fix: redirect pm2/zulip health-check logging to Gitea, never graph (hard rule)

- pm2-self-heal.prose.md: description said 'logs every action to the
  knowledge graph', contradicting its own execution step (line ~60) that
  says '(not knowledge graph - hard rule)'. Align description to Gitea.
- zulip-self-heal.prose.md: Reporting section said 'every cycle produces
  a knowledge graph node'. Contract is RETIRED; remove graph-node directive.
- Both now consistently log to SyslogSolution/health-logs, never the graph.
