* fix(browser): only pixel-capturing commands wait for the page to be drawn

Every targeted browser command used to take an automation-visibility lease,
which waits for two desktop-window animation frames (capped at 2 s). When the
desktop window is minimized or throttled, that wait always hits the cap, so
each phone tap or agent command stalled for up to 2 s (STA-8024).

Input, page JavaScript, layout and accessibility snapshots all work on a
hidden page; only pixel capture needs it drawn. The lease is now opt-in via
`needsPaint` on the two commands that can capture pixels through this path
(`exec` passthrough and `pdf`); `ensureVisible` is removed. Screenshots keep
managing their own lease.

(Commits 24821ae and 07b4a09 carry this change under WIP messages.)

* refactor(browser): drop the session-recreate option only no-lease commands used

Only exec and pdf take the automation-visibility lease now, and both create an
agent-browser session, so the lease's re-registration path always recreates
the session. Remove the `recreate` option from restartSessionForTarget and the
options passthrough that fed it. Also fix the keypress test comment that still
counted the lease's extra page lookup, and note that screenshots lease inside
the screenshot lock.

* fix(browser): resolve a command's page when it runs, not when it is queued

Enqueue resolved the page's guest webContents and created its session up
front. Before this PR every command re-resolved after its lease, which hid
that; now a command queued behind exec/pdf, whose lease can re-register the
page with a new guest webContents, would run against the old one.

Enqueue now only picks the page (and so the queue). The webContents lookup
and session setup move into the queued job and run when the command starts,
after the lease for exec/pdf.

The lease path's refresh collapses into that step. Resolving after the lease
already sees a re-registration that happens during the lease, so the only
thing left from the refresh is the case where the page's existing session is
bound to an older guest: that session is restarted on the new one (keeping
intercept routes) and the active-tab pointers move with it. That check now
covers every session-backed command, not only leased ones.

Admission is still checked at enqueue and again when the job starts.

* refactor(browser): drop the session-restart reconcile no page can reach

Every renderer re-registration of a page with a different guest goes through
browser:registerGuest, which calls onProcessSwap in the same tick. That
destroys the page's session and rejects its queued commands, so by the time a
queued command runs, no session can still be bound to an older guest. The
reconcile in the queue and restartSessionForTarget, its only caller, are
removed along with the two tests that called it directly.

A queued command now resolves the page's current guest, ensures its session,
and runs. The re-registration tests now report the swap through
onProcessSwap, as production does: commands queued behind the swapping lease
are rejected with browser_tab_closed, the leased pdf runs on the new guest,
and intercept routes survive the swap.
