Neil 2cc34de756 fix(editor): keep an unresolvable mirrored file tab open with a truthful terminal state (#21375)
* fix(editor): keep an unresolvable mirrored file tab open with a truthful terminal state

A host-mirrored file whose read keeps answering `selector_not_found` used
to sit on the raw code forever (and, in the reverted #21363, was closed
outright, discarding drafts). `selector_not_found` is the host's "could
not resolve right now", not proof the workspace is gone, and the file-read
path has no definitive absence code.

Bound the retries as before, then swap in a truthful terminal message
with Retry and Close tab. The tab is never closed automatically; Close
routes through the unsaved-changes queue so a dirty draft is confirmed.

Fixes #21041

* fix(editor): classify selector_not_found by RPC code, not message text

Preserve `RuntimeRpcCallError.code` on `FileContent.loadErrorCode` and gate
the host-unresolved terminal transition with `hasRuntimeRpcErrorCode`, so a
host that sends `{ code: 'selector_not_found', message: 'Selector not found' }`
reaches the same truthful state as one that puts the bare token on the
message. Also drop the Close action on inline conflict-review rows, which
are not open tabs and would have been a dead control.

* fix(editor): localize the host-unresolved copy by sentinel, and pin the token matcher

Separate the terminal state's comparison key from its display text: the
retry hook stores `WORKTREE_HOST_UNRESOLVED_CODE` on `loadErrorCode`, and
the error view localizes by that code (`editor.fileLoad.hostUnresolved`),
so translating the message can never break the terminal check. Export the
selector_not_found matcher and cover near misses (case, suffix, prose,
wrong code) so only the defined token classifies.

* test(editor): name the it.each parameter for the host answer it labels

* fix(editor): drop the load-error Close action; closing stays with the tab strip

The Close button routed through `requestEditorFileClose`, which skips the
pinned-tab and shared-reference checks the tab strip applies, has no
listener outside the Terminal workbench (floating editor panels), and on
the conflict-review overview could target an unrelated open tab whose id
is the same absolute path as a synthesized inline row. Rather than
reimplement the tab strip's close semantics in a second place, the error
view keeps Retry and its copy points the user at closing the tab.

* fix(editor): reword the host-unresolved copy and namespace its sentinel

The copy no longer points at a Close control that is gone ("close this
tab from the tab strip") and no longer claims a scan is in progress, since
`selector_not_found` is also thrown synchronously for unregistered folder
workspaces and removed repos. The sentinel becomes
`editor_host_workspace_unresolved` so it cannot be confused with the CLI's
`worktree_host_unresolved` client error. The doc comment narrows the
"no definitive absence code" claim to git worktrees and names the two host
codes that are definitive but not yet classified.
