Replace assistant-prose heuristic with explicit turn lifecycle markers (#9121)
* Replace assistant-prose heuristic with explicit turn lifecycle markers

Extract provider-authored turn boundaries (completion, interruption) directly
from Claude/Codex transcripts so the chat view knows when work ends without
guessing from message presence. Reconciles live hook state with transcript
lifecycle: when a terminal boundary lands, it settles a dropped Stop hook
instead of letting prose mislead the UI into showing 'working' after done.

* fix(review): cover Claude terminal stop_reasons and RPC lifecycle frames

Treat max_tokens/stop_sequence/refusal as completed markers so capable hosts
do not stay working after a dropped Stop, and assert lifecycle payloads on
runtime subscribe/read frames plus mid-turn non-terminal stop_reason cases.

* test(native-chat): clarify that lifecycle field is optional

Add type assertion and comment documenting that lifecycle field is optional and can be omitted in truncation-gating test fixtures.

* fix(native-chat): settle status on interruption despite working subagent

When Claude's turn is explicitly interrupted, the session should show ready
immediately — even if background subagents are still running. Add an
interruption check before consulting the hook's working-subagents flag so
interruptions take precedence. Also normalize omitted lifecycle timestamps
to null instead of leaving them undefined, and add test coverage for both
cases.

* fix(native-chat): settle loading spinner on explicit turn boundaries

Explicit transcript turn-lifecycle markers now fully replace the prose-fallback
settlement path. Remove the now-unused `turnLifecycleCapable` flag and wire
lifecycle to suppress spinner even when hook status lingers. Refine Claude
lifecycle detection to distinguish terminal stops from mid-turn tool_use rows,
exclude harness noise from new-generation detection, and apply clock-skew slack
over SSH/relay. Serialize PTY sends per line to prevent rapid prompts from gluing
before Enter, clearing unsubmitted input on cancel. Update working suppression to
detect epoch rollovers so interrupt+next-turn without a ready gap resets the
spinner correctly.
