Neil eff317939a fix(terminal): mount one surface per workspace id in the workbench (STA-4846) (#17432)
* fix(terminal): mount one surface per workspace id in the workbench (STA-4846)

* test(terminal): pin the workbench projection against under-selecting

Losing a surface unmounts live terminals, which is worse than the
duplicate mount STA-4846 fixes, so cover every catalog shape that reaches
the workbench: local-only rows that name no host, an unqualified row
colliding with a host-qualified one, two SSH hosts on one id, folder rows
across three hosts, folder ids alongside git worktree ids, and a
whole-catalog assertion that the emitted id set equals the distinct input
id set. Also pin the `useAllWorktrees` -> `useWorktreeMap` swap: both read
the same WeakMap-cached snapshot, so the zustand compare is unchanged.

Harden the folder tie-break to require the row to name its own host.
`getCatalogOwnerHostId` defaults an unstamped row to `local`, which would
let a row that never named a host win the `local` tie and mount another
host's path; it now keeps first-wins instead of guessing.

* fix(terminal): surface the unresolvable folder-surface collision

When two hosts publish the same folder-workspace id and the active workspace's
host cannot be resolved, the projection drops one row's folderPath first-wins.
That path is the PTY cwd for any tab without a startupCwd, so the drop was
silent. Warn on it, and pin the two tie-break branches the unit tests missed:
a colliding row that is not the active workspace, and the same collision with
the rows in swapped order (a host reconnect re-appends its rows, flipping which
row is first mid-session).

* test(e2e): ride out Playwright's spurious main-process evaluate rejection

`e2e / changed e2e specs` failed on `pr11346-selected-runtime-add.spec.ts`
with "Execution context was destroyed, most likely because of a navigation"
from the paired client's first `app.evaluate` — the isolated-HOME assert that
runs one millisecond after `electron.launch()` resolves, which is before the
app is `ready`. Nothing navigates there: Playwright raises that message for
any main-process CDP failure that is neither a JS error nor a closed session,
and `ElectronApplication.evaluate` is unreliable on Electron 27+
(microsoft/playwright#33737). Reproduced locally, and a plain re-run of the
same commit went green.

Extract the retry `installTerminalPtyWriteSpy` already carried for this exact
message into `retryTransientMainEvaluate`, and use it for the launch-time home
read in all three launchers. The read is idempotent and a real boundary escape
still throws on the first successful read.

Also forward the paired client's process logs before the assert instead of
after: this failure reached CI with none of the client's own output, because
forwarding had not started yet.

* test(e2e): wait on the owning group before asserting a Cmd-J browser tab is active

`changed e2e specs` then failed at the remote browser-page step: the store poll
had already seen `activeBrowserTabId` land on the mirrored workspace, but
`[data-tab-id=...][data-active="true"]` never appeared. `data-active` on a
`BrowserTab` is the strip's active tab, which comes from the owning group's
`activeTabId` — not from `activeBrowserTabId` — so the DOM assert was racing an
activation the poll never waited for. The simulator rows in the same spec
already poll the group; the two browser-page rows did not.

Poll the same triple for them, so a genuinely stuck group fails with the ids it
ended on instead of a bare "element(s) not found".
