setRemoteWorkingDir() records the path for authority only, and today
nothing else reads it for a remote session (loadFixPlanFromDisk's only
callers are setWorkingDir and the local watcher). The watcher now
remembers the remote mode and refuses both the local read and the local
watch for it, so a future caller cannot import a same-named local twin.

#722 stopped handing a remote session's workingDir to the Ralph tracker,
which also left isFileAuthoritative false for remote sessions only. That
flag is what keeps the output-based completion guessers off, and it is
true for every local session with a working directory, so a remote loop
could end, and mark every todo done, on a prose line such as "All tasks
completed" while a local one cannot.
setRemoteWorkingDir() records the path without reading or watching the
local disk, so the fix plan stays authoritative as for a local session;
the file still reaches the tracker only through fix-plan/read, over ssh.
The test pins both, and fails on the previous head.

Note in docs/remote-sessions.md that the @fix_plan.md auto-load does not
run for remote sessions, and rewrap the test's header comment.

A remote-SSH session's workingDir is a path on the remote host, but
setupSessionListeners() handed it to the Ralph tracker, whose
RalphFixPlanWatcher reads and fs.watch()es it on the LOCAL disk. Where the
path does not exist locally (the usual case), every server start logged
[RalphFixPlanWatcher] Could not watch @fix_plan.md: Error: ENOENT ...
once per remote session; where a same-named local directory did exist, it
watched the wrong tree. Setting the path also made the tracker treat that
unreadable file as authoritative (isFileAuthoritative is "a path is set"),
which switched off its output-based todo completion for remote sessions.
Skip the tracker's working dir for remote sessions, next to the existing
external-CLI skip.
