Brennan Benson b44a5796c1 fix(native-chat): settle a reply cut off by a server restart (#26460)
* fix: preserve streamed turn duration after host restart

* test: run restart duration regression in Node

* fix: preserve provider receipt time in journal updates

* test: verify provider receipt in Claude ownership assertion

* fix(native-chat): time interrupted turns from real provider output, not flushes

Shared-timeline checkpoints stamped the coalescer flush or retry time as the
provider's latest proof of life, so a turn whose provider died before a delayed
flush settled with an inflated duration after a host restart. Carry each delta's
receipt time through the coalescer and timeline lane.

* fix(native-chat): derive interrupted-turn duration from saved output

A reply cut off by a server restart could show "Worked for 0s" because recovery
ended the turn at the last heartbeat or the reply's first timestamp. End it at
the latest time this owner's output was saved to chat history instead, derived
in the existing journal fold from the row save time. Drops the per-frame
receipt plumbing through every provider and buffer.

* fix(chat): exclude host recovery revisions from provider activity

Mark journal-open and connection-cleanup revisions with the existing recovery
annotation so an interrupted turn does not include host downtime. Preserve
buffered provider output and advance restart fixtures to the restart clock.

* fix(native-chat): interrupt turns a replaced server left running

When the managed server died mid-reply and a new one started on the same
host, the cut-off turn settled `unverifiable` with no end whenever the old
provider's identity could not be proven gone, and nothing ever revised it:
the chat showed no turn status and the sidebar said "unconfirmed".

The new server opens the chat records holding the host's instance lock, so
every runtime that wrote them before is gone, and every provider it held
lost its pipes with it. Record that at load (the fences those runtimes
granted, the loaded owner's last renewal, how its runtime ended) and let
the stale settle end those runtimes' running or unverifiable turns as
interrupted at the owner's last saved output or renewal, with the existing
Orca-stop row. Lease adjudication and the live / unverifiable / exited
owner verdicts are unchanged.

* fix(native-chat): require the record store for any journal open that settles

Only an acquisition's open may skip it; a reader open without the store would leave a replaced server's turns unverifiable.

* fix(native-chat): say a remote host's Orca restarted, not that it was closed

A reply cut off when a remote host's Orca server stopped read "Orca on <host> was closed while
this response was in progress." Nobody closed anything there: the server stopped and Orca started
it again before the row could show. For a chat on a remote environment, cause quit now reads
"Orca on <host> restarted while this response was in progress." The desktop's own quit keeps
"was closed". Renderer-only; no wire change.

* fix(native-chat): say a remote host's Orca stopped, true for a shared desktop too

* test(native-chat): register Grok without compaction in the recovery-output rig

Main's #26502 made Grok declare compaction; the rest-test rig adapter has no compact, so the
registry refused it before any recovery case ran.

* chore(native-chat): say a replaced runtime also revises an unverifiable turn
