fix(split-pane): let a Shell Pane B's scroll-up reach tmux history

tmux repaints a burst of output instead of scrolling it, so a shell
pane's xterm keeps about one screen of scrollback while tmux holds every
line. The primary pane goes back for it when the wheel reaches the top;
Pane B is a separate xterm that loaded history once at connect and never
again, so after a `cat` its earlier output was unreachable.

Pane B now does the same for a shell session: wheel-up at the top of the
normal screen pulls ?full=1&tail=TERMINAL_TAIL_SIZE and holds the
reader's place across the replay. The wheel listener is capture-phase
because xterm stopPropagation()s the events it consumes.

It follows the primary pane's rules from #494 and its 1.33.2 merge-time
fixes: a window holding no more rows than the pane (which covers a
downgrade), or a pane already at its `scrollback + rows` cap, is skipped
without a rewrite. That skip backs off to 60 s when the window was
truncated or the pane is full, since each ask costs the server a
whole-history capture-pane; an untruncated window keeps the 4 s cooldown.
There is no truncation banner in Pane B, so the 'tail' relabel does not
apply.

Live frames, a {t:'c'} clear included, are held with their arrival time
while the replay runs and applied in order only if they arrived after the
capture. The fetch has a 10 s deadline since it holds live output while
it runs. The tail of _loadBuffer() becomes _endBufferLoad() so the pull
shares its single-flight bookkeeping.

**Circuit breakers**: the Ralph breaker prevents respawn thrashing (`CLOSED` → `HALF_OPEN` → `OPEN`; reset via `/api/sessions/:id/ralph-circuit-breaker/reset`). **Distinct: the PTY-exit breaker** (`session-pty-exit-breaker.ts`) trips after repeated rapid PTY exits and blocks auto-restarts. ⚠️ It resets ONLY via an explicit `{clearBreaker:true}` body on `POST /api/sessions/:id/interactive`; the frontend's auto-reattach in `selectSession()` sends no body and must never clear it. → [architecture-invariants#circuit-breakers-ralph--pty-exit](docs/architecture-invariants.md#circuit-breakers-ralph-and-pty-exit)

**Split-pane sessions** (`showSplitButton`, header button, default OFF, desktop-only, per-device): a second live session ("Pane B") beside the active one, in its own `SplitTerminalPane` (terminal-split.js) with its own xterm + WebSocket, resizable via a draggable divider.
