Drive owner recovery from a registry transition, not a 250 ms poll.

codexMonitorOwnerState maps a missing surface to .gone. The monitor then polls surface.list every 250 ms during the grace period. This keeps temporary absence and confirmed removal indistinguishable and uses timing to repair an owner-lifecycle transition. The monitor can still exit when the grace period expires.

TerminalSurfaceRegistry has registration and removal state, including topologyGeneration, but the current CLI monitor does not consume a registry transition. Expose an owner lifecycle event or generation through the CLI contract. Then represent temporary absence separately from confirmed removal and clear ownerGoneSince when re-registration occurs. Keep confirmed removal fail-closed. Test an empty-list-to-re-registration transition without timed retries.

Review comment at @CLI/cmux.swift at line 31487:
Update the owner-monitor flow around codexMonitorOwnerState to use a
TerminalSurfaceRegistry lifecycle event or topologyGeneration exposed through
the CLI contract instead of polling surface.list every 250 ms. Represent
temporary absence separately from confirmed removal, clear ownerGoneSince when
the owner re-registers, and keep confirmed removal fail-closed; add coverage for
an empty-list-to-re-registration transition without timed retries.
