/**
 * Atomically cancel a paused approval gate (compare-and-swap).
 *
 * The reject sibling of resolveApprovalGate for the outcomes that TERMINATE the
 * run (no on_reject prompt, or the attempt cap reached): it flips the run
 * paused→'cancelled' in a SINGLE conditional UPDATE, guarded on the SAME
 * open-gate predicate. Doing it in one statement (instead of stamp-resolution +
 * separate cancelWorkflowRun) means there is never an intermediate
 * resolved-but-not-cancelled state that a failed second write could strand — a
 * reject retry could not self-heal past the fast-path gate guard. No `resolved`
 * marker is written: that marker only matters for the stay-paused rework path,
 * and the rejection reason is preserved in the approval_received event.
 *
 * Writes `workflow_cancelled` itself (#2906) rather than trusting the caller to
 * pass it: this is a terminal status write, and every other terminal writer here
