9e8a3a5c67 fix(repos): stop reporting clones that never ran as successful (#23770)
* fix(repos): reuse a saved project only when git shows it's this clone

A saved project outlived its folder, so Clone reported success without running git.

Fixes #23563

* fix(repos): let a repeat clone of an empty repository reuse its project

A clone of a repository with no commits leaves HEAD unborn, which
`rev-parse --verify HEAD` rejects exactly like the `refs/heads/.invalid`
HEAD a killed clone leaves. The saved-project check read both as "not a
finished clone", so cloning a brand-new empty repo a second time — a
double-clicked Clone, a re-run `orca project setup-clone`, or #2981's
queued retry — fell through to git and died on "destination path already
exists and is not an empty directory".

Ask the two questions apart when `--verify` fails: `symbolic-ref HEAD`
resolves an unborn branch but not a killed clone's HEAD. It is already on
the relay's read-only allowlist. Probes also short-circuit once the clone
is cancelled, so no probe after Cancel spawns git.

* fix(repos): prepare the worktree root after re-cloning a project's folder

The branch that re-clones into a saved project's folder returned the
project without the two steps every sibling branch runs: the worktree
root that vanished with the deleted folder is never re-created, and the
authorized-roots cache keeps the answers it cached while the folder was
missing. Creating a worktree or reading files in the recovered project
then fails on a root that is not there.

* fix(ssh): register the root after re-cloning a saved project's folder

`addRemoteRepoFromPath` returns an existing project before it notifies
`session.registerRoot`, which was unreachable before the saved-project
check could re-clone into a project's own path. The relay therefore never
learned the folder came back, so sessions under it stayed unregistered.
Notify from the clone, mirroring the folder-to-git upgrade beside it.

* fix(repos): say which reason refused a clone over a saved project

One message covered both "that project holds a different repository" and
"Orca has no record of what that project held", which need different
things from the user. Name the recorded URL when there is one, and say
plainly that there is no record when there isn't — the second is the case
a project predating remote-identity enrichment lands in, and the user
cannot act on it without being told why.

Also drops the `upstream` remote-name check into a named binding: `origin`
is the only stored remote that names a project's own repo, because
`Repo.upstream` and the GitHub avatar derived from it both name the repo a
fork came from.

* fix(repos): bound saved-clone probes and prove empty clone completion

* fix(repos): keep clone validation host-scoped and locale independent
