fix(terminal): keep Claude scrollback reachable — strip alt-screen/3J/mouse for claude mode (v1.1.7)

Browse Source 
Terminal scroll-up intermittently broke for Claude sessions (most visible on
iPhone). Claude Code periodically emits alt-screen switches (?1049h/?47h/?1047h),
scrollback-erase (3J), and mouse-tracking enables for full-screen UIs, which move
xterm.js to the scrollback-less alt buffer / wipe saved lines / hijack the wheel.
Codeman stripped these but only for codex mode.

Share the strip via isAltScreenStripMode(mode) = codex || claude, applied at both
sites that were codex-only: the live PTY stream (Session._handleTerminalOutput,
incl. the chunk-boundary carry) and the /terminal buffer replay. shell stays
excluded (vim/less/htop need the alt screen); opencode unchanged.

Tests: test/claude-scrollback-strip.test.ts (8 new); codex strip tests unchanged.

## 1.1.7
### Patch Changes
- Fix: terminal scroll-up (scrollback) intermittently breaking for **Claude** sessions — most visible on iPhone, where you suddenly "can't scroll up the Claude console."
Root cause: Claude Code periodically emits alternate-screen switches (`\x1b[?1049h`/`\x1b[?47h`/`\x1b[?1047h`), scrollback-erase (`\x1b[3J`), and mouse-tracking enables — typically when it draws a full-screen UI (pickers/dialogs, the boot welcome). xterm.js obeys these by moving to the scrollback-less alternate buffer (or wiping saved lines / hijacking the wheel), so the conversation history becomes unreachable until Claude returns to its normal view. Codeman already stripped these sequences so history stays scrollable, but the strip was gated to **Codex mode only** — Claude (and the equivalent buffer-replay path) let them through.
The strip is now shared via a single `isAltScreenStripMode(mode)` predicate (`codex || claude`) applied at BOTH sites that were Codex-only: the live PTY stream (`Session._handleTerminalOutput`, including the split-across-chunks carry reassembly) and the `/terminal` buffer replay used on tab-switch/reconnect. `shell` is deliberately excluded so full-screen TUIs run from a shell (vim/less/htop) keep their alternate screen; `opencode` is also unchanged.
Verified end-to-end on an isolated instance against a real Claude session: the replayed buffer and live stream now carry zero alt-screen/scrollback-erase/mouse sequences, the terminal stays in the normal buffer with scrollback intact, and touch swipe-up scrolls correctly. Covered by new unit tests (`test/claude-scrollback-strip.test.ts`); the existing Codex strip tests are unchanged.
