Adds the shared contracts for converting a desktop catalog into a dormant
managed-server catalog: the versioned migration manifest, import receipts,
dormant worktree/workspace/automation/session/client-state validation,
scrollback snapshot descriptors, migration preflight categories, catalog
state and staged-catalog normalization. Nothing calls them yet.
- The manifest is a cross-version artifact: it carries version 1 and any
other version is refused (orcad_migration_manifest_version_unsupported).
- Workspace references accept `folder:` keys alongside `worktree:` keys and
bare worktree ids; each must belong to the manifest's own catalog.
- Every list and payload is bounded: the manifest at 768 KiB, scrollback at
512 snapshots, each within the terminal store limit, 256 MiB in total and
fixed-size chunks.
- Workspace sessions are validated with main's own parseWorkspaceSession, so
the contract tracks the current session shape instead of a frozen copy.
Porting note (source: #16741 a68b6f3531):
- Adapted: production parsers no longer cast. Each structuredClone(...) as T
became a type-guard predicate that runs the same field checks; host-id
arrays narrow through isWorkspaceHostId, and manual repo order now requires
a real workspace host id, as its type always claimed.
- Split to stay under 300 lines: manifest field helpers and the automation
run field checks moved into their own modules.
- Excluded: terminal publications and live terminal bindings (T7/T8) and the
source-cutover contract (T8).

Features
Also in the box:
- Quick open — Search across worktrees, files, agents, commands, and repo context without leaving your flow.
- Account switcher & usage tracking — See Claude and Codex usage and rate-limit resets, and hot-swap accounts without re-logging in.
- Rich repo previews — Preview Markdown, images, PDFs, and repo docs in the workspace.
- Computer Use — Let agents operate desktop apps and visible UI when a workflow needs real interaction.
- Notifications and unread state — Know when an agent finishes or needs attention, then mark threads unread to come back later.
- And many, many more — we ship daily, so this list is perpetually behind. The changelog is the real feature list.
