Jinwoo Hong ea60ec5d7c Layout-owner builds: a phone's tab move is always the server's own; no ghost editor tabs after restart (#31925)
* Layout groundwork (switched off): main derives agent tab titles from its own hook status

With the layout-owner switch on, main gives agent tabs their generated titles from
the hook-server status it owns, on the desktop, headless serve and orcad: one
renameTabs per status batch, so one write and one frame. It keeps the window's
rules (setting, custom and quick-command titles, first title wins, dispatch labels).
The window stops sending generated titles for tabs main holds; a paired server's
tab, or one main has no tab-bar entry for, is still titled by the window as today.

The title rules move to src/shared (agent-row-primary-text, and the new
agent-generated-tab-title-rules) so both sides share them; switch-off behaviour
is unchanged.

* feat(layout): main applies a phone's or paired client's tab move itself, and a tab move names the tab it follows so a stale index can't misplace it (layout-owner build, L193)

* fix(layout): a move in a group showing a tab main lacks goes the window's way, a twin's agent tab keeps its window title, and orcad subscribes titles through the store attach (layout-owner build)

* chore(layout): main's tab move reaches the old-client translation through its compat entry

* chore(layout): mark the window-only-row move fallback as bridge code (ledger L280)

* test(layout): attaching the hook store follows its rows for main's tab titles once

* chore(layout): the old-client move translation is a compat entry of its own, with no cyclic re-export

* fix(layout): every tab a group shows is main's, so a client's tab move never falls back to the window (layout-owner build)

- Main moves a client's tab itself in a workspace it owns; a row it holds no tab for (a combined
  diff) keeps no place, and an order must still name each row shown once (L280).
- The window publishes an editor row under its tab id only; a file no group shows gets none.
- Main's layout load gives a saved browser record with no tab its tab, as the window's hydration
  repair did, and the window no longer mints one for a workspace main owns.
- Main's layout load drops the saved tabs the window's restore drops (view-less diff, conflict and
  check tabs, old html previews), through one shared rule; the next save writes it back (L286).
- Main lists conflict-review and check-details tabs as the plain file rows the window lists, so
  older clients keep them once the window's rows are gone (L287).

* fix(lint): drop an import the shared restore rule left unused

* test: import the move translation through the folder's public path

* fix(layout): review follow-ups for the move fallback removal (layout-owner build)

- A transient tab stays at load while a view is held for its file, as the window's frame build
  keeps it, not only for its own tab id.
- The repaired browser tab goes to the saved active group only while it holds a tab, as
  selectHydratedActiveGroupId picks it; tests that the id is stable across loads and restarts,
  that a window-owned build restores it once, and that a paired server's record keeps the window's
  repair.
- Two switch-on tests keyed editor drafts by path; drafts are keyed by editorFileKey (an owned id
  in a layout-owner build), so they now use it.

* fix(layout): the repaired browser tab skips a saved active group this load empties

* test(layout): directly dialed SSH browser record is main's; a server's SSH workspace keeps the window repair

* fix(layout): drop view-less editor tabs only in loads that carry main's views, so main's own edits keep a live diff

* test(layout): a direct SSH partition gets the same browser repair and drop with no host contact
