OhOkThisIsFineandClaude Fable 5 fc1b1ee74e fix(daemon): contain zombie generations from abandoned requests, name mute endpoint holders
Fixes the 2026-08-29 daemon zombie class: a client disconnected while its
application request was in flight, the request never observed cancellation,
and runtime_worker_finish joined the request thread with no deadline. The
disconnect path wedged forever, the generation stayed formally RUNNING, and
a dead process held the endpoint pipes and UI port for nine hours while
every new client timed out with no diagnostic.

Four changes:

- runtime: the disconnect-path reap of an in-flight application request now
  waits at most RUNTIME_ABANDONED_REQUEST_JOIN_TIMEOUT_MS (30 s), then logs
  daemon.application_request_unresponsive (peer pid, request token) and
  fail-stops the process. The kernel releases every native claim and the
  next client starts a fresh generation. Test seams expose the ceiling and
  replace the terminal stop with a recordable hook.
- diagnostics: a transport connect that reaches a live process but gets no
  valid answer now resolves the holder's kernel pid
  (GetNamedPipeServerProcessId / SO_PEERCRED). `daemon start` classifies a
  mute holder as RESERVED (no doomed competitor spawns) and names the pid
  in its timeout message; `daemon status` prints "not responding (endpoint
  held by pid N)" with recovery guidance instead of "not running".
- frontend: the maintenance monitor's quiet-state poll drops from 10 ms to
  250 ms. Each probe revalidates the whole ancestor directory chain on
  Windows; at 100 Hz that burned ~20% of a core for the life of every MCP
  session (7762 CPU-seconds on one 9.5 h session). Detection latency spends
  0.25 s of the 15 s activation drain budget.
- version_cohort: the healthy fresh-claim record is renamed from
  "claimed_unheld" (misread as a stale-claim anomaly during the incident
  diagnosis) to "claimed_fresh" with prior_holder=none.
