Jinwoo Hong fc24ac3715 Window saves stop carrying tab and pane layout; main keeps its own (dark, layout-owner build only) (#30282)
* fix(layout): an SSH pane's terminal binds in its own session partition (dark, layout-owner build only)

Main keeps its own layout over a window save, so a binding only a save carries is lost. A window
or runtime spawn of an SSH pane bound in the local partition; it now binds where the pane's layout
lives.

(cherry picked from commit beb2275b45)

* test(layout): the SSH binding test uses the shared spawn commit dependencies

(cherry picked from commit 672b641897)

* fix(layout): main moves a tab between a local and an SSH workspace itself (dark, layout-owner build only)

moveTabToWorkspace across two partitions was refused as other_partition and left to the window's
save. Main now reads both partitions, moves the tabs as within one, and writes both in one durable
mutation.

(cherry picked from commit ee27a0bb07)

* chore(layout): one binding write for the partition choice; shipped builds keep their exact replaced-binding read

* fix(layout): window saves keep main's layout and give it only the window's view and facts (dark, layout-owner build only)

windowViewSaveForMain/windowViewPatchForMain replace windowSaveForMain: main's own layout joined
with the window's view, facts and carried fields, written only into the records that change. A
paired server's partition passes through. A visited workspace main holds keeps its terminal row
(D1). The P10 pending case is on.

(cherry picked from commit 0c2fc15974)

* fix(layout): the save divergence detector becomes a report-only drift check behind its log (dark, layout-owner build only)

It no longer wraps the write: it compares the window's raw save with main's layout model, and
only when ORCA_LAYOUT_SAVE_DIVERGENCE_LOG is set.

(cherry picked from commit 6bc1e5556f)

* fix(layout): tab reconcile and terminal reconnect stop writing tab structure (dark, layout-owner build only)

Main's frames draw the tab bar and rows: reconcile still returns its counts but writes nothing,
and reconnect still advertises restored terminals but leaves the rows to main.

(cherry picked from commit ef8eb625ca)

* fix(layout): a layout command main cannot apply is a logged refusal, not the window's own change (dark, layout-owner build only)

other_partition, a thrown call, and host_not_owned for a workspace that is not a paired server's
are refused and logged: a window save no longer carries the change, so drawing it would last only
until the next frame. A twin main may route to a paired server keeps today's path, as does the
first terminal's host_not_owned fallback.

(cherry picked from commit 2c513b2d10)

* fix(layout): the window's refusal code type keeps main's host refusals

(cherry picked from commit 36d46bdcc2)

* fix(layout): the quit checkpoint records only the quit capture's resume records in main (dark, layout-owner build only)

Main keeps its own resume records over a window save, so the quit capture's changes, which reach
main as async commands, could miss the quit. The capture now sends only what it changed with the
synchronous stage, and main writes them through the record-only sleep command before staging; a
wake main recorded that the window had not seen stays.

(cherry picked from commit 2a0f433c34)

* test(layout): the quit capture test builds a typed resume record

(cherry picked from commit d92d1246ee)

* chore(layout): one layout write per save handler

* chore(layout): shipped builds keep their exact quit capture

* fix(layout): the drift check compares structure only, not records main writes itself (dark, layout-owner build only)

Pane bindings and resume records, default-tab marks, closed-tab records and terminal row owners
are main's own writes; a save that has not caught up with them asks main for nothing, so they are
no longer reported.

(cherry picked from commit 93e8b2627c)

* test(layout): relaunch first-terminal cases, and the side-by-side resume case moves its tab the way the window does

(cherry picked from commit ab381332b1)

* test(layout): the relaunch case also checks a reopen that cleared read-only

(cherry picked from commit bbf3d040c8)

* docs(layout): the drift check names the record kinds it ignores

* revert(layout): drop the SSH binding partition change; SSH terminal starts are refused before any binding is saved

getProvider refuses every non-local host, so neither spawn path reaches persistPtyBinding for an
SSH pane, with the switch on or off.

* test: run A2's two real-SQLite session tests in the Node runtime project
