- PR #142788: fix(kanban): claim locks stay host-local across macOS hostname flips

All three members concern Kanban task reclaim or claim locks when a machine's hostname changes, including on macOS. One describes local worker termination being skipped, and the other two are fix proposals: keeping claim locks host-local and adding a --force-local option to reclaim.
