* fix(terminal): size the pre-Enter wait to what the host actually ingests The Windows agent-prompt submit delay was a flat 1_500 ms frozen from the client's process.platform at import. Measured on two real Win11 hosts, ConPTY ingests a bracketed paste linearly at ~0.009-0.010 ms/byte, so the constant was both far too long for a 2-8 KB prompt (14-89 ms of real cost) and too short past ~145 KB — at 160 KB one host took 1_499 ms, meaning Enter landed mid-paste, exactly the corruption the delay exists to prevent, up to the 16 MB input ceiling. Replace it with getTerminalPasteIngestMs(platform, byteLength) and derive every pre-Enter wait from it: - open-loop fallback = 500 ms settle + ingest bound, uncapped - claude/codex render gate cannot start its quiet window before the ingest bound elapses (an agent that repaints mid-ingest could otherwise satisfy marker-then-quiet while ConPTY was still feeding the paste), and its 8 s hard cap now sits on top of the ingest bound instead of standing in for it - the plain terminal.send suffix path, which had an undocumented flat 500 ms The rate follows the host that owns the pty transport, not the client: a WSL pane is spawned as wsl.exe behind the Windows pseudoconsole so it still pays ConPTY, while an SSH pane follows the relay's reported remotePlatform. Also swap the inter-chunk setTimeout(0) for setImmediate. It cost a full ~15 ms Windows timer tick per 16 KiB chunk (~0.95 s/MB) while pacing ~1.07 MB/s — 11x above ConPTY's drain rate — so it never provided backpressure; the event-loop yield it did provide is preserved. * fix(terminal): stop double-charging paste ingest in the render gate The render gate's hard cap is armed twice -- once at arm() and again when the show-cursor marker arrives -- but it re-added the whole ingest window each time while the ingest clock itself runs once from gate construction. A marker seen mid-ingest pushed the cap out by a second full ingest term (~34 s instead of ~24 s for a 1 MB prompt on ConPTY). Capture the ingest deadline absolutely and arm with what is left of it. Also thread the request AbortSignal through terminal.send so the now payload-scaled suffix wait can be cancelled: at 16 MB it runs ~262 s, well past the CLI's 60 s request budget, and previously nothing stopped the eventual Enter. Cleanups: a pty record's connectionId is only ever an SSH target id, so the wsl: relay-id guard in getPtyWriteHostPlatform was dead; and hoisting action.text removes both non-null assertions in writeTerminalAction.
