fix: critical bug - exploitation phase was always skipped

ROOT CAUSE:
- Exploitation phase checked session.validationResults to determine eligibility
- validationResults field was removed during audit system refactor
- Field never existed in session schema, so all exploits were skipped

THE FIX:
- Exploitation phase now validates queue files directly when checking eligibility
- Reads exploitation_queue.json and checks if vulnerabilities array is non-empty
- No need to store validation results - just re-validate on demand

CHANGES:
1. runParallelExploit() now calls safeValidateQueueAndDeliverable() directly
2. Removed validationResults parameter from markAgentCompleted()
3. Simplified calculateVulnerabilityAnalysisSummary() - no longer needs validation data
4. Simplified calculateExploitationSummary() - no longer needs validation data

IMPACT:
- Exploitation agents will now run when vulnerabilities are found
- Queue files are the single source of truth for eligibility
- Simpler architecture - no duplicate state storage
