Brennan Benson a4532faa30 fix(workspace-cleanup): delete the active or a running-agent workspace like a sidebar delete (#23593)
* fix(workspace-cleanup): let select-all include the workspace you are in

Deleting the current workspace is allowed like any other, so select-all now
includes it; a live agent stays excluded. Cleanup removal now hands focus to a
surviving sibling after the batch, as the sidebar's batch delete does.

Linear: STA-4686

* test(workspace-cleanup): cover focus handoff after the dialog closes and after Delete anyway

* fix(workspace-cleanup): move focus off a deleted active workspace as soon as its row is gone

* fix(workspace-cleanup): don't reopen a workspace the user left while a cleanup batch runs

The per-row focus handoff fired whenever no workspace was selected, so
closing the successor's last tab mid-batch re-activated it (and spawned a
new terminal) on the next row. Move focus only when the workspace the
batch left the user on is actually gone and nothing else took focus.

* refactor(workspace-cleanup): move focus off the active workspace when a cleanup delete starts

Switch to the successor once, right after the batch rows are marked deleting, instead of
repairing an empty selection after each row settles. The active row is no longer active when
it is removed, so the store never clears the selection and no later handoff is needed.

* fix(workspace-cleanup): never hand focus to a workspace in the same cleanup batch

The scan qualifies local rows as host `local`, so their delete state lives
under a host-qualified key, while a sidebar row with no stored host only
matches an unqualified key. The successor picker therefore saw batch rows as
not deleting and could focus one about to be removed, leaving an empty screen
once it went. Exclude the batch's own ids directly.

* test(workspace-cleanup): use scan-shaped hosts in the active-workspace focus tests

Candidates now carry the `local` host the scan publishes, which is what
exposed the picker gap. The other-host case also stamps the viewed row with
its host so it resolves; before, the lookup missed and the test passed with
the host check removed.

* feat(workspace-cleanup): confirm before a cleanup delete stops a running agent

A cleanup delete (bulk, single row, or "Delete anyway") that includes a
workspace with a running agent now shows a step naming those workspaces
before anything is queued. The check reads live agent state at click time,
attributed like the sidebar so structured chats count too, and re-asks if
another agent starts while the step is open.

The approved candidate records which agents the user agreed to stop; the
per-row preflight that runs right before each delete refuses a row whose
agent started after confirmation. With the step in place, live-agent rows
join select-all like the active workspace.

* refactor(workspace-cleanup): name the agent-stop same-action check

* fix(workspace-cleanup): drop an open agent-stop step when the dialog reopens mid-batch

* style(workspace-cleanup): match the agent-stop step's heading to the delete step

* test(workspace-cleanup): type the cache-hydration mocks in the reopen test

* style(workspace-cleanup): let the agent-stop step's heading use the dialog's own typography

The changed-lines design-system gate rejects restyling DialogTitle and
DialogDescription; the delete step's overrides predate that gate.

* fix(worktree-delete): key delete state by the identity the sidebar card reads

A cleanup delete names local rows with the 'local' host, so their queued and
deleting state landed under 'local|<id>' while a card stored without a host
reads the bare id and never showed it. Every delete-state write now derives
its key from the store's own worktree record.

* refactor(workspace-cleanup): reuse the sidebar delete's focus hand-off

Drops the move-focus-before-delete path. Each confirmed row prepares the same
prepareActiveWorktreeFocusAfterDelete committer the sidebar delete uses and
runs it when that row's own removal succeeds, so the user stays on the
workspace while it is queued, lands on the most recently visited surviving
sibling once it is gone, and stays put if its delete fails.

* refactor(workspace-cleanup): reuse the close-terminal stop-agent wording

The stop step's single-agent title is the existing "Stop this agent?" string,
and its description follows the close-terminal prompt's wording.

* test(worktree-delete): cover a local-qualified removal failure on an unhosted card

* docs(workspace-cleanup): describe the after-delete focus hand-off in the bulk-select note

* fix(workspace-cleanup): name one agent in the stop step's button and keep one agent term per locale

* fix(terminal): keep starting terminals in a workspace that is only queued for deletion

A cleanup batch now marks its local rows with the same delete state the sidebar card reads,
so the terminal spawn guard sees them. The guard exists because removal just killed the
workspace's terminals; a queued row still has them and can fail its own delete and stay, so
a new terminal opened there (often the current workspace) stayed blank.

* refactor(terminal): name the teardown-started check the spawn guards share

* chore(workspace-cleanup): keep one agent term in ko/zh and refresh a spawn-guard comment

* fix(workspace-cleanup): refresh consent and focus per removal

* fix(workspace-cleanup): invalidate detected host evidence

* fix(workspace-cleanup): admit removal at transport send

* test(workspace-cleanup): expect the send-time admission callback and a published chat tab
