Subject: [PATCH] fix(cli): label the worker-read PTY verdict as terminal
 liveness

The line printed the PTY verdict with the same word the fleet verdict uses, so a
live pane holding a dead agent read as "Liveness: live". It is now
"Terminal liveness", with "Agent liveness" printed from the fleet projection
when the receipt carries one.
