chore(deps): address Copilot review round 13 on #2243

Three findings, all of them the same invariant reached by new routes: a
still-open advisory must never stand itself down, and a cleared issue
must be written once.

- Never clear an advisory that is open but unpatched. groupAlerts drops
  an alert with no first_patched_version, so it has no replacement
  group and no replacement issue — calling it "superseded" was false
  and clearing it removed the only thing tracking a live exposure. Such
  an issue is now left exactly as it is, and said so in the log.
- Stop re-editing cleared issues daily. A cleared issue stays open, so
  the next run regenerated its body with a new date and edited it
  again, forever. The date is now read back off the existing body, so
  only a real change writes — and a real change takes today's date.
- Distinguish an absent manifest from an unparseable one. Both returned
  null, so a malformed lockfile was treated as "the manifest is gone"
  and cleared the issue. A read error is evidence of nothing.
