OrcaWinandOrcaWin 9ba293cb74 fix(mobile): keep relay runtime recovery alive without direct connectivity (#12374)
* fix(mobile): keep relay runtime recovery alive without direct connectivity

A phone paired over the relay whose direct LAN endpoint is unreachable
(e.g. a Tailscale IP with Tailscale off) could lose the runtime channel
permanently: the reconnect controller's recovery gates parked with no
timer and no logs, the supervisor snapshotted relay credentials once at
start (dying silently if the read failed and dialing stale tokens after
rotation), and the only path that cleared a rejected-credential gate
required a working direct connection. Field symptom: home card shows
"Connected - Orca Relay" (or "Can't connect - check Tailscale") while
the host page sits at zero worktrees forever.

- gates (fresh-credential, external-signal) now arm a slow 60s reprobe
  instead of parking; each gated attempt re-reads the durable credential
  bundle and adopts it when its version is fresher than the rejected one
- supervisor start no longer dies for the process lifetime when the
  initial Keychain read fails or the bundle is expired
- every recovery decision now reaches logcat and the in-app connection
  log ([relay] lines); previously the whole relay dial path was silent
- direct-return probing extracted to mobile-direct-return-probe.ts,
  credential selection to mobile-relay-credential-selection.ts

Regression suite mirrors the field failure (rejected outer credential,
unreadable bundle at start, expired bundle, E2EE rejection without a UI
nudge) plus real-rpc-client failover integration tests; the four
deterministic scenarios fail on the previous code.

* fix(mobile): adopt durable relay credentials by outcome, not version

Adversarial review caught two blockers in the version-comparison rule:
renewals extend expiresAt without bumping current.version, and a re-pair
restarts the version counter — both left the durable bundle unadopted
and reproduced the original outage. Selection now adopts the disk bundle
exactly when it yields a dialable (unexpired, non-rejected) credential
while memory does not, which also keeps revoked versions unresurrectable.

Also from review: the gate reprobe cadence now escalates 60s -> 15min
ceiling with 0.75-1.25x jitter (no fleet phase-alignment, no permanent
one-minute beacon); clearing a gate drops its timer, pending tick, and
cadence so an orphaned reprobe cannot swallow the next fast backoff; the
reprobe tick token is only minted while its gate still holds; and a
merely missing/expired bundle uses a plain cooldown instead of the
fresh-credential gate so it cannot force rotations on direct reconnects.

New regression tests (all red on the previous code): renewal without a
version bump, re-pair with a restarted counter, orphaned-timer backoff
swallowing, escalating gated cadence, and background/foreground recovery
after an E2EE rejection.

* fix(mobile): reset gated relay cadence on app resume

Review round 2: an escalated fresh-credential gate kept its cadence
across background/foreground, so reopening the app could wait out a
15-minute tick (measured 11.25min to first attempt after a 2h
background) — indistinguishable from the outage itself. A resume now
resets the streak even when it cannot lift the credential gate, and a
successful direct connection does the same in resetForDirectConnection.

Also: the streak now advances once per fired tick instead of once per
armed-delay computation (three arms per cycle escalated 60s -> ceiling
in ~7 minutes instead of the documented eight steps); delay computation
is a pure read.

* fix(mobile): rotate relay sessions on resume expiry, not attach deadline

Live phone verification of the failover fix exposed a second defect the
old latch had been masking: the relay-hello's leaseExpiresAt is the
cell's attach-reservation deadline (now + 10s for resumes,
credential-store.ts:213 server-side), but the supervisor scheduled
proactive rotation from it with a 30s margin clamped to 1s — so every
relay runtime session force-replaced itself ~1s after connecting
(measured every ~2.5s on device, 253 dials per 5 simulated minutes in
the red test). Any RPC slower than the cycle could never complete,
which is the "Worktree list unavailable" symptom.

The session now captures resumeExpiresAt from the hello (updated by the
resume confirmation) and rotation keys off it. Test fakes previously
used a 120s lease, which is why no suite ever reproduced the loop; they
now mirror the production 10s attach deadline, and a churn regression
holds one session across 5 minutes with direct unreachable.

* fix(mobile): clamp lease rotation delay on both ends

Adversarial review of the resume-expiry rotation fix caught an int32
setTimeout overflow: production resumeTtlMs is 30 days, and
30d - 30s = 2,591,970,000ms exceeds INT32_MAX, so Node (and vitest's
fake timers) clamp the timer to 1ms — 3001 relay dials and credential
writes in 3 simulated seconds, ~2500x worse than the churn being fixed.
The delay is now clamped to [60s, 6h]: the ceiling makes overflow
unreachable regardless of server TTL (a harmless re-resume every 6h on
long sessions), and the floor bounds any bad deadline to one forced
rotation per minute instead of a sub-second loop — which also disarms
the Math.max(1000, ...) landmine for return-unchanged-grace resumes
whose stored expiry can be arbitrarily near.

Also from review: getLeaseExpiresAt is renamed getAttachDeadlineAt (it
had zero production callers left; the plausible name is how the churn
bug happened), the expired-vs-missing bundle cases now log distinct
strings, and both test fakes use production constants (10s attach
deadline, 30-day resume TTL) — fictional fake values hid all three
defects in this subsystem. The four forced-rotation lease tests are
retimed to the 60s floor with direct pinned unreachable so return
probes cannot race their windows.

* style(mobile): merge duplicate imports in relay failover test

* style(mobile): use T[] array syntax in credential selection
