windows: discover provider roots inside WSL distros (#1062)
* feat(windows): discover provider roots inside WSL distros

Agents run inside a WSL distro write their history to the distro's Linux
home, exposed to Windows as \\wsl$\<distro>\... and never under the user
profile, so a Windows-only scan reported zero sessions for them.

src/wsl.ts lists distros through %SystemRoot%\System32\wsl.exe (absolute,
so nothing dropped next to the CLI can impersonate it) with a 3s timeout,
decodes its UTF-16LE output, drops container-runtime distros, and
enumerates each distro's home/* and root. Running distros only by
default: touching \\wsl$ boots a stopped distro. CODEBURN_WSL=all|off
opts in or out. Inert off win32 and memoized per process.

claude and codex append <wslHome>/.claude and <wslHome>/.codex to their
existing root lists, so multi-root discovery, probeRoots() and doctor
cover them unchanged. Roots are additive, never an override.

CODEBURN_WSL stays out of PROVIDER_ENV_VARS: cache entries are keyed by
source path, so it can only add or drop paths, never make a kept entry
stale, while declaring it would force a re-parse on every toggle.

Fingerprints drop dev/ino for \\wsl$ paths in both caches. The 9P share
synthesizes them per mount, so keying on them would re-parse every WSL
session on every run; mtime+size still catches edits and appends.

* test(windows): cover WSL root discovery and the 9P carve-outs

UTF-16 output parsing, utility-distro filtering, CODEBURN_WSL modes, UNC
classification, claude/codex root injection and discovery, probeRoots,
fingerprint reconciliation with zeroed dev/ino, and the win32 guard that
keeps a Linux cwd from being walked on Windows.

* docs(windows): document WSL discovery and CODEBURN_WSL

* fix(windows): harden WSL discovery from adversarial review

Probe \\wsl$\ before \\wsl.localhost\. The older spelling works on every
WSL build; probing the newer one first sends builds without it through
MUP, SMB and DNS resolution for a host named "wsl.localhost" — seconds
of stall per distro, every process.

Only accept lines shaped like a distro name. With nothing installed,
wsl.exe prints prose on stdout whose lines otherwise read as distro
names and get probed over UNC. A name must be a single token with none
of the characters Windows bans from a path component and no trailing
period, which discards that message in any UI language.

Do not evict a \\wsl$ cache entry for being undiscovered, and serve it
in write mode too. A stopped distro drops its whole root out of
discovery; treating that as a deletion re-parsed everything over 9P on
the next start and made totals drop while the read-only serve path still
showed them. The exemption is scoped to isWslUncPath — an ordinary path
whose file is gone is still evicted.

Also: getCachedCodexProject was the one fingerprint site still keying on
dev/ino for WSL paths; doctor now prints why it probed no WSL roots; and
a distro contributing several homes labels them per user rather than
letting makeUniqueLabels number them.

* fix(windows): re-validate running WSL distros on a TTL before UNC access

wslHomes() memoized the running-distro homes for the process lifetime. In
long-lived serve/menubar use a distro cached as running could be shut down
and the next refresh would still touch its \\wsl$ UNC path — which can hang
win32 fs calls — while a distro started after an empty discovery stayed
invisible until restart.

Discovery now caches for a 60s TTL only; on expiry the wsl.exe -l --running
probe (timeout-bounded) re-validates the running list before any UNC path
is touched, and a failed probe fails closed to native-only discovery rather
than serving stale homes. Covers both shutdown and later-start transitions.

Addresses the blocking review finding on PR #1062.

* fix(windows): harden WSL cache reconciliation

* fix(windows): bound WSL orphan refresh to the discovery TTL

refreshWslHomes re-spawned wsl.exe on every full parse for a stopped-but-
cached distro, ignoring the 60s TTL — up to ~3s twice per parse in the
resident serve/menubar. Reuse the TTL-bounded wslHomes() probe instead; the
same TTL already reflects the only transition the orphan check must catch,
offline->running.

* test(windows): skip on-disk POSIX-worktree walk case on real win32

The fixture builds a worktree under tmpdir() and treats it as a POSIX cwd the
win32 guard should reject. On a real Windows runner tmpdir() is a C:\ path, so
the guard rightly walks it and canonicalizes to the main repo, failing the
assertion. The case is only constructible on a POSIX host (mocked win32); the
literal /home/... test already covers the guard on Windows.
