The wiki, decision 11 in the tile-grid plan, its Persistence section, the
layout-memory test header and two tile-grid.js comments said the Tiles
button and a page reload bring the grid back however it was closed. Only
the Tiles button does: a grid closed before the reload stays stored as
open: false, the page shows the single view, and the toggle puts the grid
back. The behaviour was right; the wording now says that.
A test pins it through the real close path: arrange the grid, close it with
the toggle, start a fresh page, and the restore leaves the single view
while the toggle still brings back the cells, count, divider sizes, focus
and zoom. ('a stored closed grid leaves the single view' in
tile-grid-restore.test.ts covers the same from a raw stored value through
handleInit.)

A session popped out while the grid was open (its pop-out button, or
another dashboard tab announcing the pop-out over the window channel) left
the grid through _markDetached, which removed its tile as if the user had
closed it: the stored count dropped to five and its cell stayed a hole the
ranking never filled, so after the window re-docked Tiles off and on showed
five tiles and an empty cell. Popping out with the grid closed, or a reload
reconcile, already kept the count and refilled the cell.
_markDetached now removes the tile as `gone` (it left by itself), the same
as a deleted session or a refused socket, so the count stays and the next
activation fills the cell from the ranking.

The Tiles toggle used to fill a remembered grid to the count picked in the
menu (refilling a hole the user made, or trimming tiles), removing the last
tile or "Open group as tiles" forgot it, and Ctrl/Cmd+click repacked it.
The owner asked for the opposite: "when I turn tiles off and on, always
keep what the last setting was".
Now the layout the user arranged (which session sits in which cell, holes
included, the tile count, the divider sizes, the focused tile and a zoom
they chose) is written to localStorage on every change and comes back
exactly from the toggle, Ctrl+Shift+G and a reload, however the grid was
closed (toggle, a non-tiled tab, leaveTiles or a #session= link, Home, the
width gate, the last tile, a group, closing or killing sessions). Nothing
of it reaches the server.
- The stored value stays v: 1 and gains `count`: how many tiles the user's
own last change left. A session that goes away by itself (deleted,
popped out, socket refused) does not lower it, so the next activation
fills that cell from the ranking; a hole the user made stays a hole.
- sanitizeTileGridState reports `freed` cells (sessions gone since) and
derives `count` for values written before it; restoreTileGridCells (pure)
puts a stored grid back, freed cells first, never trimmed to the window
(a too-small window shows the focused tile until it fits).
- Only when none of the stored sessions survive does activation rank from
scratch. A count picked in the menu still re-forms the grid to it.
- Nothing is persisted while a stored grid is being put back, and a
#session= link only flips `open`, keeping gone ids for the fill.
- The hover card no longer promises "a click opens N" when a stored grid
will open instead.
This supersedes decision 10's answer that the count wins over a
remembered grid's size; the affected tests say so.
