Neil 41cd20f35b fix(runtime): a handle-gap verdict answers for its pane, not for the tab id
Folds adv2-skew's e8cac056d7 into the reconciled union. Closes the fourth orphan
class, the only one that was not conservative: a retracted tab id republished as a
different pane inherited the old pane's verdict and skipped its own wait — the
#19735 direction rather than a longer hold.

It needs no fourth trigger, which is why it composes with the three drains rather
than competing with them. Every trigger those rules own fires downstream of the
moment this hazard needs. The verdict instead carries the environment-minted PTY
binding its pane held AT PARK TIME, and only answers for a pane that still holds
it: a republished pane binds a newly minted PTY and serves its own wait, while a
genuine reattach to the same PTY inherits, which is correct — the verdict follows
the PTY, not the id. A transient rowless frame touches neither, so the read-time
check is safe where a retraction-triggered prune would not have been.

TWO MEASUREMENTS, both requested rather than assumed.

1. The record-then-release ordering is load-bearing and IS pinned. `recordExpiredWait`
reads the waiter's park-time binding, so it must run before `releaseWaiter` deletes
the entry. Swapping the two statements fails three cases, so the capture is not
correct merely by accident of statement order.

2. The `''` fallback is a MATCH VALUE, not a null: two panes that both hold no
environment-minted PTY compare equal and inherit, which is the same hazard in a
narrower window. Measured unreachable through the production park path rather than
assumed — the only route in is `kind: 'handle'`, which `findUnhydratedHostMirrorForPane`
reports only when `tabHoldsEnvironmentPtyBinding` finds a binding, reading the SAME
map through the SAME predicate as `paneBindingFor`. It now refuses to answer anyway.
That coupling is two functions in two files with nothing enforcing it, refusing costs
only a re-park, and the direction is conservative.

THE REFUSAL IS WHAT FOUND THE REAL BUG. With `''` matching, any fixture that omits
`terminalLayoutsByTabId` records `''`, compares `'' === ''`, and passes while the
pane-identity check is entirely inert. Making it refuse turned that silence into
four failures across host-mirror-handle-gap-drain and -teardown, whose fixtures seed
no layout binding at all. Both now bind per environment — one shared environment id
filters every other environment's pane back to `''` and restores the no-op.

Mutation-tested on the merged tree: ignoring the binding fails case D and the
mid-wait case; re-reading at expiry fails the mid-wait case and nothing else;
letting `''` match fails the empty-binding case; widening the tab-death rule across
environments still fails the live-verdict case, so pane identity does not weaken the
scoping the sweep was reconciled around.

Also fixes a real-clock race this branch introduced: the revoke-window test read
`Date.now()` separately from `enqueue`'s own stamp, and under load the drift ate
into the window. It now anchors the injected clock to the item's `createdAt`.
