check_tests_passed/_parse_tests_verdict gated the testing -> deploy-staging
transition on `verdict:`/`status:` in 13-test-report.md, but the tester agent
prompt (.openclaw/agents/tester*) documents `result: PASS | FAIL` as THE
machine-readable field. A report that followed the contract literally
(ORCH-017: only `result: PASS`, no verdict:/status:) was bounced back to
development with a misleading "Tests FAILED". ORCH-016 only passed because its
report redundantly carried both `verdict:` and `result:`.
Treat `result:` as a first-class machine field alongside verdict/status; a
negative token in any field stays authoritative (ET-013 contract preserved).
Self-hosting QG fix: unblocks every project whose tester emits only `result:`.
Docs updated in-PR: CHANGELOG, architecture README machine-keys note.
Tests: test_qg.py::TestCheckTestsPassed::test_result_pass_only_passes / _fail_only_fails.
