test: regression coverage for the 3 fixes found by Phase F validation

Each fix lands a focused test that fails without the fix and passes
with it.

1. Cancel route findResource (b490afe) — extracted the PG-or-buffer
   lookup into apps/webapp/app/v3/mollifier/resolveRunForMutation.server.ts
   so it's unit-testable independently of the route builder.
   apps/webapp/test/mollifierResolveRunForMutation.test.ts covers all
   three paths: PG hit, buffer hit, both miss, plus env/org mismatch
   and PG-hit-short-circuits-before-buffer.

2. createCancelledRun empty-tags (eef33e5) — added a containerTest
   case to internal-packages/run-engine/src/engine/tests/createCancelledRun.test.ts
   passing `tags: {} as unknown as string[]` (mimics the cjson decode
   shape for an empty Lua table) and asserting the PG row is created
   with runTags=[]. Without the defensive Array.isArray check the
   Prisma create rejects with `Argument 'set' is missing`.

3. applyMetadataMutation retry budget (4e7d5d8) — new file
   apps/webapp/test/mollifierApplyMetadataMutation.test.ts with a
   stub MollifierBuffer that simulates Lua-CAS semantics in memory.
   Covers: zero contention, 5/11 simulated conflicts within budget,
   99 conflicts exhausting, and a 30-way concurrent-write convergence
   test. Includes a regression assertion that maxRetries=3 (pre-fix
   default) exhausts under 8 conflicts — confirming the regression
   actually existed.
