fix: enforce open-limit rules proactively in the foreground

RuleEnforcer.refresh only shielded a limit rule once its budget was
spent, so it tore down the background's proactive open-limit "turnstile"
shield (the shield is how opens are counted) whenever the app was
foregrounded, and a freshly created open-limit rule did nothing until
the next midnight reset.

refresh now applies the same proactive gate as
LimitEnforcement.handleDayStart: an enabled, scheduled-today, un-paused
open-limit rule is shielded even before its budget is spent, so it takes
effect immediately. A new app-group OpenSessionStore records a granted
"Open" session's expiry so neither enforcement path re-shields (and cuts
short) a sanctioned ~15-minute session.

Overlapping rules already enforce strictly: each rule shields its own
ManagedSettingsStore and Screen Time unions them, so an app is blocked
if any covering rule blocks it. Document that model in the spec (§4.8)
and lock it in with tests, including a time limit blocking during an
open-limit's granted session and a daily opens reset.

+The domain currency is a **sum type** so a rule can only hold the options that
+belong to its kind — illegal states (e.g. an Open Limit rule with a time
+window, or a Time Limit rule with Block Adult Content) are unrepresentable:
 
 ```swift
 enum RuleKind: String, Codable { case schedule, timeLimit, openLimit }
 enum SelectionMode: String, Codable { case block, allowOnly }
 
+enum RuleConfiguration: Hashable, Sendable {
+    case schedule(ScheduleConfig)

+    var endMinutes: Int          // may be ≤ start (crosses midnight)

+}

+    when the app is closed**. A window that ends exactly at midnight, or is
+    shorter than DeviceActivity's 15-minute minimum interval, may fail to

+  (launch + 30 s foreground loop) is retained as the reconciliation safety
