fix(cloud): use one reconnect presentation owner

[austinywang]

Problem

Cloud terminal reconnect could show two competing progress presentations at once: the SwiftUI Attaching to vm-… banner and the native Reconnecting Cloud session card. The duplicate UI made a prompt behind the card look connected while the reconnect lifecycle was still pending.

Change

• Make CloudTerminalOverlayCoordinator the sole reconnect presentation owner for native Cloud terminal panes.
• Remove the competing attachment banner view and its project wiring.
• Keep attachment status as the session-owned readiness projection used by startup tab loading.
• Add behavior coverage that a first presented frame transitions the unified presentation to connected and clears reconnect UI; retain existing stale-session and one-card movement coverage.

Validation

• git diff --check
• python3 scripts/swift_file_length_budget.py
• ./scripts/lint-pbxproj-test-wiring.sh
• Fleet-backed tagged build attempted with CMUX_DEV_BACKEND_MODE=off; blocked by unrelated existing duplicate declarations in CmuxTuiSurfaceProvider sources.

Closes #12536

Summary by cubic

Fixes cloud terminal reconnect showing two competing progress indicators at once by making CloudTerminalOverlayCoordinator the sole reconnect presenter for native Cloud terminal panes.

Bug Fixes

• Remove the Attaching to vm-… banner and its project wiring; the native Reconnecting Cloud session card is now the only reconnect UI.
• Keep attachment status as the session-owned readiness signal used by startup tab loading.
• Add coverage that the first presented frame transitions the unified presentation to connected and clears the reconnect card; stale-session and one-card movement coverage is retained.

Closes #12536.

^{Written for commit 0eafa93. Summary will update on new commits.}

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Reconnect messaging now clears as soon as the first remote terminal frame is displayed, preventing stale reconnect indicators.
  • Cloud terminal attachment status is no longer shown as a separate overlay; startup loading and reconnect presentation continue through the existing terminal experience.
• Tests
  • Added coverage to verify reconnect presentation dismissal after a connection is established.
  • Removed tests for the retired attachment status banner.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change removes the cloud terminal attachment banner and its project references. TerminalPanelView no longer renders that overlay. A test verifies that the reconnect presentation clears after the first terminal frame appears.

Changes

Cloud reconnect presentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Remove attachment banner Sources/Panels/CloudTerminalAttachmentBanner.swift, Sources/Panels/TerminalPanelView.swift, cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj, cmuxTests/CloudTerminalAttachmentRecoveryTests.swift	Removes the attachment banner view, its panel overlay, its Xcode project entries, and its banner-specific test.
Validate connected state cmuxTests/CloudManualMirrorPresentationTests.swift	Adds coverage for a presented first frame changing the state to .connected and removing reconnect overlay presentation.

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Suggested reviewers: lawrencecchen

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 458bc

A coordinator synchronization regression could leave reconnect UI covering a usable terminal while the new test still passes, so the focused integration assertion should be added before merge.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the problem, change, validation, and linked issue. However, it omits the required Demo Video section, review-trigger block, and checklist, and it does not state what was verified manually.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The PR addresses part of #12536. It removes the competing attachment banner and verifies that a presented first frame changes CloudManualMirrorPresentation to .connected, which clears reconnect presentation. Existing tests also cover retry cancellation, transport failure, stale-session fencing, and daemon protocol compatibility. The PR does not add reconnect-latency instrumentation or measurement. The available test changes do not cover deletion or app-restore behavior. The complete diff therefore does not establish all coding acceptance criteria in #12536.

Resolution

Add reconnect-latency instrumentation and automated failure-injection assertions with before/after measurements. Add automated coverage for deletion and app restore, and show that terminal availability before stale endpoint metadata, retry, cancellation, and existing-daemon compatibility remain correct.
