fix(cron): send a paste-mode prompt's Enter as its own write

A cron job in "Paste (direct)" input mode wrote `<text>\r` into the pane
in one piece. Claude Code (measured on 2.1.283) takes a burst of about a
hundred characters as a paste, so the `\r` landed as a newline and the
prompt sat unsent on the composer while the run reported `prompt_sent`.

Delivery now lives in `deliverCronPrompt()`. Paste mode writes the text
raw, waits CRON_PASTE_ENTER_DELAY_MS (300 ms), sends `\r` as a separate
write down the same PTY (so it cannot overtake the text), and arms the
session's composer check through the new public
`Session.verifySubmitted()`, which re-presses Enter while the prompt is
still visibly unsent. A session with nothing to write to now fails the
run instead of reporting the prompt as sent. Typed mode is unchanged.

Verified on an isolated instance: a paste-mode job with a 104-character
prompt submitted on the first Enter and Claude answered.
