feat(adopt): adopt tmux sessions a human started, in all three locations

A tmux session someone opened by hand (`tmux new -s work`, then `claude`, or
just a shell) is invisible to Codeman: it lives on the default socket, not the
instance-scoped one Codeman owns. The home screen now lists those, and one
click wraps one in a Codeman tab. Local, in-container and over-ssh all work.

The shape is a WRAPPER session, not a direct attach: adoption creates an
ordinary `codeman-<8hex>` session on our own socket whose pane runs the
attach. That makes "detach, never kill the foreign session" structural rather
than a matter of discipline — `killSession` can only ever reach our own
wrapper, so no shape of caller bug reaches the foreign server. View reclamation
differs by location: local relies on client death and ssh on SIGHUP, but a
`docker exec` does NOT die with its client, so the in-container view has to be
reclaimed explicitly on kill or every adoption leaks one.

Measured facts, recorded in the code comments:

- A grouped session (`new-session -t`) buys `status off` and an independent
  current window. It does NOT buy an independent size. A window is one object
  with one size and a group shares it: on tmux 3.3a a bare attach and a grouped
  attach both shrink a 200x49 target to 80x23. Only `window-size largest` holds
  it, and that is a shared window option which survives our detach, so setting
  it would permanently rewrite the owner's configuration. Left unset.
- Session names come from other people, while the local launch chain ends in
  `bash -c` + `JSON.stringify`, which escapes neither `$` nor backticks — the
  outer shell performs command substitution before the inner single quotes are
  considered (verified: both substitutions inside the inner quotes ran). So
  session names and socket paths go through a character allowlist and are
  dropped at DISCOVERY, which means a non-conforming candidate never gets an
  id and the adopt endpoint fails closed when it re-resolves.
- `pane_current_command` is `node` for both claude and codex, so the mode can
  only come from a bounded process-tree walk of `pane_pid`'s argv; anything
  unrecognized is treated as a shell.

An adopted session has to say no to every assumption that Codeman owns the
pane: respawn, Ralph, the orchestrator and hook waits all refuse. The hook
check runs BEFORE the mode check, because adoption asks who launched the
process and no mode can vouch for a workspace Codeman never touched. `paneExit`
is forced to unknown, since the pane runs `tmux attach` rather than the agent
and its exiting with 0 only means the connection ended. Reboot restore refuses
too: all Codeman ever had was an attach command, and replaying it would build a
connection to a foreign session a reboot has almost certainly taken with it,
while presenting whatever it lands on as a session we restored.

Adoption is admin-only under multi-user mode: adopting someone's shell is
equivalent to arbitrary host execution. Discovery is read-only, never creates a
session, and degrades to an empty list whenever a probe cannot reach its target.
