fix(terminal): skip a bounded Shell window before the downgrade guard

Browse Source

A window cut at the tail size can be smaller than the browser's buffer
while tmux still holds more. The downgrade guard reads that as "tmux has
nothing more to give", which is true of an unbounded capture only, so a
bounded window reaching it marked the session exhausted and removed Load
full history from the banner.

The bounded skip now runs first, so such a window never reaches the
exhausted path, and it no longer writes banner state: relabelling it from
the bounded payload would call a terminal holding all of a Load full
history pull "the most recent 1 MiB".

A skipped window that came back truncated cannot reach anything older
than the browser shows, and every ask costs the server a synchronous
capture-pane of the whole history (tail is applied after the capture), so
it puts the session on the 60 s cooldown. An untruncated one keeps 4 s.

_replayWouldShrinkBuffer takes optional pre-estimated rows so a megabyte
capture is not scanned twice. CLAUDE.md's Full-scrollback replay entry no
longer says Shell never pulls on ordinary scroll.
