475f63ea1b fix(remote): scope renderer throttling to paired terminal publication (#11581)
* fix(remote): unthrottle host renderer while serving a paired client

A paired desktop host left in the background could not open or close
agent sessions for its remote/relay client: the action stalled and
eventually failed with the host-side "Timed out waiting for terminal
surface after creation" (10s) error, while an already-live terminal's
keystrokes stayed fast.

Root cause: creating/closing a session routes through the host
renderer's setTimeout-coalesced graph sync to publish the terminal
surface, but the host window runs with Electron background throttling
(the hidden-window default, reaffirmed on macOS). When the window is
backgrounded/occluded, those renderer timers are throttled to a crawl
and the surface publication misses the 10s deadline. Live keystrokes are
unaffected because PTY I/O flows through the main process, never the
renderer.

Keep the authoritative renderer unthrottled while at least one remote
client is connected and restore the throttled power-saving default once
the last one disconnects. Connect/disconnect are driven from the shared
MobileSocketWiring onReady/onClose, so both direct-WS and cloud-relay
clients are covered; headless serve has no window and is a safe no-op.

* refactor(remote): tidy renderer-throttle comment and test per review

Address automated review nits on #11581:
- Trim the module-level rationale comment to the non-obvious contract,
  matching the repo's concise-comment guideline.
- Drop the dead `detachedThrottle` variable from the reapply test; the
  detached-target scenario is already covered by the lazy-resolution
  test, so the case now asserts only what it exercises.

No behavior change.

* fix(remote): scope paired terminal publication throttling

Keep headed paired terminal creation and close renderer-owned so host inventory, input routing, ACK recovery, and cleanup retain the established lifecycle. Hold a reference-counted background-throttle lease only while the renderer publishes a paired operation, and epoch-fence async resolution so renderer reloads reject before any request or PTY spawn. Preserve headless main ownership and prevent paired clients from falling back to a local terminal.

* test(e2e): verify minimized host terminal repaint

* fix(remote): preserve paired terminal inventory through graph gaps
