execute() was calling transition(Active) before spawning quire-ci,
setting the DB state to 'active'. The GET /api/run/bootstrap handler
checks state == 'pending' and returns 410 if not, so quire-ci always
got 410 on its first (and only) bootstrap fetch.

For API transport, the bootstrap endpoint owns the pending→active
transition (it also stamps started_at_ms). Skip the DB write in
execute() for that transport mode; update local state only so the
later transition(Complete/Failed) call passes the state-machine check.
