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, #3388, #3405.

Fix

• Wire accountAgeThresholdDays into issue contributor-cap path and label newly opened issues
• Match PR-path v8 ignore on label catch + defensive no-slash repoOwner branch (codecov/patch)
• Tests: tighten cap, established account, off-by-default, non-auto label, fail-open, custom label, owner/admin/bot exemption

Test plan

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

🛑 Suggested Action - Fix Blockers

Review summary
This change wires the existing account-age threshold into the issue contributor-cap path and adds issue-side visibility labeling for newly opened issues, with owner/admin/bot exemptions and fail-open behavior covered in the new tests. The core cap math mirrors the PR path by reducing only the effective per-repo issue cap and preserving the default/off path, so the visible diff is coherent and does not introduce a reachable correctness break. The main remaining issues are maintainability and coverage shape around duplicated exemption/lookup logic rather than a blocking defect.

Nits — 5 non-blocking

• nit: src/queue/processors.ts:4836 duplicates the owner/admin/bot exemption calculation again in the issue-label path at src/queue/processors.ts:5651, so extract or reuse a small helper to keep the PR/issue account-age exemption contract from drifting.
• nit: src/queue/processors.ts:4843 and src/queue/processors.ts:5659 can perform two `/users/{login}` lookups for the same opened issue when labeling and cap tightening both run; consider computing the account-age result once and passing it into the cap path or memoizing within the webhook handling.
• nit: src/queue/processors.ts:4817 should use a named `MS_PER_DAY`-style constant instead of inline `24 * 60 * 60 * 1000`, matching the intent-heavy style of this queue processor code.
• nit: test/unit/queue.test.ts:10501 adds broad account-age coverage, but the helper always returns `login: "newbie"` regardless of the requested author, which makes the fixture less faithful to the production lookup contract.
• src/queue/processors.ts:4836: add a local `isAccountAgeExemptAuthor(repoFullName, authorLogin, env)` helper and use it from both the cap path and the opened-issue label path.
