Neil c558d7e083 Activate terminal splits before inherited CWD resolution (#17601)
* perf(terminal): activate splits before cwd resolution

* test(terminal): prove split focus before cwd publish

* fix(terminal): release stale split cwd fence

* test(terminal): add visible split activation latency benchmark

* docs(reliability): clarify split benchmark provenance

* fix: preserve deferred split handoffs across remounts

* fix: fence late deferred split closes

* docs(reliability): record exact split benchmark runs

* test(reliability): fail benchmark on artifact write errors

* test(reliability): attribute split activation phases

* docs(reliability): record schema-v2 split benchmark

* refactor(terminal): collapse duplicated split-handoff and write-queue paths

- Drop the discardDeferredSplitPaneHandoff alias for its identical clear twin.
- Fold the deferred-cwd resolve/reject settle handlers into one applier.
- Extract settlePaneCwdDeferredSpawn for the repeated read-clear-write pattern.
- Share one head-index FIFO primitive between the ordinary and reply queues.

* fix(terminal): stop retaining a promise reaction per acknowledged write

Racing every accepted write against one queue-lifetime cancel promise kept a
reaction record alive until that promise settled: 200k acknowledged writes
retained 88.6MB, now 0.1MB. Give each in-flight write its own cancel, and
split the shared FIFO primitive into its own module.

Also sanitize the split-latency benchmark report at its single serialization
point so shared artifacts no longer carry the machine-local repo path or
unbounded cleanup error text.

* fix(terminal): settle deferred split input when the spawn is abandoned

An abandoned deferred spawn returns before transport.connect(), so nothing
drained the pre-connect buffer: sendInputAccepted's promise never settled and
a paste into that pane hung forever. Clear the buffer on the abandon fence.

Also re-derive the pre-connect retention cap from the clipboard-paste ceiling
rather than the 16MB single-write ceiling; it is held twice per pane across up
to 64 deferred splits, so 5.59M code units guarded the wrong thing.

* fix(terminal): release the deferred cwd fence on a rejected reattach

A daemon createOrAttach can turn an apparent fresh spawn into a reattach; when
that reattach is refused the spawn ends with deferredSplitSpawn/pendingCwd
still set, permanently arming the pre-bind detach refusal. The release no-ops
when a PTY did bind, so it only fires where the fence would otherwise leak.

The stale-generation return above is deliberately left alone: a newer connect
already owns the pane there, and the fence is not generation-scoped.
