Subject: [PATCH] ci: reuse the headless cmux-tui build in SDK conformance

The seven-language conformance job spends about 5 of its 7 minutes
compiling cmux-tui from scratch, including on runs where nothing under
cmux-tui changed: any edit to one of the ~25 workflows in the path filter
starts it. The build reads only the cmux-tui tree, the ghostty submodule
and the pinned zig and Rust toolchains, so key the binary on exactly
those and skip the compile on a hit. Pull requests only restore; pushes
to main save.
