feat(seed): editorial cmd to stage drafts for orphan deadline_concepts (t-paliad-320)

Stages five lifecycle_state='draft' sequencing_rules — one per orphan deadline_concept — via services.RuleEditorService.Create(), the same service the POST /admin/api/procedural-events handler hits internally (audit trigger + INSTEAD-OF view trigger fan-out into procedural_events + sequencing_rules + legal_sources). No HTTP/auth shell, no raw SQL writes. Drafts (slug → proceeding): - counterclaim-for-revocation → upc.ccr.cfi, 3 months, RoP.025 - versaeumnisurteil-einspruch → de.inf.lg, 2 weeks Notfrist, § 339 ZPO - schriftsatznachreichung → de.inf.lg, 3 weeks court-set, § 283 ZPO - weiterbehandlung (EPC) → epa.grant.exa, 2 months, Art. 121 EPÜ + R. 135(1) EPÜ - weiterbehandlung (DPatG § 123a) → event-rooted (NULL proc), 1 month The DPatG variant is event-rooted because no dpma.grant.* proceeding_type exists yet — flagged in deadline_notes as editorial follow-up. Idempotent: refuses to insert if (concept, proceeding, rule_code) already exists.
Merge: hotfix #3 mig 140 — filter POST check to active+published (B.2 dual-write scope)

+// Command seed-orphan-concept-drafts stages draft sequencing_rules for
+// deadline_concepts that have rule_count=0 ("orphans"). It calls the
+// same services.RuleEditorService.Create that POST
+// /admin/api/procedural-events runs internally, so the audit trigger
+// + INSTEAD-OF view trigger fan-out into procedural_events +
+// sequencing_rules + legal_sources fire identically. No HTTP/auth
+// shell, no direct SQL writes by this command.
+//
+// All rules are created with lifecycle_state='draft' (forced by the
+// service). The admin still reviews + publishes via
+// /admin/procedural-events.

+// t-paliad-320: editorial backlog from t-paliad-193, four remaining
+// orphan concepts: counterclaim-for-revocation, versaeumnisurteil-
+// einspruch, schriftsatznachreichung, weiterbehandlung. The
+// weiterbehandlung concept gets two drafts (EPC Art. 121 + R. 135
