Skip no-op state writes and bound save postponement in persistence (#7092)
* Skip no-op state writes and bound save postponement in persistence

orca-data.json (1.6MB live) was fully rewritten (pretty-print + tmp +
rename) on every debounced save even when the state content had not
changed - measured 3 rewrites/min (~5MB/min) on an idle production
instance, and a sync-flush storm of identical multi-MB writes at every
warm start via persistPtyBinding re-binds.

- Content-hash guard in both writers: a save whose plaintext state hash
  matches the last successful write skips serialize+write+rename
  entirely. Hashing plaintext (not the payload) because encrypt() uses
  a random IV per call. Safe under flushOrThrow's durability contract:
  a matching hash means the file already holds exactly this state.
- Debounce 300ms -> 1s trailing with a 5s max-wait. The old timer reset
  on every mutation with no bound, so sustained sub-interval mutation
  bursts could postpone the write indefinitely; now staleness is capped
  at 5s while bursts coalesce.

* Guard the state-hash against sync-flush interleaving mid-rename

From adversarial review: an async writer that had already passed its
generation check and dispatched the rename could have a sync flush
interleave during the await, write fresher state, and record its hash -
the async continuation then clobbered lastWrittenStateHash with a value
describing content NOT on disk, making later saves (including the quit
flush) silently skip. Re-check writeGeneration before recording.

Twin edge: a hash-matching sync flush could skip its write while a
stale dispatched rename lands afterwards, leaving stale content
unchallenged. flushOrThrow now forces the sync write whenever an async
write chain was in flight at entry, restoring the sync-write-last disk
ordering.
