Jinwoo Hong e3cb32791e refactor(runtime): read four agents' readiness from JSON rule files through one engine (#24348)
* test(runtime): add a readiness census pinning every tui-idle verdict

Replays every recorded agent PTY transcript frame by frame through a real
runtime pane (agent-known and agent-unknown, clocked and clockless) and a
synthetic evidence matrix for all 43 TuiAgents, and compares each verdict
and tui-idle wait outcome to committed run-length-encoded baselines.

Refs STA-9098

* test(runtime): pin the census quiet probes to literal windows

A census that read TUI_IDLE_QUIESCENCE_MS would move with it; fixed 2999/3000 ms
reads and a fixed 2000 ms poll step make a changed window show as changed verdicts.

Refs STA-9098

* test(runtime): say which census probe writes runtime state

Refs STA-9098

* test(runtime): observe the census through settled panes and caller-visible waits

- Read each verdict through the runtime's own settle seam (evaluateTuiIdleForLeaf) instead
  of re-wiring evaluateTuiIdle/leafTuiIdleEvidence/buildTerminalWaitText, so the census is
  coupled to one runtime method, not to the module STA-9098 rewrites.
- Let the runtime finish each chunk (one macrotask turn) before reading. The old read raced
  work chained on the paint, so 14 frames pinned a microtask-ordering artefact.
- Record when a wait settles (@start vs @poll), not just its outcome.
- Exit each pane's PTY after reading it so its emulator is freed.
- Replace the hand-grouped families, literal fixture list and per-pane split flag with a
  directory-scanned catalog, one baseline per replayed pane, and size-balanced shards.
- Run the synthetic matrix in one file; it takes about 2 s.

* test(runtime): cross dialog-versus-ready-screen order with every title in the census matrix

Blocked detection is position-ordered (design doc 11.5): the later of a blocker and a ready
anchor wins. The matrix now paints a workspace-trust dialog after, and before, each agent's
ready screen under every title, so a rule engine that loses that ordering fails per agent.

* test(runtime): read the census baseline field without Reflect.get

The anti-slop lint rejects Reflect.get on parsed input.

* refactor(runtime): read Antigravity, Cline, Prime Agent and Cursor readiness from rule files

Adds agent-state-rules/: a zod-validated JSON file per agent, one priority list of
screen rules per agent (idle with strength and requiresQuiet, or hold), and text
anchors that feed the shared, position-ordered blocked layer every pane reads first.

The three screen-ruled agents and Cursor's approval menu and prompt move to data;
the Antigravity text scan stays code as a named anchor. Their old code paths are
deleted. Every other agent still runs through the existing lanes, unchanged.
The readiness census baselines are untouched and pass.

Refs STA-9098

* test(runtime): cover the agent state rule engine's schema, priority, rows, anchors and lanes

Refs STA-9098

* fix(runtime): refuse rule patterns that repeat an optional or alternating group

The load-time regex check only flagged a repeated group whose body held * + or {,
so (a?)* and (a|aa)+ passed though both backtrack exponentially. A repeated
group's body must now be fixed: no quantifier of any kind and no alternation.
The comment states the remaining polynomial gap instead of claiming linearity.

* refactor(runtime): give agent state rules and text anchors one when/answer shape

Every rule and text anchor is now when (a region and what it must show) plus
answer, each a discriminated union, so part (b) adds title, text and status
regions and working or blocked answers as new variants instead of new fields.

- Cursor's prompt is two anchors answering working and idle; the one-off
  workingIfAfter and followedBy fields become a general after test.
- Anchor literals and the probe banner must be lowercase, since they are
  matched against the lowercased tail.
- screenProbeBanner moves under profile, the place for non-detection facts.
- why is required on every rule and anchor.
- A blocked anchor must name a lastOf literal, which the prefilter keys on.

* docs: point the readiness evidence docs at the agent state rule files

* fix(runtime): refuse uppercase contains terms in text anchors, which read the lowercased tail

A text anchor's after and lines tests run on the lowercased tail, so an
uppercase contains term loaded and then never matched. Build the text test
schema from the literal it accepts and give anchors the lowercase one. Also
drop a probe-banner early return that no bundled catalog reaches.
