fix(runtime): hold the session mirror through an unverifiable probe

Two derivations read the same host state and reached opposite verdicts, and
the destructive one won. When a status probe came back unverifiable over a
still-ready transport, runtimeHostConnectionStateForEntry called the host
'runtime-unavailable' (connected) while getReachableRuntimeSessionMirrorTargets
dropped it, tearing down and cold-rebuilding the session-tab mirror while the
host's flows were still delivering.

The root cause is that applyRuntimeHostStatusSnapshot nulls entry.status for any
non-verified probe while the snapshot retains the runtime identity. The
connection-state reader consults the snapshot; the mirror-target reader did not.

Give both readers one answer:

- lastVerifiedRuntimeStatus() in shared/runtime-host-status.ts is now the single
  definition of "the last identity the host answered with". runtime-status.ts
  already had this inline as previousVerifiedStatus and now calls it.
- The mirror-target reader asks the shared connection verdict instead of
  entry.status, gated on isDisconnectedRuntimeHostState -- only the one exit
  verdict earns a destructive read, per docs/reference/ssh-execution-boundary.md.
  'checking' and 'reconnecting' are unverifiable, not evidence of an exit.

Holding the target through the outage would strand the mirror on its own: the
subscription is installed by the effect in use-web-session-tabs-sync.ts keyed on
useRuntimeSessionMirrorEnvironmentKey(), a stream 'end' frame is dropped without
resubscribing, and the parking layer retries only a rejected subscribe call. The
teardown was the recovery. So regaining contact now advances the connection
epoch, giving recovery its own "the host is back" trigger rather than leaving the
mirror to be restored as a side effect of having been destroyed.

The connection epoch is not the runtime session: a same-runtime return fires no
restart hook, no provider session bump, and no toast.
