Jinwoo Hong b85597cbfa fix(serve): restore a remote server's browser tabs after it restarts (#28166)
* feat(serve): keep browser tabs across an orca serve restart

A host with no window now saves the browser tabs it opens in the same shape a
desktop window saves its own, and restores them the same way: listed at once
with their last address, each page started when a client first opens or
drives it. A closed tab is forgotten; a page that ends with the process is not
a close.

* test(e2e): the server's published strip now holds its saved browser tab

* fix(serve): save browser addresses cheaply, open once, restore by page id

Review fixes: a page's address is written onto its saved records without
reloading the layout, and only on committed navigations; reopening a saved
page writes nothing; a command naming only the page finds the workspace that
saved it; a refused save no longer throws from a page event or a close. The
browser-tab map is renamed to say it lists saved tabs too.

* fix(serve): list, switch and close saved browser tabs from commands that name no page or worktree

* fix(serve): a tab list does not start saved pages; only a command acting on a page does

* fix(serve): a pageless command starts the browser tab the layout shows, not the first saved one

A host now records the browser tab a window would show: the one it just
opened, and the one a tab switch picks. With nothing running, a command
that names no page starts that tab; when the layout shows none it starts
nothing and reports no browser tab open.

* fix(serve): report the saved active browser tab as current

Claude-Session: p2-headless

* chore(ratchet): count the serve browser-tab save as a main-process layout writer

Claude-Session: p2-headless

* fix(serve): use the window's active browser tab rule, one scope, one active row

Claude-Session: p2-headless

* fix(browser): pick the active tab among tabs this host can start

A desktop document page or a remote page recorded as active no longer leaves a
pageless command with no tab. Adds a test for the first-saved-worktree scope.

Claude-Session: p2-headless

* refactor(browser): restore saved serve tabs through the page wake point

Saved serve browser tabs now start where a window would mount them: the two
existing wake helpers ask one host hook before messaging a window. The offscreen
backend reports opened and moved pages, so the command layer no longer threads
save, list, select or close hooks. No worktree named and no page running reports
no tab, as a window does.

Claude-Session: p2-headless

* fix(browser): only page creation opens a saved serve tab

A navigation now only updates an existing saved tab, so a late load after a close
cannot re-add it; a restored page sends no open, so its saved title stays.

Claude-Session: p2-headless

* refactor(browser): drop the restore mark the open/navigate split made redundant

Claude-Session: p2-headless

* refactor(browser): save serve tabs from the create command, list unstarted ones as tab rows

The create command saves the tab (it holds the group), so the backend reports only
navigations. Unstarted saved tabs are tab-info rows the existing listings take
as-is, the restore dedupe map goes (a created page registers before createTab
returns), and one lookup gives a page's unified tab id.

Claude-Session: p2-headless

* fix(browser): opening a serve browser tab no longer records it as active

Which tab shows is a view's choice; after a restart the active tab is the one a
window recorded, else the first.

Claude-Session: p2-headless

* fix(browser): give the composed browser command owners the saved-tab host member

Completes the forward merge of main's browser command split (#27576).
