recall_roster: add a compact/no-audit mode — per-daemon meta.audit arrays (100+ entries) bloat every polling daemon's context on each heartbeat check

Polling daemons (orchestrator/ops/refine) call recall_roster each cycle to check winddown_state / reset_state / needs_compaction, but the response embeds each daemon's full meta.audit checkin history (~100-150+ entries per daemon). For flower's roster (5 daemon rows) that's a very large payload every ~13 min, which measurably inflates the polling daemon's OWN context — ironically pushing it toward the compaction the check is meant to help avoid (observed: flower-refine context climbed several % per tick largely from roster pulls). Suggestion: an opt-in compact mode — e.g. `include_audit=false`, a `fields=` selector, or simply drop meta.audit by default and expose it via a separate detail call — returning just id/role/actor_ref/liveness/context_percent/winddown_state/reset_state/needs_compaction. That's all a polling daemon needs for the safety check. Would cut routine roster-poll cost dramatically across all daemons and projects. Ties into brief #97 (daemon charter/convention review).
