NeilandOrca 58a926170c perf(renderer): index the repo catalog compat merge and keep catalog identity (#13803)
* perf(renderer): index project host ownership on repo catalog refresh

mergeFetchedProjectCompatibilityForHost runs synchronously inside a zustand
set() on every repo catalog refresh and was O(projects x (setups + repos)):
getProjectHostIds / getExplicitProjectHostIds rescanned all setups and all
repos once per project, and mergePreviousProjectMetadata rebuilt a full
catalog repo key-set per project.

Precompute the indexes once and hand each helper only its own project's slice.
No ownership logic is reimplemented — the same resolvers run, just on
pre-sliced inputs, memoized per project object.

  200 repos    1.1 ms -> 0.2 ms   (5.2x)
  600 repos   11.2 ms -> 0.7 ms  (15.3x)
  1200 repos  43.0 ms -> 1.6 ms  (26.6x)

Verified against 4,000 randomized differential cases (duplicate repo ids,
dangling sourceRepoIds, empty-repoId and orphan setups, dropped setups,
local/SSH/runtime host mixes) comparing output element provenance and order
against the previous implementation, not just deep structure. Each of the
three index helpers was negative-controlled: breaking any one of them turns
the differential red.

* perf(renderer): keep the repo filter array identity across no-op refetches

Three fetch sites unconditionally reallocated filterRepoIds
(`s.filterRepoIds.filter(...)`) on every repo catalog refresh, even when
nothing was pruned. Six identity-sensitive subscribers select this array,
including App.tsx at the root, so every refresh woke the whole tree.

retainValidFilterRepoIds returns the input when every id is still valid;
`.every` short-circuits so the common case allocates nothing at all. It lives
in its own module rather than ui.ts: repos.ts does not import ui.ts and this
codebase has a documented circular-slice-import hazard.

The store type widens to `readonly string[]`, which takes three more
declaration edits (visible-worktrees, add-repo-skip-finalization, the setter).
PersistedUI.filterRepoIds deliberately stays `string[]`: main owns that array,
and widening it would fail the ui-state schema-parity assertion unless the zod
schema gained `.readonly()`, which Object.freeze()s every parsed `ui.set`
payload arriving from a paired client. Copy at the App.tsx IPC boundary
instead — one allocation per debounced 150ms persist, not per render.

* perf(renderer): reconcile projects and host setups across no-op refetches

mergeFetchedProjectCompatibilityForHost always allocates — sourceRepoIds is
rebuilt per project and fetched setups arrive freshly cloned over IPC — so
`projects` and `projectHostSetups` lost both array and element identity on
every catalog refresh. #13770's identity work covered only projectGroups and
folderWorkspaces.

Reconcile both at the merge's single return site (five callers) against
`previous`, keyed on what each merge already dedups by: project.id, and
getProjectHostSetupOwnerKey for setups. setup.id is deliberately not the setup
key — the repo-derived fallback sets id = repo.id, so one repo on two hosts
yields two setups sharing an id, and keying on it would splice the wrong
host's routing metadata into a row.

filterSetupsForPrunedRepoRows had to stop returning `[...setups]`
unconditionally: three callers feed its result in as `previous`, so the
throwaway copy defeated the reconcile even though element identity survived.

Rather than add a third parallel deep-equality helper, generalize
reconcileFetchedRepos (#13744) into reconcileCatalogRows and delete repos.ts's
isPlainCatalogObject + areCatalogEntriesEqual (#13770). The two were the same
algorithm modulo the null-prototype branch; the survivor takes the union of
both prototype guards, which is strictly more permissive and so can only
reconcile more, never mask a change. repos-catalog-merge-identity.test.ts and
repo-identity-reconcile.test.ts stay green unmodified as the proof.

Element-level reuse means a consumer mutating a Project or ProjectHostSetup in
place would corrupt the previous render's object, so RepoSlice['projects'],
['projectHostSetups'] and ProjectHostSetupProjection widen to readonly. That
is the safety mechanism, not polish — it caught two real in-place accumulators
(ai-vault-scope-paths and the runtime-host purge in worktrees.ts), which now
annotate mutable locals per the repo's readonly precedent. No casts added.

* test(renderer): cover repo catalog refresh identity

A dedicated file — repos.test.ts is already at the max-lines ceiling and these
are a distinct concern.

The fixture is production-shaped on purpose. A scalar-only repo reconciles even
when the structural compare is broken, which is how an earlier version of this
work shipped green while being completely inert; addedAt is pinned non-zero
because project-host-setup-projection falls back to `repo.addedAt || now`, so a
zero timestamp stamps Date.now() into every projection and nothing ever
reconciles. Every mocked fetch returns a structuredClone so identity can never
match by accident.

Every identity assertion was verified red against reverted source:
- drop reconcileCatalogRows from the merge return -> no-op-refetch identity and
  per-element reuse fail
- filterSetupsForPrunedRepoRows back to `[...setups]` -> no-op-refetch identity
  fails
- retainValidFilterRepoIds back to `.filter(...)` -> both filter-identity cases
  fail
- areValuesEqual reduced to `a === b` -> all three reconcile cases fail
- areValuesEqual forced to `true` -> all six change-propagation cases fail
- setup key switched to setup.id -> the two-hosts-one-repo-id case fails
