Jinwoo Hong e05c69fe8f fix(session): at startup, a local copy never overrides an SSH-owned workspace's own copy (#26098)
* fix(session): at startup a local copy never overrides an SSH-owned workspace's own copy

Rows the local partition holds for a workspace whose repo the catalog places on
an SSH target are residue (pre-#19572 builds, relay reattach). Startup used to
keep them whenever they held a tab and skip the SSH partition for that
workspace, dropping live tabs, restoring closed ones and erasing agent-resume
records on the first save. Boot hydration now drops those local rows (keeping
open files and visit recency) so adoption takes the SSH partition whole.

* refactor(session): let adoption take a catalog-owned SSH workspace instead of pre-filtering local

Replaces the sentinel-partition split with one rule in adoption: the base's
terminal tabs no longer keep out the partition the repo catalog places the
workspace on (contested ids keep today's behavior).

* fix(session): an SSH-owned workspace's records win under shared keys; unsaved local drafts survive

Addresses review: a stale local tab sharing an id with the SSH tab kept its
layout and resume records (fill-only), and a replaced open-files row dropped
local-only unsaved drafts.

* fix(session): an SSH copy with no tabs never replaces local tabs

Addresses review: an owned workspace the SSH partition holds no tabs for keeps
today's rule, so its empty tab row cannot wipe the local tabs.

* refactor(session): drop a superseded local copy before adoption; publish path passes owned ids

Simplifies the rule: for a workspace the catalog places on this SSH host,
uncontested and with host tabs, the base's rows are dropped and the existing
gap-fill adoption runs unchanged; unsaved local drafts survive. One resolver
says which workspace each scoped entry belongs to, shared by the census, the
drop and adoption. The upload path (persistedSessionForTarget) now passes
owned ids too, so main cannot publish the stale local copy to the host.

* fix(session): match host tab rows by workspace id; a local draft beats a clean host entry

Addresses review: a host tab row under a workspace key now counts toward
superseding the local copy, and a local unsaved draft for a path the host
holds clean is kept instead of dropped.

* fix(session): scope catalog-owned ids to the ssh partition the catalog names

A workspace homed on one SSH target with leftover rows in another target's
partition no longer has the owner's adopted rows removed by the leftover's
pass.
