell through.
