Released nonterminal intent {} retains signed ownership

Error message

Released nonterminal intent {} retains signed ownership

What it means

Migration integrity check: a released intent that is not yet terminal still carries signed nonce ownership, which would conflict with future signing; the migration aborts instead of permitting double ownership.

Solutions

1. Re-run verification migration after fixing intent ownership records
2. Inspect the intent's release path for premature ownership release
