Reconnecting an SSH worktree could add terminals the user never opened.
`restoreReattachedPtyRuntime` calls `Store.persistPtyBinding`, which is a
*creating* write: when the lease's leafId is absent from the durable layout
it splits the root and grafts a new leaf, resurrecting a pane as a side
effect of reattaching its PTY.
Add `persistPtyBinding(args, hostId, { mayCreate: false })`. The predicate
already existed inside the function — `terminalMembershipChanged` is set by
the four creating branches and only those — so the mode reuses it and the
function's own `restoreSession()` rollback rather than duplicating a
non-creating writer. Both flush points are guarded, including the legacy
non-terminal-leafId early return.
A refusal is deliberately non-destructive: it skips `registerPty`, leaves the
lease `detached`, and retires nothing. An absence in one durable store can
justify "do not create"; it can never justify "destroy" — the local partition
is not trustworthy as proof of pane deletion, because writes are dropped for
the duration of a reconnect's snapshot apply and a pane can be live on screen
having been restored from the remote host.
Reorder `persistPtyBinding` before `registerPty`, since `registerPty`
publishes a mobile surface and would otherwise create the UI a refusal
exists to prevent. A persistence *throw* still binds: under `mayCreate:
false` the refusal check precedes both flush points, so reaching a flush
proves membership did not change and the pane exists.
Part 1 of 5, ordered by blast radius. This commit can only decline to
create; it destroys nothing and ships safely on its own.
