* fix(worktree): tell the truth about live PTYs, and offer force for a wedged sweep
Two gaps in the #11960 force path:
The delete toast described every unstopped-PTY failure as "could not confirm
every terminal has exited", including the case where verification positively
watched them running. Force Delete proceeds either way, so the user was being
asked to waive a doubt that did not exist while a running agent's uncommitted
work died with it. The live verdict now gets copy that says so.
A sweep that rejects before any per-PTY verdict exists (wedged daemon, dropped
SSH channel) fails with a teardown-timeout message that the force classifier did
not recognise, so no Force Delete button appeared — the exact dead end #11960
set out to remove. That error now carries the shared prefix and classifies.
* fix(worktree): close the sweep-rejection wedge and stop racing the delete
Review of #12394 found the fix covered only half the wedge it named, and
routed users into a force path whose own safety comment was untrue.
1. Only the outer deadline was classifiable. When a provider *rejects* the
sweep — dropped SSH channel, erroring daemon — settleBeforeDeadline
rejects with the provider's original error, which carries no marker, so
classifyWorktreeForceDeleteReason still returned null and no Force Delete
button rendered. That is the exact case #11960 named. A rejected sweep on
the destructive path is now reworded through the existing unstopped-PTY
prefix (provider text preserved, original kept as `cause`), so old and new
clients alike classify it as 'unstopped-pty'.
2. Force could delete files while a sweep was still running. The deadline
rejects without cancelling run(), so allSettled resolved with shutdown()
still in flight — by construction the deadline error can only fire while
something is in flight. Force then deleted the directory a live PTY still
held open (EBUSY / half-delete on Windows and WSL). Sweeps are now tracked
so the forced path waits for the abandoned work, bounded by a 2s grace;
force never wedges, and when the grace expires the warning says handles may
outlive the delete instead of implying the sweep finished.
3. The toast test named for the classifier passed the reason in as a literal,
so it never exercised it. It now derives the reason exactly as the store
does, and fails against main.
4. Added the missing unstoppedPtyLive key to the English catalog.
5. isProvenLivePtyRemovalError anchored the 'still live:' marker to the detail
separator, so a worktree path can no longer spell out a live verdict and
flip the toast to the destructive copy.
