fix(agent-actions): apply account-age throttle on issue contributor-cap path

[RealDiligent]

Summary

Completes the issue-path half of account-age throttle (#2561). Supersedes closed #3374 and #3388 (codecov/patch failures).

Fix

• Wire accountAgeThresholdDays into issue contributor-cap path and label newly opened issues
• Match PR-path v8 ignore on issue label catch handler (codecov/patch gap)
• Tests: custom label, owner/admin exemption, cap tighten, fail-open, autonomy off

Test plan

• npm run typecheck
• npm run selfhost:env-reference:check
• 8 issue-path account-age unit tests pass locally

🛑 Suggested Action - Fix Blockers

Review summary
The change wires accountAgeThresholdDays into the issue contributor-cap path and adds issue-open labeling parity for below-threshold accounts. The core cap tightening is on the real opened-issue path, preserves owner/admin/automation exemptions, and fail-opens when the GitHub user creation date cannot be resolved. I did not find a reachable correctness blocker in the visible diff, but the new age calculation/lookup logic is duplicated enough that it should be tightened for maintainability.

Nits — 5 non-blocking

• nit: src/queue/processors.ts:4829 and src/queue/processors.ts:5645 duplicate the same account-age lookup and day math, so change this to a shared helper or point me to the existing PR-path helper if there is one.
• nit: src/queue/processors.ts:4833 and src/queue/processors.ts:5650 inline `24 * 60 * 60 * 1000`; use a named `MS_PER_DAY`/helper so the issue path stays aligned with the PR path.
• nit: test/unit/queue.test.ts:10508 has `stubIssueAccountAgeFetch` always return `login: "newbie"`, even in the `oldbie` test, which weakens the test as a source-path assertion; make the stub take the expected login or derive it from the request URL.
• In src/queue/processors.ts, extract something like `isBelowAccountAgeThreshold(env, installationId, authorLogin, thresholdDays)` and reuse it for both issue labeling and issue cap tightening.
• In test/unit/queue.test.ts, update `stubIssueAccountAgeFetch(issueNumber, createdAt, seen)` to accept `login` so the fixture matches the author under test.
