fix(follow+vlm): prevent following-click catastrophe & stop VLM memory poisoning

FOLLOW PLUGIN SAFETY GUARD:
- Added pre-click XML guard: checks button text before clicking
- If button says 'Following'/'Requested'/'Message' → SKIP
  (prevents opening dangerous Unfollow/Add-to-Favorites bottom sheet)
- Changed intent from 'tap Follow or Following button' to 'tap follow button'
- This was the root cause of adding users to Close Friends/Favorites

VLM VERIFICATION RESILIENCE:
- VLM false no longer shortcircuits to return False
- VLM verdict is now a SOFT SIGNAL that falls through to structural
  delta verification as ground-truth tiebreaker
- Small local VLMs (7B llava) systematically return false for everything
- This was THE root cause of memory poisoning: every action got penalized
  because VLM always said 'failed', regardless of actual screen state
- 22 total poisoned Qdrant entries purged across two sessions

ROOT CAUSE CHAIN:
VLM always says false → penalties on every action → confidence < 0.2 →
circuit breaker blocks ALL core actions → bot can't like/follow/comment
→ bot clicks random things → adds to favorites, opens bottom sheets

TDD: 4 new tests, full suite 110/111 (1 infra flake)

TDD: Follow Plugin Safety Guard + VLM Verification Resilience

Only "Follow" buttons (not yet followed) are valid targets.
2. VLM verification must NOT be the sole source of truth. When VLM says "false"
