Keep crash-recovery promotion out of persisted binding state.

bindingForCrashRecovery creates a binding with autoResume = true. Later, Lines 1686-1693 store effectiveResumeBindingForStartup in surfaceResumeBindingsByPanelId. This persists the promoted copy instead of the original manual binding.

A later snapshot can then serialize the binding as auto-resumable. This violates the restore-only contract and can change a stale or otherwise manual binding into persisted auto-resume state.

Keep the original binding for storage. Use a separate launch-only binding for approval and startup. Add a restore-then-snapshot regression test that confirms autoResume remains unchanged in persisted bindings.

As per coding guidelines, Swift architecture changes must preserve clear ownership and invariants.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Use a controlled clock for binding freshness.

These tests derive fresh and stale timestamps from Date(). The restore decision then depends on wall-clock time during the test. Inject a clock into the restore policy and use fixed timestamps relative to that clock.

As per coding guidelines, “Test code must avoid real wall-clock dependencies: use injected virtual clocks and advance them manually.”

Also applies to: 49-52, 85-89, 126-129

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Set wasAgentRunning for the auto-resume fixture.

Workspace.restoreSessionSnapshot and DockSplitStore.restoreSessionSnapshot require both the setting and wasAgentRunning to enable auto-resume. Line 1777 sets that value to false, so the trusted cases at Lines 18-80 stay manual. The unsafe and cross-kind cases also pass without exercising their intended rejection path.

Proposed fix 
-        terminal.wasAgentRunning = false
+        terminal.wasAgentRunning = true
