* fix(ssh): re-arm remote file watches when the provider reconnects Remote file changes stopped being detected over SSH until the file was reopened. The watch pipeline itself was fine — nothing ever re-established the subscription after the transport it was made on went away. Two paths left an editor tab permanently stale: - A reconnect kills the relay's watch registrations, and the previous provider's unwatch handle belongs to the dead transport. - A connect slower than the 60s retry window made installRemoteWatcher give up for good; first deploy to a new host far exceeds that. Neither recovered, because installRemoteWatcher is only reachable from the fs:watchWorktree handler, the retry timer, and the removal-restore path, and the renderer only issues a watch for newly added targets. Reopening the file just re-read it — the watcher stayed dead. Give the layer that owns the transport the job of re-arming: registerSshFilesystemProvider now notifies subscribers, which covers both establish and reconnect since registerProviders runs on both. The watcher keeps the intent to watch in a registry that outlives any single connection, and on registration drops the stale entry (installRemoteWatcher treats an existing entry as installed and would otherwise hand back a watcher that can never fire), reinstalls, and emits overflow so consumers resync the gap. Intent is dropped on unwatch and sender destroy so a closed tab is never resurrected. Verified over SSH to a Rocky Linux 10 host: after the reconnect that previously killed it, a remote append lands in the editor in ~2s with a live remote watcher process, and a second edit in ~1.5s. * fix(ssh): drop watch intent when a remote worktree is removed A removed worktree kept its entry in the intent registry, so a reconnect landing before the renderer's unwatch would re-watch a deleted path — 60s of retries against the host and then a bogus overflow. Also covers two reinstall cases: several senders on one connection must collapse onto a single relay watch (and all of them resync), and a destroyed renderer must not be reinstalled. * fix(ssh): resync when a reconnect's watch only lands on a retry The reinstall emitted the overflow only for listeners whose first install returned 'installed'. If that attempt failed — relay-watcher.js still spawning on the fresh transport, a transient fs.watch rejection — the 1s retry restored the watch but never signalled the gap, so everything that changed while the transport was down stayed invisible: the STA-2525 symptom reappearing inside the fix for it. Thread the resync intent through the retry record so the overflow lands when the retry does. All pre-existing callers default to false, so the watch/terminal-error/restore paths are unchanged. * test(ssh): cover the resync merge when a fresh watch claims the retry slot The `resyncOnInstall ||=` merge was uncovered: removing it left every existing test green. It is load-bearing — if a second renderer joins the reinstall's failing install and reaches the retry slot first with resync=false, the whole chain stays false and the retry restores the watch without ever signalling the gap. New sibling file rather than an append: filesystem-watcher.test.ts is ~10 counted lines from the 800-line lint cap, and AGENTS.md forbids a max-lines disable.
