A remote-paired terminal tab flickered several times per second between the
agent's generated title with a running status and a plain "Terminal" tab
reading "Done - Claude", because two writers owned the same state.
The paired client derives agent status from the terminal byte stream, but every
host session.tabs snapshot rebuilt the mirrored tab without the client's
generated title and re-decided status by comparing `updatedAt` stamps taken on
two different machines. The host also read a neutral live title ("Terminal") as
proof the agent had finished, synthesised a `done` entry, and dated it with the
pane's last-output time — so the host frame advanced with every output byte and
always looked newer. Neither writer could win, so the UI alternated forever.
The fix removes the second writer instead of arbitrating two clocks:
- new renderer-owned-agent-status-registry: a pane claims authority where
shouldOwnAgentStatusInRenderer is decided and proves it on the first
byte-derived write; registration returns an identity-checked release so a
superseded mount's late dispose cannot strip a live pane's claim
- mirror keeps a fresh client-owned entry (overwrite and delete paths) while
still adopting host identity fields; host `blocked`/interactivePrompt states
pierce the fence because they only reach the host over its HTTP agent hook
- mirrored tabs carry the client generatedTitle, and unified tabEqual compares
generatedLabel so the two label surfaces cannot diverge
- host projection: only shell/management title evidence may downgrade a
published status to `done`, and the identity-only fallback is dated by its
title evidence instead of pty.lastOutputAt
Purely local and plain SSH panes have a single writer and are unaffected.
