fix(files): serve remote-case attachments, the path a click takes outside the case

A clicked path that points OUTSIDE the case directory goes through the attachment
routes (the frontend's `_isExternalPreviewPath` sends every absolute path not under
`workingDir` to `POST /attachments`), and those had the same local-`fs` assumption
as file-raw: `realpathSync`/`fs.stat` on a path that only exists on the remote host,
so the file never opened — the case the #415 report was actually about.

- `registerExternalAttachment()` accepts `remote` and resolves through
  `remoteProbePaths` (canonical path, size/mtime, kind, plus the workspace root for
  the confinement check). Everything around it — blocklist, extension allowlist,
  workspace confinement, registry/dedupe — is now shared by both branches, so the
  remote path cannot drift from the local one.
- The by-id routes (`raw`, `preview`, `thumbnail`), the metadata poll and the
  attachment history list resolve over ssh too. `raw` streams with the same
  Range contract as file-raw; `preview` (office) and `thumbnail` answer 400 for a
  remote record; an unreachable host answers 502, a vanished file 404.
- Which host a record is read from follows the SESSION, never the path string: the
  same absolute path is a different file on each host, and a remote session never
  falls back to a local file with that name.
- Codex generated artifacts keep force-workspace confinement for a remote case: the
  well-known artifact directories are anchored at THIS host's home, so only a file
  inside the remote workspace is trusted.

Still local-only by design: writes, office conversion, thumbnails, the file
tree/picker and tail-file.

### Remote SSH cases
**Remote SSH cases** (COD-94/#145): cases can point at a **remote host** (`~/.codeman/remote-hosts.json` + `remote-cases.json` via `src/remote-hosts.ts`; CRUD under `/api/cases` — cases route file). A remote session launches a LOCAL tmux pane running `ssh <host>` that creates a durable REMOTE tmux session on a **dedicated socket** `-L codeman-remote` with name `codeman-ssh-<id>` — deliberately failing the remote Codeman's `SAFE_MUX_NAME_PATTERN` so a Codeman instance on the target host never adopts it; no `-g` global tmux options are set remotely. `remotePath`/`identityFile` are schema-guarded against shell injection (backticks/`$` rejected — same approach as `extraSshOptions`); remote tmux availability is probed via `checkRemoteTmuxAvailable()` in quick-start (ssh args carry `-o ConnectTimeout=10`). Remote claude defaults to an idempotent `claude --session-id <id> || claude --resume <id>` pair under a login shell, so a respawn or reattach continues the SAME conversation rather than starting a fresh one (remote omp gets the same treatment via `--continue`; ⚠️ because the claude arm is an `a || b` pair under `-c`, that pane's PID is the login shell, not the agent); per-host `commands.*` override. Session kill best-effort kills the remote tmux too. `SessionState.remote`/`MuxSession.remote` round-trip through recovery (`restoreMuxSessions` passes `remote` back into the Session constructor). ⚠️ Run flows must route remote cases through `POST /api/quick-start` (which resolves the remote case and skips LOCAL CLI availability gates) — `POST /api/sessions` stat-validates `workingDir` locally and has no `caseName`. `envOverrides`/`effort`/`modelOverride`/`codexConfig`/`geminiConfig` are rejected for remote quick-starts (not silently dropped). UI: Create Case modal → Remote tab. Tests: `test/remote-hosts.test.ts`, `test/remote-ssh-options.test.ts`. ⚠️ **Reading a file in a remote case goes over ssh too** (#415): `src/remote-files.ts` is the single remote-READ layer (`buildRemoteFileCommand` = `buildSshConnectionArgs` + one shellescaped remote command; `remoteProbePaths` returns remote realpath + stat; `remoteCreateReadStream` streams a `Range` via `tail -c +N | head -c L` and its `close()` must be wired to the response's `close` or the ssh child outlives an aborted download). The guard order matches the local path exactly (`validateSessionFilePathLexical` → remote realpath of BOTH file and workspace root → containment → sensitive-path → size cap on the REMOTE size), a request path arrives from the browser and is only ever interpolated as a `shellescape`d token, and an unreachable host answers **502**, never a 404. Deliberately NOT supported over ssh: writes (`edit=1`/`PUT` answer 400, `editable` is always false), office previews/thumbnails, the file tree/picker, external attachment registration, `tail-file`.

⚠️ A remote record stores the **remote** path, and the same absolute path STRING means a
different file on each host. What decides which host to read is therefore never the
path but the SESSION (`session.remote`): a remote session never falls back to local
`fs`, and a local session never opens an ssh connection — including for attachment
records, which are keyed to the session that registered them.
