Jinwoo-H 16e06f2c3d refactor(mobile-web): make the terminal stream's reply authority a host fact
`inputFloor` and `queryReplyAuthority` on the shell->page terminal stream were both
literals the shell fabricated ('held' / true) on every subscribe. Traced each to what
the desktop host actually publishes.

inputFloor: deleted. The desktop's mobile input floor is claimed lazily at write time
(RuntimeTerminalDriverController.beginMobileInputFloor, from terminal-input-delivery)
and is never published on subscribe or on any stream event. Opcode 17 WriteUnavailable
is a per-write refusal with no regain frame, and the mobile-web shell does not even
advertise writeUnavailable:1 in its subscribe capabilities, so it never receives one.
'read-only' was therefore unreachable and canSendInput reduces to the hostReady flag
the scheduler already tracks. The scheduler's own invisibility reset (setVisible(false))
is the real revocation path and still clears hostReady, so behaviour is unchanged.

queryReplyAuthority: kept, renamed queryReplyNegotiated, and sourced from the host. The
host already echoes capabilities.queryReply:1 on the multiplex 'subscribed' frame (the
Rule 2 handshake for opcode 18), and the shell already reads it into
record.supportsQueryReply. That echo is a negotiation, not the election verdict --
isMobileTerminalQueryReplyAuthority is re-evaluated per frame on the host and never
sent -- so the old name asserted something no host computes. Made optional in the
shell->page schema: absent means a shell that predates the field and cannot prove
negotiation, so the page must not attempt a reply. No new host->client field was needed.

Also fixed the downgrade this exposed: when the host had not echoed the capability, the
shell sent the reply bytes under opcode 0 (Input). Those hosts strip inputKind and take
reply bytes as floor-taking shell input -- the exact hazard
TERMINAL_QUERY_REPLY_INPUT_RUNTIME_CAPABILITY documents and the native path already
drops for. The shell now drops instead, and the page stops sending in the first place.
Lease-only streams publish queryReplyNegotiated:false; they negotiate no output
multiplex and every input request on them already fails not_found.

Metadata events carried the same two fields and are never emitted by the shell today;
both are gone from that event, leaving it the displayMode carrier it is.

Compatibility: host->client is untouched (no new field, no changed frame). shell->page
is branch-local; the new field is optional and the page's tolerant parse reads absence
as not negotiated.

Tests: page reads an omitted queryReplyNegotiated as false; the shell reports false and
drops the reply when a host omits the capability echo, and true when it sends it.
