feat(centralui): row 75 — Approve is caution amber, not destructive red

The Secured Writes page rendered Approve and Reject as IDENTICAL red buttons.
Row 28 fixed the labels but left the styling, and the styling was the worse
half: at the moment of a two-person-control decision the colour carried no
discriminating information at all, and the affirmative half of the control wore
the delete affordance.

Root cause is that `danger` was a two-state flag for a three-state concept, so a
consequential-but-not-destructive action had to choose between looking like a
delete and looking like the safe default. Adds the missing middle rung:

    DialogSeverity { Normal -> btn-primary, Caution -> btn-warning,
                     Destructive -> btn-danger }

DECISION. Approve -> Caution (amber): approving executes a real write to live
plant equipment, so it is not a benign primary action, but it is not destroying
anything either. Reject KEEPS Destructive (red): it is terminal and irreversible
for the request — the Operator must resubmit — and holding it red is what keeps
the two opposite decisions visually distinct now that Approve is amber. Dropping
Reject to neutral was considered and rejected: it would invert the bias, making
declining look like the safe default. Colour is never the only signal — both
buttons carry their verb.

Only Destructive inherits the row-28 "Delete" label fallback; an unlabelled
Caution reads "Confirm", since a caution action is by definition not a delete —
otherwise row 28 would come back through the new door.

ADDITIVE OVERLOAD, deliberately. The boolean form stays the signature for all
~34 existing call sites, which are genuinely two-state, so nothing in src/
outside SecuredWrites.razor changed. Adding a fifth optional parameter to the
boolean form instead would have silently un-matched every existing four-argument
NSubstitute stub — the exact row-28 gotcha (null Task, caller NREs, no compile
error). The overload cannot: the only breakage was six hand-written IDialogService
fakes failing to compile, which is the loud failure mode. That gotcha did land
once, in SecuredWritesTests' own stub, and is now stubbed on both overloads with
a comment saying why.

DialogState's `bool Danger` became `DialogSeverity Severity` rather than gaining
a second field — it is read only by DialogHost, and one field cannot disagree
with itself.

Fail-before, both halves:
  - Approve call site reverted to `danger: true` -> both new Approve pins fail.
  - Caution remapped to btn-danger in DialogHost -> the amber styling pin fails.

Tests: DialogSeverityStylingTests renders the REAL DialogService behind a real
DialogHost (FailoverConfirmLabelTests' harness), so it pins what the user sees,
not what an argument was — all three severities, both label fallbacks, and the
boolean adapter. SecuredWritesTests pins that the page asks for Caution, with a
negative control that it did NOT also go through the boolean form (without which
the assertion would pass on a call site left at danger:true). Reject's red is
pinned too, so a later "make this page less alarming" pass cannot flatten both
to one colour.

No Playwright selectors needed updating — the suite has no Secured Writes
coverage, and no `.btn-danger` selector elsewhere targets this page.

Docs: Component-CentralUI.md gains the severity contract under Technology (next
to the row-28 label contract) plus the decision on the Secured Writes section.

CentralUI.Tests: 1055/1055 green.
