Hermes cron readiness audit treats stale FIX as recovered

When Hermes cron readiness shows a stale FIX decision, verify the actual job state in jobs.json before re-attempting a repair. A job that already has last_status=ok and a recent verified_at means the readiness report is stale; refresh the audit script and rerun rather than re-running the original fix. Practical steps: inspect launchctl for the job, confirm the agent log no longer shows the error, run the readiness audit, and expect GO with bad=0.
