Neil bd09db8a07 fix(runtime): reconcile three branches' handle-gap verdict rules into one loop
Three agents changed `recordExpiredWait` on three branches and each verified only
their own. This is the union, resolved into the agreed shape and proved on one
tree. The rules are NOT alternatives — they have different safety properties, and
flattening them to one scope is wrong in both directions. Both wrong shapes were
independently written before this was reconciled, so the comments say why.

GENERATION rule, per key across EVERY environment (adv2-skew's class).
`hasHostMirrorHandleWaitExpired` compares a row against its own environment's
CURRENT generation, so a row whose generation has moved can never return true for
anybody; retiring it cannot cost a reader a verdict, whoever owns it. Scoped to
the recording environment, an environment that reconnects and then goes quiet
strands its rows forever.

TAB-DEATH rule, recording environment ONLY (my class). Row absence is transient
where a generation is not: a sibling mid-republish has no rows for a frame and
would lose a verdict its pane still needs — reproduced before it was narrowed.

Teardown drain (adv2-races' class) is unchanged and orthogonal: it is the only
trigger that fires for a REMOVED environment, whose rows no rule above reaches
because such an environment records no further verdict. Right predicate, wrong
trigger.

The union suite proves all four orphan classes simultaneously, plus the two
properties none of the three rules may break: the verdict stays sticky enough to
break the park/expire/replay loop, and no rule evicts a verdict a live pane still
needs. It uses three environments throughout, because with two at one generation
the candidate rules are indistinguishable and the naive fix survives.

THE FOURTH CLASS IS UNOWNED AND ASSERTED AS A HAZARD. A retracted tab id that is
republished inherits the old pane's verdict and skips its own wait. Unlike every
other gap on this map it is NOT conservative: the others drop a verdict and
re-park, holding longer, while this one retains a verdict and resumes on a handle
that has not landed — the #19735 direction. No rule reaches it: the tab-death
predicate stops matching once the id is republished, the teardown drain fires on
environment teardown rather than tab retraction, and no waiter exists to observe
the retraction because a pane holding a verdict never parks. Closing it needs a
fourth trigger, on row retraction. The suite pins the current behaviour so it
cannot be quietly forgotten.

Union finding, recorded rather than merged: adv2-skew's
`docs(relay): the live-broker wait budget does not bound the call` (6b029820cc)
is SKIPPED here. It documents the unbounded wait, and adv2-concurrency-fixes
(1673716c6d) fixed exactly that by extracting the loop into
relay-live-broker-wait.ts. The doc and its test pin behaviour the union no longer
has. This is the kind of interaction neither branch could see alone.
