Record patch-zero-72 outcomes in the evidence ledger.

The job ends after help_wanted_contribute.py. It has no success receipt, failure receipt, or artifact upload. The separate claim job records only the claim outcome. A live patch success or failure can therefore leave no durable JSONL receipt or uploaded evidence artifact. Add the same evidence and upload steps used by the upstream PR job.

In @.github/workflows/help-wanted-execute.yml at line 331, Update the
help-wanted execution job after help_wanted_contribute.py to record both success
and failure outcomes in the evidence ledger, then upload the resulting evidence
artifact using the same steps and configuration as the upstream PR job.
