Jinwoo Hong 6f607fae7f fix(ssh): let terminate reach remote PTYs the app gave up reattaching (#12642)
Every SSH reattach failure abandons the remote terminal without shutting it down, and abandoned terminals then became structurally unreachable — excluded from reattach enumeration and, critically, filtered out of the user-facing "Terminate sessions" action, so a user could not kill them even manually.

The core problem is a naming trap: `expired` never meant the remote shell died. It means the app gave up reattaching. It is written on reattach failure, on spawn-time expiry, and in bulk by a relay reset inside a `finally` that runs even when the force-stop threw. So the leases most likely to name a still-live orphan were exactly the ones the terminate path excluded.

This change is reachability only. Expired leases are now reachable by an explicit user-initiated terminate, with the relay's response used as evidence: a shutdown that reports the PTY gone tombstones the lease, and leases already proven terminated are left alone.

**No automatic kills were added.** Every abandon path was enumerated and none of them proves abandonment: attempts-exhausted knows nothing (the relay never answered), identity mismatch means a *live* PTY belongs to a different pane so killing it would destroy someone else's terminal, and not-found is the one branch with real proof of death — where the process is already gone and needs no shutdown. Per the rule that unprovable liveness never authorizes destroying a session, the abandon paths deliberately leave the process running.

Relay-side automatic collection of unattached PTYs is deliberately NOT implemented: the relay cannot distinguish an abandoned terminal from a deliberately detached one, and the unlimited default grace exists precisely so long-running work survives disconnects and host sleep. Any bounded reaper would be killing on absence of evidence.

Verified: 3 tests red on main. Negative tests assert each abandon path leaves the shell running and the lease terminable, proven real by mutation — adding a shutdown to the exhausted branch or expiring on identity mismatch each turns them red.

Fixes STA-3376.
