Replaces this branch's second change after a plan review found it has no precedent and eight concrete failure modes. Deleted: the (hostname, path) checkout key that collapsed two repo records believed to be one machine. Orca models a direct SSH target and a paired runtime environment as different execution hosts everywhere else; that change asserted sameness by resolving strings a user typed in two places. It also dropped rows (a differing count vanished with the shadowed record), flipped with the sidebar host filter, ignored port and user so a host and a container on it could merge, tie-broke on repo-store order, was disabled in the one case Orca can prove (a tunnelled pairing answers on loopback) and fired only on coincidence, and left the visibility dialog showing state the sidebar had hidden. Its module also carried a literal NUL byte, so git classified the file as binary and the diff was unreviewable. Kept, with two corrections: notice rows still carry a host label, but the gate now counts distinct host ids rather than distinct label strings — two hosts sharing one user-facing label is exactly when the rows are hardest to tell apart — and membership is read from the unfiltered repo universe rather than the host-filtered notice candidates, so a label no longer appears and disappears with the filter. Two hosts that share a label still render the same label. Disambiguating that is a shared concern across worktree badges, host headers, and host-filter options, and needs its own design; three verification passes each found a different hole in doing it here. Follow-ups: general host-label collision, and the repo-record duplication that produces the twin rows in the first place.
