Subject: [PATCH 10/29] feat: plan Cloud layout writes against the daemon graph

The daemon only rearranges existing panes with workspace.layout.apply, so
membership changes are planned first: split for a missing pane (scratch
terminal), tab.move for placement, then the full layout document.
A simulated daemon verifies convergence for the #15770 3+1 arrangement,
tab moves, reorders, ratios, collapse and nested splits.

Subject: [PATCH 11/29] fix: write native Cloud layout edits to the machine

Local tab moves, drag splits, reorders and divider drags in a bound Cloud
workspace were never sent to the daemon, so the next graph update re-applied
the machine's stale layout (the #15770 collapse). Every native layout edit
now converges the daemon workspace, holding native reconciliation until the
machine has accepted it. Layout rebuilds also keep each pane's selected tab.

Subject: [PATCH 12/29] fix: write only user layout edits and tolerate
 membership races

Review follow-ups for the Cloud layout writer:
- write only when the native tree differs from the baseline recorded at the
  last machine apply or write, so resizes, restores and programmatic changes
  never overwrite another client's arrangement or hold reconciliation;
- keep machine tabs this Mac has not projected beside their neighbors and
  drop native tabs the machine closed, instead of stalling for seconds;
- ignore local views (Cloud Desktop, port previews) when extracting the tree;
- force the post-write refresh, replay lost pane.split responses with the
  same idempotency key, close scratch terminals outside cancellation, and
  bound the whole sync by a deadline;
- keep focus on the previously focused pane when reselecting per-pane tabs.

Subject: [PATCH 13/29] fix(bonsplit): restore the submodule pointer main's
 sizing code needs

#15747 moved vendor/bonsplit back to b32f48b while main still uses the
terminal-size-presence API (TabContextAction.sizeToMyWindow, TabPresence),
so main does not compile. Same pointer as the pending #15930; 83857fa
contains b32f48b.

Subject: [PATCH 14/29] ci(ios): fetch routing history blobless so detection
 fits its timeout

detect-ios-changes fetches full history of every branch and tag on
pull requests inside a five-minute job. On Blacksmith runners that fetch
alone reached the limit, the step was cancelled, and the required
ios-tests aggregate failed with no iOS code involved (PR #15786 hit it on
several heads). Routing only runs merge-base and diff --name-only, which
need commits and trees, so the checkout now uses filter: blob:none.

Subject: [PATCH 17/29] fix(dev): apply concurrent-index migrations outside
 transactions

The GCP development backend runs migrations on startup, but drizzle-kit wraps every migration in a transaction and PostgreSQL rejects CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY. Share a local migration runner between bun db:migrate, DB tests, and the tagged backend so startup can complete safely while preserving atomic transactions for ordinary migrations.

The web migration lane must use the local runner for CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY migrations, and the latest main branch's tests still call the removed drainMainQueue(timeout:) overload. Keep both migration passes safe and preserve the timeout-aware test helper for existing suites.
