Jinwoo HongandOrcaWin 51ca82d028 fix(runtime): seed terminal previews and titles from restore payloads (#12579)
* fix(terminal): seed list/read records from reattach restore payloads

After an app relaunch the PTY daemon survives and spawn silently
reattaches, but the restore payload (reattach snapshot, cold-restore
scrollback, relay replay, lastTitle) arrives as a spawn RPC result and
never passes through runtime.onPtyData — the only feeder of the terminal
records behind `terminal list`/`terminal read`. Every restart therefore
left connected terminals with empty title/preview/lastOutputAt and a
zero-line read tail, blinding orchestrators that poll terminals.

The spawn flow now calls runtime.seedTerminalRestoreTail with the restore
text and lastTitle, unconditionally of the renderer-authority emulator
gate (the records are main-side only). The seed reuses the live path's
normalize/tail/preview pipeline on a capped 256 KiB suffix (re-anchored
at a line boundary so a cut escape cannot leak), only fills records that
never saw output (a remount reattach cannot re-apply history), routes
titles through the applySeededAgentStatus precedent (state writes only —
no waiters, no side-effect facts), and never stamps lastOutputAt or
waitBlockedAt: restored bytes are historical, not fresh activity.

lastTitle is threaded from the daemon reattach snapshot and cold-restore
checkpoint into PtySpawnResult; relay replays seed preview only. SSH and
runtime-controller paths are unchanged — seeding is gated on the fields
existing.

* fix(terminal): seed restore records on the controller spawn path and prime the wait baseline

Follow-ups to the restore-record seed, from independent verification:

1. The runtime-controller spawn flow (createTerminal background creates —
   headless `orca serve`/CLI — and pane splits) never consumed restore
   payloads, so the exact orchestrator-blindness this fix targets survived
   on the topology that needs it most. The extraction now lives in one
   helper called from both spawn choke points (renderer pty:spawn and the
   controller flow); the runtime's empty-record guard makes overlapping
   seeds a no-op.

2. The throttled per-PTY wait scanner starts with a null baseline, so a
   permission prompt visible only in seeded HISTORY read as newly gained
   on the first benign live chunk and stamped waitBlockedAt "now".
   Seeding now primes the scanner baseline from the seeded tail without
   stamping; only a signal appearing in genuinely new output counts.

3. Cap re-anchoring accepts \r as well as \n (newline-free CR-redraw
   streams), consuming a full \r\n pair so the seed does not start with
   a phantom blank line.
