fix(orders): call the order-verbs by absolute path, not bare PATH names

board.sh's --dispatch --order-id thin starter told a dispatched session
to run `coord-order-claim <id>` / `coord-order-done <id> ...` literally.
Neither is on PATH, so step one was command-not-found - easy to misread
as "the order does not exist" (Verifiseringsloven ansikt 4).

Measuring the denominator beyond the one line the order named found the
same defect in two more emitters that hand a session its own next-step
text: coord-order-inbox.sh's SessionStart injection (every pending/claimed
order, not only dispatched ones) and coord-order-claim.sh's own WHEN DONE
/ IF YOU CANNOT lines. All three now call the verb via $SELFDIR (derived
from $0's directory, correct at emission time), and board.sh's interpolation
of it is shell-clean-guarded like the other two values sharing its
double-quoted position - reachability proven with a copy of board.sh run
from a space-containing path, not asserted.

board-selftest 239->246, orders-selftest 99->104. CLAUDE.md counts and a
new F-paragraph updated to match.

**ORDRE 65 (.claude, 2026-08-17): the verbs told a session to run themselves
by a BARE name, and neither is on PATH.** `board.sh`'s dispatch starter
(`--dispatch --order-id`) told a dispatched session to run `coord-order-claim
<id>` and `coord-order-done <id> ...` literally — command-not-found on step
one, misreadable as "the order does not exist" (Verifiseringsloven ansikt 4).
Measuring the denominator (the order asked only about `board.sh`, but the
defect is a class, not one line) found the SAME bare name in two more places
that print text a session is meant to execute next: `coord-order-inbox.sh`'s
SessionStart injection (the `-> claim:` / `-> in flight` hints shown for
EVERY pending/claimed order, not only a dispatched one) and
`coord-order-claim.sh`'s own `WHEN DONE` / `IF YOU CANNOT` lines, printed
directly to the session that just claimed. All three now call the verb by
the absolute path SIBLING TO THE PRINTING SCRIPT ITSELF (`$SELFDIR`, derived
from `$0`'s directory — the same technique `route.sh`'s own path already
uses in `board.sh`), not a literal version string: correct at the moment the
text is generated, for whichever install location is live then. It does not
survive a version bump landing between generation and paste — a plan-file
form held across a release can still go stale, the same way any other path
baked into a plan file would. `board.sh`'s `$SELFDIR` interpolation sits in
the exact double-quoted position `--prompt-file`/`--order-id` are already
shell-clean-checked in, so it got the identical guard — proven reachable
(not speculative) by invoking a COPY of `board.sh` from a directory whose
path contains a space, mirroring the fixture the `--prompt-file` tests
already use for the same reason. `coord-inbox.sh`/`coord-send.sh`/
`coord-done.sh` remain undisturbed: they have only ever been documented as
bare names in prose a human reads, never in text a session is handed to run.
