Jinwoo Hong ce71535bbf Layout groundwork (switched off): main starts every split and new pane, the window only attaches (#31258)
* feat(terminal): the window's store shows main's pane start status (layout-owner build)

A status-only frame changes one store entry and no pane tree, so the pane's view stays mounted.

* refactor(terminal): keep the frame sync within its line budget

* feat(terminal): every pane main starts shows 'starting' from before it is written (layout-owner build)

* feat(terminal): a pane main is starting waits and attaches; a failed start shows why (layout-owner build)

Fixes owner-visible row 15: a failed agent or setup start no longer opens a plain shell.

* test(terminal): iterate store listeners directly

* fix(terminal): an exit that reports no code keeps its pane, as lost contact (layout-owner build)

* test(terminal): a pane main started attaches to main's terminal at its own grid

* test(terminal): detach census tests assert main's move and frame with the switch on

* test(terminal): exited-pane tests assert main's close with the switch on

These 8 have failed switch-on since #31130 moved the exit close to main.

* feat(terminal): main writes and starts every split of a pane it holds; the window attaches (layout-owner build)

The window's split, a startup split with its command, and a CLI split all go through main's
terminal.split; main's frame mounts the pane, with or without a window intent. Deletes the
window's split wait and withdraw, the split appear intents, and the queued-split skip and cancel.
The e2e helper uses the real split. A startup split leaves focus on its source pane.

* fix(terminal): the attach-only wait leaves sleeping, resuming and held panes to their restore path

* fix(terminal): a split pane attaches to the terminal main bound it to; a taken pane id is refused

Also restores the proof that a split closed while it starts gets one answer and leaves no
pane or start status behind.

* fix(terminal): a window split main cannot start still shows its pane, failed, with why

* fix(terminal): check a taken pane id first, keep the start's own error, clear a gone pane's status

Three test stores gain the pane-start field the window's store always has.

* test(terminal): the admission stub answers whether its pane is still written; a closed pane's failed start clears

* refactor(terminal): the rebound workspaces' bindings show through one call in the bindings module

* test(terminal): a pane main wrote and the user closed mid-start drops its failed status

* fix(terminal): a split main starts is listed to phones and session.tabs without a window's report

* fix(terminal): a reconnect shows its pane starting and why it failed; a lost owner race shows no failure; a split no one asked to see keeps the phones' tab

* fix(terminal): a kept create another owner won shows no failure; the window attaches to the winner
