Orchestrator completed brief #143 while it still had 4 unanswered operator questions

Brief #143 ("Adversarial reviews"): worker flower-design-143 posted 4 agent_questions for the operator at 14:36:25; an orchestrator then marked it dispatched→complete at 14:40:53 (~4 min later) with those 4 questions still status=open. Effects: (1) the operator's Q28-31 were silently dropped — the brief looked done, so the operator never saw them; (2) the nav open-questions badge counts these stale-open questions on a completed brief, which is the root of the "badge shows 8 but the open-questions view shows 4" mismatch the operator reported (view hides completed briefs; badge does not). Proposal: block (or at least warn on) completing a brief that has open operator questions, OR auto-resolve/dismiss its open questions on completion; and scope the nav badge (BriefQuestion::openCount) to exclude questions on complete/cancelled/abandoned briefs (being fixed separately).
