* feat(agent-launch): host-assigned caller identity and a launch record written when the surface exists Step 1 of the agent-launch unification, on main. - The dispatcher stamps every request's caller from what its connection proved (runtime socket: the local CLI; the desktop's IPC: the desktop; a paired socket: its device). Params never set it. - The launch record is written twice: once when the tab exists (what creation settled: on the launch command, a draft, or a submit still `unconfirmed`), and again once the prompt's fate is known. A restart in between finds the running agent instead of answering "unknown". - A replay re-derives its terminal handle from the pane key in the running host, and shows `unconfirmed` only to callers that advertise agent.launch.prompt-unconfirmed.v1. - The record store opens in its own slot, without building the chat host; the chat host is built on that same store. Rebuilt from this PR's own commits (b9adf88da0,0d7d9b5b30,c83f44dd72,39d15d52c0) onto main, without #24080/#24081. Conflicts: the delivery doc table (main's "line fits" row plus the `unconfirmed` row), and main's journal-database open in install(), which now goes through the record-store slot. * feat(agent-launch): show an agent's tab at once, where the caller asked for it An agent.launch now shows its terminal tab before admission and spawn, in the requested placement (group and/or anchor tab), and the pane attaches to the agent as soon as it runs. A pane whose agent can't start, or whose start can't be confirmed, says so instead of becoming a plain shell, and keeps saying so across restarts. A user's close of the tab or its pane during the launch stops it and answers agent_launch_tab_closed. Whose view moves is unchanged from main for every caller. Rebuilt on main (with #24934) from the previous branch head8f62858e60. * feat(agent-launch): the desktop AI buttons start their agent through agent.launch Part 3 of 3 of the agent-launch unification, on main. The AI buttons (Fix checks, the source-control actions, commit/push recovery, Explain commit, notes and annotation sends, session continuation) started their agent from the window. They now ask the host's agent.launch to start it, with no prompt, into the tab the window makes at the click, under one operation id per click; the window's pane waits for the host's agent instead of spawning a shell. The window then pastes the prompt with main's own paste, moved out verbatim and started only once the host's agent holds the tab, so delivery and follow-ups are exactly main's. A typed new-tab prompt and launches while chat is the default keep main's path. The source-control dialog drops its launch-command preview, which the host builds now. * style(runtime): one-line the tab-order map so the headless browser-tabs runtime stays under its line limit The merge of main (#25724's emitMobileSessionTabsSnapshot metadata) plus this branch's close mark put the file one line over max-lines. Formatting only. * fix(agent-launch): watch an AI button's agent for readiness from its first output The window started watching for the agent's ready signal only after the host answered agent.launch, so an agent that had already turned on bracketed paste by then was never seen ready and its prompt waited out the readiness budget. Readiness is now watched from the moment the tab's terminal exists, as main watches it; the paste is written, and the chat copy seeded, only once the host says its agent started in that tab.
