46 commits from main. Conflict resolutions (branch structure wins, main
semantics grafted):
- pending-backlog cap (#7630): main's capPendingPtyData/droppedBacklog
2MB tail-trim EXCISED — this branch's droppedOutput sentinel mechanism
(O(1) drop + query salvage + settings-scaled cap + restore marker)
already bounds the unsent backlog and strictly supersedes it; carrying
both would race two cap policies over one buffer. Kept main's
makePtyDataPayload helper and exit-time pending flush (adapted to the
sentinel). Main's duplicate never-ACK cap test removed (covered by the
existing sentinel cap tests); its reload-gate tests kept with the
runtime mock extended.
- replay guard (#7661): main's blind REPLAY_GUARD_RELEASE_FALLBACK_MS
release dropped — this branch's probe-certified stall release covers
the same cold-restore reattach lockout without the auto-reply leak a
timed release can cause in agent TUIs. Main's three regression tests
KEPT, adapted to probe timing (explicit stallCheckMs).
- hidden-pressure scenario: kept this branch's STRICT 1500ms restore
budget (the background keep-tail global budget earns it; main relaxed
to 4s for CI drain overhead) + grafted main's timer-drift gate const.
- ssh-docker-relay-perf: kept this branch's ACK-stalled background PTY
test AND grafted main's new file-streams+git-churn test (4 tests).
- preload/renderer: droppedBacklog threading excised with the mechanism;
main's unrelated changes (ssh importConfig reAdopt, etc.) kept.
Gates: typecheck clean; ipc+daemon+terminal-pane+pane-manager suites
4,396 passed / 14 skipped.
