NeilandClaude 7a912a3a24 Autosave relies on the guarded save instead of pause flags; identical saves don't rewrite; non-UTF-8 files aren't autosaved (#31768)
* Autosave relies on the guarded write instead of pausing restored or moved tabs

Delete the pendingDiskBaselineVerification and pendingLiveDiskVerification
pause flags. Every editor save is already a guarded write; a refusal raises
the changed-on-disk banner, which is what stops autosave until an explicit
save.

A guarded write now succeeds when disk changed but already holds exactly the
text being saved (local/host compare is byte-exact; client-side fallbacks
compare decoded text and refuse when it holds U+FFFD), so a restored draft
that matches disk goes clean instead of showing a banner.

The restore scan only raises the banner early for tabs that arrive dirty; a
watch resync no longer re-checks dirty tabs.

* fix(editor): skip guarded saves when disk is already identical

Return a compatible optional no-op result from hosts and client fallbacks, clean the tab, and clear its provisional self-write stamp without rewriting identical bytes.

* fix(editor): refuse lossy automatic saves, keep identical-skip on older hosts, flag dirty tabs on resync

- Autosave and pre-restart saves refuse when disk text can't be decoded losslessly, so a
  baseline that decoded to U+FFFD can't authorize overwriting different bytes.
- New files.write.identical-noop.v1 capability; for hosts with only the v1 guarded write the
  client compares first, skips identical saves, then delegates to the host's guarded write.
- Watch resync compares dirty tabs against disk and shows the changed-on-disk banner.
- Local guarded writes check for identical content before the write-only regular-file probe.

* fix(editor): tell non-UTF-8 files apart from disk changes, and quiet false resync banners

- Local guarded writes judge losslessness by bytes, so a valid UTF-8 file containing U+FFFD
  autosaves again. A file that really isn't UTF-8 is refused with its own reason, 'not-utf8'
  (older clients read it as 'changed'), which pauses autosave for that file with one notice
  until an explicit save converts it.
- A watch resync whose disk read fails leaves dirty tabs alone; the guarded save still catches
  a real conflict.
- Resync and restored-tab checks treat disk holding the tab's own just-written save as an echo.
- On hosts with only the v1 guarded write, only automatic saves read the file first; explicit
  saves go straight to the host's guard.

* fix(editor): lift the non-UTF-8 autosave pause when its edits end, and report disk changes first

- The pause is released once no dirty tab of the file remains (close, reload from disk,
  discard), so a reopened or reloaded file's next autosave asks the host again and notifies.
- Client-side precondition checks compare the signature before looking for U+FFFD, so an
  external rewrite shows the changed-on-disk banner rather than the non-UTF-8 notice.
