Brennan BensonandMerge Sim da5d555259 refactor(agent-status): delete the runtime's retained row store (PR 1b) (#19785)
* docs(agent-status): plan PR 1b at file level

Names the five RuntimeAgentRowStore call sites and what each becomes, why
terminalHandle has to be stamped before the store can go, and the one
intended behavior change.

* feat(agent-status): stamp the pane terminal handle on hook-server rows

The runtime's retained row store carried the pty binding two readers need. Put
that fact on the row that already owns the pane instead, resolved through the
same lookup the renderer-facing IPC boundary runs, so the two surfaces cannot
disagree about which terminal a pane is.

Carried forward when a later write resolves no handle (only main's OSC parse
can), and never persisted: a handle belongs to the runtime that issued it.

* refactor(agent-status): route the session-tabs republish off the store

`retain()` was not only a duplicate store: its boolean return was the signal
that republished `session.tabs` for a status-only transition, which no title
change covers (#7970). `hook-status-session-tabs-invalidation.ts` already
mirrors that change set plus hook restore provenance, so route the signal off
the store rather than keep a second comparator.

Adds the status-drop arm a user dismissal emits, which the pane-clear fan-out
deliberately skips — now load-bearing, because a dismissed row leaves the
listing at once.

Installed on both hosts. orcad had neither the OSC producer nor this signal, so
its runtime observed agent status and published it nowhere; deleting the
retained copy without wiring it would list no PTY agents there at all.

* refactor(agent-status): delete the runtime's duplicate retained row store

`RuntimeAgentRowStore` held the same payload the hook server already holds, so
the same pane could legitimately read differently in the sidebar, in
`worktree ps`, and on the phone. Both of its readers move onto the store's
snapshot in `runtime-hook-agent-row-selection.ts`, and
`collectRuntimeWorktreePtyAgentSources` loses the retained-versus-hook
reconciliation that only existed because two stores could disagree.

`ConnectedPtyEvidence` trades its flat pty-id set for `ptyIdByTerminalHandle`,
which is how a row still resolves the connected PTY behind it — the
working-terminal rollup's match key, and the last rescue for a row whose pane
binding a controller incarnation nulled under it.

The one intended behavior change: a row the user dismisses on the desktop
leaves `worktree ps` and mobile at once instead of lingering until the pty
exits. One store means one dismissal.

The suites written against the retained store are rewired to a real
AgentHookServer rather than deleted, so each still asserts the listing
behavior it named.

* docs(agent-status): record what PR 1b landed

Past tense, plus two corrections to the plan: `terminalHandle` is not the pty
id (they are different identifiers, and the explicit-status reader was already
comparing against a real handle), and the legacy numeric pane key is a
consequence the plan did not name.

* fix(agent-status): harden single-store lifecycle

* fix(agent-status): preserve mobile terminal rejoin

* fix(agent-status): preserve unverifiable remote rows

* fix(agent-status): own PTY row lifecycle in hook server

* fix(agent-status): preserve state and renew freshness

* fix(agent-status): ignore freshness for dismissed identity rows

* fix(agent-status): fence orcad observed identities

* fix(orcad): always release daemon adapter on cleanup

* fix(agent-status): cover remint and headless lifecycle edges

* fix agent status identity recovery gaps

* fix(agent-status): suppress duplicate child-only row mutation

* test(runtime): preserve hook store wiring in transcript harness
