* feat(agent-launch): accept a create-folder-workspace target agent.launch can now create a folder workspace and start its agent there, the same operation it already runs for a new git worktree. The host creates the folder workspace (metadata only, no startup terminal), resolves it the way an existing target is resolved, then settles the mode and builds the surface as for any existing folder workspace. Hosts advertise agent.launch.create-folder-workspace.v1 so a client offers the target only to a host that accepts it. * fix(agent-launch): authorize, classify and navigate folder creates like their create method A create-folder-workspace launch could do three things its two-call equivalent never did: - A phone could create folder workspaces. The mobile allowlist admits agent.launch but not folderWorkspace.create, and is checked by method name only. A create target now needs the authorization of the create method it stands for, read from the same allowlist, and a phone is refused with agent_launch_target_forbidden before admission, so no ledger row and no create. create-worktree maps to worktree.create, which phones already may call, so nothing changes for it. - A create refused before anything was stored (group gone, folder missing, SSH host unreachable) replayed as agent_session_operation_unknown, and a retry under the same operation id was refused until the row expired. runtime.createFolderWorkspace now raises those refusals as FolderWorkspaceCreateRefusedError, with the same message text, and the launch records it as failed for any target. A failure after the create still replays unknown. - A paired caller's folder create activated the new chat on the host window and did not select the caller's own tab. Only create-worktree, whose host activation runs setup, keeps the host navigation now; a folder create navigates like an existing workspace. Tests cover the phone refusal, replay of a success, a refused create settling failed and replaying that failure, an after-create failure staying unknown, an SSH connection reaching the agent's view mode, paired navigation, and an older host refusing the target at parse. * fix(agent-launch): replay a refused folder create with its whole path A folder create refused before anything was stored is recorded as the launch's failure, and a retry under the same operation id answers from that record. The record went through the 128-character cap every launch failure code gets, and folder refusals carry the folder's absolute path, so a retry could show the user a path cut short: a different folder. The refusal is now recorded whole when it fits a path as long as Linux's PATH_MAX after its code. Past that, which no folder a stat accepts reaches, only the code before the path is kept, so the replay degrades to the bare code instead of a partial path. Also: the controller test asserts the exact refusal message, the create-folder-workspace capability comment says a phone needs its own gate, and the forbidden-target code says why it is not `forbidden`. * test(folder-workspace): type the controller test's store stub without an assertion The changed-code quality gate refuses the `as never` cast on the stub store. It is now a RuntimeStore whose unreached members throw. * test(agent-launch): run the folder-create launch tests in the Node runtime project The operationId replay tests open the real SQLite record store, so the file belongs with the other ledger-backed agent.launch tests. * test(agent-launch): pin that a paired folder create's terminal stays off the host window The folder-create test now asserts surfaceOwner: false on the terminal a paired caller's launch creates, rather than matching any options. The caller-selection header now says only an in-process worktree create keeps worktree.create's navigation. * test(agent-launch): drop the per-connection view-mode expectation main removed
