Neil f801a8447a fix(session): stop two hosts sharing one workspace-session bucket (#17912)
* fix(session): stop two hosts sharing one workspace-session bucket

A worktree id is `repoId::path` with no host component, so a repo registered
on two execution hosts publishes the same id for two different workspaces
(STA-4343). buildHostIdByWorktreeId folded every such id into the 'local'
partition, so the two workspaces shared one tabsByWorktree bucket and the
host that wrote last erased the other's rows for good.

A contested id now resolves to one deterministic primary host (local when it
is a claimant, else the lowest host id — stable, so the primary does not move
as the user navigates). On hydration, entries other claimants hold in their
own partitions are parked in a shadow that never reaches renderer state, and
every write re-attaches them to their own partition, so a write for the
primary can no longer take a co-claimant's session down with it. A parked row
is dropped only when the catalog positively re-attributes the workspace.

Known gap, documented in workspace-session-host-contention.ts: the unified
renderer session still holds one bucket per bare id, so both workspaces
display the primary's tabs. Closing that needs host-qualified keys through
the tab store.

* fix(session): carry parked contested rows through full partition replaces

attachHostSessionShadow skipped a parked field when nothing else routed to
the co-claimant's slice. That is correct for the patch path (an omitted
field leaves the partition untouched) but wrong for persistWorkspaceSessionByHost
and the quit snapshots: setHostWorkspaceSession replaces the whole partition,
so the omitted field erased the very rows the shadow exists to protect.
The attach now takes the write mode and, on a full replace, seeds the
missing field with the parked rows.

* fix(session): decide a contested id's partition once, at read time

Review found the read and write paths deriving the primary from different
domains. The read picked it from which partitions held the key (SSH rows live
in the 'local' blob, so SSH reads as local); the write picked it from the
claims catalog, where SSH is `ssh:*`. For an ssh+runtime contest the claims
sort `runtime:` first, so the write sent the SSH workspace's rows into the
runtime partition and attachHostSessionShadow then skipped restoring the
runtime's own rows because the key was already present — a cross-host copy
worse than the shared bucket this branch set out to fix. The same disagreement
copied a row across partitions whenever only a co-claimant had it saved.

The read now records the partition every restored key came from and the
routing honours it, so rows go back where they live. A claims-derived owner is
only a fallback for keys the read never saw, and it is computed over distinct
PARTITIONS: 'local' and every ssh host share one blob, so a claimant set that
collapses to a single partition keeps its normal routing. A stale record loses
to a positive catalog re-attribution, so adoption still migrates a workspace.

Also: build the runtime owner map from the post-extraction slices, so a row
parked out of the renderer session no longer names its host as owner and
startup stops building runtime placeholders for the local row that was kept.
Drop the unused isContestedWorktreeId export.
