- Skip and latch a bounded Shell window once the browser is at xterm's
scrollback cap (scrollback + rows): a 1 MiB window of short lines can carry
more rows than the browser can ever hold, so it replayed and re-captured on
every scroll-to-top with no 60 s back-off.
- Label a replayed bounded window 'tail' even when the capture was byte-capped,
so the banner keeps offering Load full history instead of calling the rest
unrecoverable.
- Pin GET /terminal?full=1&tail=<n> in the route tests: full-history source,
truncationReason 'tail', and the closing relative cursor move survive the cut.
- Log the bounded skip via _logScrollRouting('repull-skipped-bounded').

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.

A burst of output leaves a Shell pane with about one screen of browser
scrollback, because tmux repaints the burst instead of scrolling it,
while tmux itself keeps every line. Shell declined the scroll-to-top
re-pull other modes use, and the Load full history button renders only
once a replay was truncated, so a Shell tab under 1 MiB could not
scroll back at all.
The scroll gesture now pulls ?full=1&tail=TERMINAL_TAIL_SIZE, the same
bound a tab switch loads; the route's existing tail cut marks longer
histories 'tail', so the banner still offers the unbounded pull. A
window no longer than the browser's buffer is not rewritten.
