Subject: [PATCH 1/3] style: add missing @Override annotations

Adds @Override to the 553 methods that CodeQL's
java/missing-override-annotation flags. No behavior change; compiled at
--release 8 to confirm each one really overrides.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ci: catalogue Kotlin packages in the architecture-docs
 gate

#388 moved the Android layer to src/main/kotlin, so the gate, which only
scanned src/main/java, reported classic/android and core/android as
stale and turned Static Analysis red on main. Scan both source roots
for the package catalogue and both dependency rules.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] fix: address CodeQL quality alerts

Bugs:
- SiftingAppenderBase.start() threw NullPointerException instead of
  reporting "Missing discriminator" when none was configured.
- AbstractSocketAppender threw NullPointerException once the host
  resolved if reconnectionDelay was set to null; treat null as zero,
  as the resolution retry loop already did.
- Compressor leaked the FileOutputStream when the GZIPOutputStream
  constructor threw (it writes the gzip header).
- ElementPath overrode equals() without hashCode(); add one consistent
  with its case-insensitive comparison.
- Logger.getLevel() read the level without the lock setLevel() holds;
  make the field volatile.
- ScanException overrode Throwable's synchronized getCause() with an
  unsynchronized one; pass the cause to Throwable instead.
- ConfigurationWatchList decoded file URLs with the platform charset
  (deprecated URLDecoder.decode(String)); URL escapes are UTF-8.

Cleanups: always-true instanceof and count checks, redundant
toString() calls, a shadowed field, a non-static inner class, missing
spaces in two status messages, stale Javadoc @param names, the "No
context given" message printing ContextAwareImpl's default toString(),
and unused parameters of private and package-private methods.
