OrcaWinandm4air 0b812bd698 feat(relay): route relay handlers through work admission; producer publication drain (#24181)
* feat(relay): route relay handlers through RelayWorkAdmission

First consumer of the T1 work-drain seam: every request and notification
handler registered on the relay dispatcher now runs under RelayWorkAdmission,
and the dispatcher exposes beginWorkDrain(exclude?) and
assertActiveWorkContext(context). RequestContext gains an optional
transportGeneration, stamped from client.generation for both requests and
notifications, so later producers can pin publication to one transport.

Behavior today is unchanged: nothing in production calls beginWorkDrain yet
(the shutdown/reset caller is T3), so admission never closes.

Decision: pty.cancelDelivery joins the drain request allowlist. #16741 omits
it. It only retires an existing source delivery (closes the ledger record,
releases retained spans, wakes the publication so it drops its record), it
cannot open a delivery or produce output, and a retry replays the remembered
proof instead of mutating again. It is the request-shaped sibling of
pty.ackData / pty.setDeliveryPaused, which are already allowlisted. Refusing
it during a drain would make the client's cancellation proof fail
(ssh_source_cancellation_proof_invalid) and leave the delivery retained until
detach, turning a provable cancel into an unverifiable one. Revisit only if
live ownership transfer (T7, deferred) needs a frozen source ledger.

Porting note (source: #16741 head a68b6f3531, merge-base 277c289bd4; T1 per
the track manifest):
- Taken verbatim: dispatcher-client-state onRequest/onNotification wrapping,
  beginWorkDrain, assertActiveWorkContext; dispatcher-contract
  transportGeneration; dispatcher-rpc-routing generation stamping.
- Adapted: RelayWorkAdmission.run is no longer an async function. It returns
  the handler's own promise and tracks completion on the side, because an
  async wrapper adds microtask turns to every relay response and broke
  existing tests on this base that await one turn after feed()
  (workspace-session-handler, pty-handler ownership/retired-surface).
  Refusal and sync throws still surface as rejections.
- dispatcher-work-drain.test: kept the four dispatcher-only cases; replaced
  the two RelayGraceLifecycle.prepareShutdown cases with dispatcher-level
  equivalents (initiator exclusion, copied/settled context rejection); dropped
  the real-shutdown case (prepareShutdown/finishShutdown is T3). Added cases
  for transportGeneration stamping and pty.cancelDelivery during drain.

Wire compatibility: no new RPC fields, methods, or opcodes on the wire.
transportGeneration is relay-internal. Once a later track calls
beginWorkDrain, a refused request gets an ordinary JSON-RPC error
(-32000 relay_work_admission_closed) and a refused notification is dropped,
which old and new clients already handle as a failed call.

* feat(relay): settle producer notifications and add the producer publication drain

Second T1 consumer slice: relay producer publication can now be proven, not
just enqueued. publishProducerNotification takes optional onSettled,
settledTransportGeneration and isStillAdmitted, and settles exactly once on
every path (sink completion, disposal, missing client, PTY admission refusal,
capacity refusal, serialization failure) while keeping its existing boolean
return and throw contract. assertSettledProducerTransport refuses a replaced
or closed client generation and a sink without write callbacks.
RelayProducerPublicationDrain builds on the landed TransportPublicationDrain:
each publish is counted until its local write completes, and the drain fails
sticky once the owner's authority or the transport generation changes, even
for frames already queued behind backpressure (isStillAdmitted is rechecked
at dequeue through the frame codec and producer transport).

Existing producers (watcher events, agent hook envelopes, workspace
snapshots) pass none of the new options and behave as before. The drain has
no production caller yet; the browser network tunnel (T4) is its first.

Porting note (source: #16741 head a68b6f3531, merge-base 277c289bd4; T1 per
the track manifest):
- Taken verbatim: dispatcher-client-writer supportsWriteCallback,
  dispatcher-frame-codec publicationAdmission, dispatcher-producer-transport
  isStillAdmitted plumbing, dispatcher-notification-publication settlement,
  relay-producer-publication-drain, and both tests
  (relay-producer-publication-drain.test, dispatcher-producer-settlement.test).
  These files were unchanged on this base since the merge-base, so the
  upstream hunks applied cleanly.
- Adapted: nothing needed; the new code uses no Promise.withResolvers or
  Bun APIs, so it stays within the relay bundle's Node 18 floor.
- Not in this slice: fs/git stream shutdown, ws-transport /
  node-websocket-lifecycle / websocket-transport-limits, renderer
  flow-controller deltas (later T1 slices).

Wire compatibility: no new RPC fields, methods, or opcodes. Settlement,
generation checks and admission are relay-local; a client of any version
sees the same notification frames it does today, and a frame refused by the
new checks is simply not sent, as a capacity refusal already is.
