Subject: [PATCH] perf(terminal): stop shipping every agent spinner title frame
 to the renderer

Main re-asserts a working OSC title per pane every 80ms (12.5/sec) while an
agent works, and every frame became its own pty:sideEffect IPC message. Both
renderer store writes already discard those frames via
isDecorativeAgentTitleFrameChange, and paired remote clients already never see
them (RuntimeClientEventBus's per-listener title gate). Only the local desktop
renderer was still paying for them.

Apply the same decorative gate main already computes for the mobile fan-out one
hop earlier, keeping a 500ms heartbeat so the renderer's 1500ms hook-done quiet
window still sees a working title and can cancel a Pi/OMP milestone 'done'.
