Jinwoo Hong de7a2d24f9 Phones get main's tab order, groups and names after every layout change (dark, layout-owner build only) (#31529)
* fix(session-tabs): a windowless layout-owner server lists and pushes main's tab groups and order

With the layout-owner switch on and no window (orca serve, orcad), session.tabs rows came from
the snapshot hydrated from the saved session; main's layout was merged in only when a window
published. A routed reorder or Move to Split reached main's layout but not session.tabs.list or
the phone. Main now merges its layout into the rows it holds on each layout change and before
each list, with the same merge a window publication gets.

* refactor(session-tabs): keep the windowless merge with main's publisher, under the file's line cap

* WIP

* fix(session-tabs): every stored tab row follows main's layout, with or without a window

With the layout-owner switch on, the one writer of the rows phones read now merges main's
layout into every write for a workspace main owns, and main re-merges the held rows after
each layout commit on any host. A CLI rename, create or close reaches phones without a
window publish, and a row main's layout dropped cannot come back from an older snapshot.
A write that main's layout wholly overrides stores nothing, so list calls on settled rows
bump no version and push nothing. A pane's own title now counts as a manual name.

This commit also untracks a local vitest config and a scratch test that the previous
work-in-progress commit picked up by mistake.

* test(session-tabs): a rebuild from the saved session and a CLI rename keep main's groups and names on phones

* fix(session-tabs): the row writer only reorders and regroups; layout commits add main's new rows

With the layout-owner switch on, the one writer of the rows phones read now takes only main's
tab order and groups. It never adds or drops a row and never replaces a terminal id, so a
freshly started terminal keeps its id and rows the exit filters removed stay removed.

After each layout commit, on any host, the held rows take main's new rows, names and order,
keep any row main's layout lacks (closes are the close path's job), and pass any added
terminal through the same exit filters the window path uses. A main binding that runs nowhere
no longer replaces a running terminal's id. Both read main's last projection, so neither
adds a session read per write or per workspace.

A CLI close still leaves its row until the dropped-leaf hook lands; its test is marked as an
expected failure until then.

* test(session-tabs): the row writer's order and a commit merge's keep rules, unit by unit

* fix(session-tabs): a kept row keeps its group, and an unchanged commit pushes nothing

A layout commit's merge placed a row it kept (a tab main closed, until the dropped-leaf hook
removes it) by its row id, but groups list a terminal by its tab, so the row fell into the
active group. Both the writer's reorder and the merge now place rows through one shared
group-placement step keyed by the tab.

A commit now pushes only when the writer stored something. The writer skips a write only
when it keeps the stored occupant, publication and retirement proofs. A terminal row a commit
rebinds also passes the exit filters, a main binding the host saw exit no longer replaces a
running terminal, and a binding main made before its terminal connected reaches the rows when
it connects.

* test(session-tabs): a kept row's place and the no-push commit are separate tests

* fix(session-tabs): a rebuild with a new publication stamp is still skipped; simpler commit merge

The writer's skip compared publication stamps, but a rebuild from the saved session mints a
new stamp from the clock each time, so every rebuild minted a version and pushed. It now
stores only for a different workspace instance or new retirement proofs; an absent one keeps
what is stored.

The commit merge again runs the exit filters only for added terminal rows (they admit any row
the held rows list, so a rebind changed nothing), and a terminal connecting now schedules the
merge itself rather than a separate check, since an unchanged merge stores and pushes nothing.

* refactor(session-tabs): a commit merge pushes after every store again; name the window-path exit test

No reachable case was found where a commit merge's rows differ from the held rows while the
writer keeps the stored ones, so the extra "only when stored" check had nothing to guard and
goes. The exit-rule test now says it covers the window's publication path too.

* fix(session-tabs): a window reload's new publication stamp is stored, not skipped

The writer skipped a write that main's order wholly undid without comparing publication stamps,
so a window reload that republished the same rows under a new stamp kept the old one. The
reconciler then saw its accepted stamp missing and asked the window to republish on every sync,
and a host-built stamp could stay on window rows. The skip now treats stamps as unchanged only
when both are host-built, so repeated rebuilds from the saved session still mint nothing.

The windowed test of a row main's layout lacks also replays the window's older snapshot.
