Jinwoo-H c4e9f7ec65 fix(terminal): let provenance alone decide the takeover, on every accepted write
A phone older than client.type sends no client metadata, and both stream
initializers derive isMobile from that metadata alone, so such a subscription
reported false and took the stream lane's uninstrumented branch: provenance was
computed and then never consumed. Bytes from a real person landed through both
frame adapters and the resource stayed owned, so workerRelease closed the PTY
under them. The unary lane already fenced that population off the pane's mobile
driver, which is the host's standing reading of clientless input, so the two byte
lanes disagreed at the destructive boundary.

The predicate was still subordinate to floor plumbing: it could only be consulted
where a floor client id existed. Now the accepted-write callback attaches on both
lanes regardless of whether a floor was reserved, and humanInput alone decides
recording; a write holding no claim commits nothing. Arbitration keeps its own
condition around reserveWrite, where it belongs, and the unary lane's duplicate
outer provenance filter is gone. The stream lane reads clientless provenance from
the pane's driver, the same policy the unary lane uses.

The claim holder is now TerminalInputWrite, carrying the verdict beside an
optional floorClaim, so the structure says what the doc said: a write may fence
without holding the floor.

Regressions drive both real frame adapters, clientless direct delivery, and the
paired-web desktop negative. Metadata-only provenance fails 3 on the stream lane
and 1 on the unary lane; gating the callback on a reservation fails the same 3.
