Brennan Benson de94a21fca fix(agent-launch): carry an agent's first prompt on its own command line
A launch prompt for an agent whose CLI takes one could still be pasted into
its screen once it looked ready: the host pasted any prompt whose typed line
was over 512 bytes or held a newline (outside short-lined zsh), and the
desktop's generated-prompt launches started the agent empty and pasted. A
paste can lose text, land its Enter on a startup dialog (Codex's update
prompt), or wait seconds for the agent to look ready.

Where a launch prompt rides is now decided in one place, the startup-plan
builder (carryLaunchPrompt), for every launch path:
- on the agent's command line, which the previous step stages when the line
  is too long or multi-line to type;
- in a private launch file the line points at, when the prompt is past
  16,384 characters, sensitive, or one a Windows shell would damage (a
  control byte; on PowerShell a ", a %NAME% pair or a trailing \; past cmd's
  8,191-character cap). The execution host writes it before typing the line,
  quoted for its shell, and grants Claude a read of its directory. A failed
  write refuses the spawn with a Copy-prompt notice;
- pasted once the agent is ready only for an agent that takes text after
  start, a prompt needing a launch file its agent is not measured reading
  (only Claude and Codex are), a reused terminal, and a paired host, which is
  sent a command and never a file.

This replaces the host's typed-line check (512 B, or zsh with every line
<=512 B and <=8 KiB), which existed because nothing staged a long line.

WSL writes its staged line and launch file into the distro and runs the line
in the account's own login shell (sourced in bash, zsh and sh, eval'd in fish,
through /bin/sh in ksh), with ~/.cache/orca made 0700 first.

The "prompt wasn't sent" notice with Copy prompt lives here, shared by the
new agent tab, background draft, paste timeout, work item and new workspace.

Rebuilt on the restacked staging step; the earlier version sat on a base
that carried #23748.
