Review the audit shortlist one candidate at a time.

Requirements:

- Resolve the target audit directory from `audit=<path>` when provided, otherwise use the latest run under `.local/audits/`.
- Read `selection-manifest.tsv` first, then open each pending candidate's `detail_file` before asking for a decision.
- Summarize the candidate's purpose, expected benefit, audit context, and why it scored as it did before asking for a decision.
- Mention transcript prompt-cost proxy fields when they are present, but label them as cost signals rather than exact token counts.
- If the detail bundle has weak or missing evidence, say that explicitly and explain what the user would be deciding on anyway.
- Use `vscode_askQuestions` to present decision choices as buttons and allow freeform text for `review_note`.
- Update `selection-manifest.tsv` after each answer so review progress survives interruptions.
- Stop only when every row has a non-empty `decision` or the user tells you to stop.
