fix(tiles): treat the server's clear frame as a refresh, not a bare clear

Browse Source

The server sends {t:'c'} from one place only: a fresh Claude pane's first
prompt (Session.startInteractive), meaning "refresh after startup". The
primary pane answers it with a refetch and replay (_onSessionClearTerminal),
and stands aside while the grid is open, so the tile's own handling was the
only one that ran. That handling was a bare xterm clear(), which keeps only
the cursor's row and drops the banner, a resumed transcript and all
scrollback. An idle Claude never repaints static rows, so a Claude session
Run into the grid, or Attached in a tile, came up as a near-empty tile.

_onLiveClear() now calls _refreshBuffer(), the {t:'r'} path: single-flight,
coalesced into one trailing refresh behind a load already running (a shell
pull's held frames included), and paced by the grid's TileLoadQueue. The
queued {clear:true} entry and its branch in _pullHistory's flush are gone,
along with the _clearTerminal helper they used.

Tests: two unit tests pinned the bare clear (a clear frame queued in order
during a pull, and one applied at once before the capture); they are
replaced by tests that the frame coalesces behind the pull and refetches,
plus a socket-level {t:'c'} test, a coalescing test, and a grid test that
the frame waits its turn in the load queue.
