Michael GrundbergandClaude Opus 5 95dc6fe944 fix(terminal): remember a geometry replay that did not converge
`resizeRetry` caps the recursion inside one select and says nothing about the
next one, so a pane this browser cannot size reported the same mismatch on
every select and bought the same failed repair each time: two fetches per tab
switch for the life of the page, measured as a running count of 2, 4, 6 across
three selects. That is the case this branch describes as happening every time
rather than occasionally, a phone whose resize `Session.resize` declines while a
desktop claim is live, and it is not the only one — any pane Codeman cannot size
lands there, including one a second tmux client is also holding. Each wasted
pass costs another `capture-pane`, which is `execSync` and blocks the server's
event loop, plus a reset and chunked rewrite, a discarded snapshot and cache
entry, and a dropped and reopened WebSocket.

`_geometryRetryUseless` mirrors the existing `_fullHistoryRepullUseless`: a
retry pass whose frame still does not fit adds the session, geometry that fits
removes it, and the replay gate consults it. The proof has to come from a retry
pass rather than a first one, because the retry ran at the size that stuck and
the pane ignored it. Clearing on a fitting frame is what stops a pane that
becomes sizeable again, once the desktop tab closes or its claim goes idle, from
staying permanently unrepaired. The race case never reaches the latch, since it
converges on its first attempt.

The new browser case walks all of that: three selects reading 2, 3, 4 instead of
2, 4, 6, then a fitting frame, then a mismatch diagnosed afresh. Without the
gate it fails on the second switch with `expected 4 to be 3`.

Rebased onto master, which has moved to 1.30.0 and taken #436. The one conflict
was `config/test-suites.ts`, where both branches appended a glob to
`BROWSER_TEST_GLOBS`; both are kept. Everything else merged clean, #436's own
changes to the same buffer-load path included.

/**
* @fileoverview A capture drawn for a bigger pane makes the client replay once.
*
* A visible-frame capture repaints each row at an absolute position, counting
* up to the PANE's height and out to the PANE's width. A terminal shorter than
* that clamps every address past its own height onto its last line, so the
* overflow rows overwrite one another and the rows underneath are lost. A
* narrower terminal wraps every painted row, and the wrap on the last one
* scrolls the whole frame up by one. The client cannot see either from the
* escape sequence, so the terminal response reports the geometry the capture
* was taken at (`captureCols`/`captureRows`) and `selectSession` replays once
* at the size that stuck.
*
* The comparison runs on a `mux-visible` response ONLY. The other two sources
* position no rows absolutely, so a size mismatch damages neither and a replay
* repairs neither, and the last case here pins that the expensive one is left
* alone.
*
* These drive the REAL client in chromium and stub only the terminal endpoint,
* because the mismatch itself needs two viewports to stage against live tmux.
* Without the fix the first assertion below sees one fetch instead of two.
*
* Port: 3252 (capture geometry retry)
*
* Run: npx vitest run --config config/vitest.browser.config.ts test/capture-geometry-retry.browser.test.ts
