Dai Ha 57f8fa257a CB-558: launch a declared lead at startup when none is live
`fleet.leaders.<name>.instances` was descriptive. Now the daemon reads it: a
lead that names a `profile:` is started when fewer than `instances` are running.
A lead with only a `terminal:` stays recognise-only, as before.

A lead is not a member, and LeadLauncher exists to keep it that way. Every other
spawn path goes through HerdrPeerLauncher, which does three things a lead must
never get: it appends the worker reply charter ("you are an off-subscription
worker … end every turn with bridge_reply" — the opposite of an orchestrator);
it registers the session with SessionManager, whose idle reaper would kill a
lead for being idle, which is a lead's normal state; and it can move a peer off
the subscription. So this launcher talks to AgentControl/WorkspaceControl
directly. The duplicated argv/env assembly is the cheaper half of that trade.

Not double-spawning is the safety property, so liveness needs two pieces of
evidence. A running agent in a tab labelled `lead: <name>` finds an
auto-launched lead. A running agent on a pinned `terminal:` finds one the
operator opened by hand — without it, a pinned lead whose tab carries no
matching label would be relaunched on every boot. Member workspaces are
excluded, so a member in a matching tab is never counted. If herdr cannot be
reached, nothing is started: a second orchestrator is worse than none.

Liveness deliberately requires the AGENT, not just the label. LeadTabScanner
used to promise that bridged never writes a lead label, so there was no
round-trip from the daemon's own rename back into its next decision. That is no
longer true, and its javadoc now says so. The trust direction is unaffected — a
label is a name, not a capability — but staleness becomes real: a label left by
a crashed session would otherwise read as a live lead forever and disable
auto-launch permanently.

Two new knobs. `workspace:` (default "leads") is where a launched lead's tab
goes; it must not be a member workspace, because those are excluded from the
scan and a lead placed in one would never be found again. `cwd:` defaults to
bridged's own working directory.

Also: WorkspaceControl.listTabs, and a FakeHerdr tab seeder that leaves the
canned response byte-identical when no tab is seeded.

617 tests pass (16 new), IDE-clean.

/**
* Starts the leads {@code fleet.leaders:} declares, when none is already running (CB-558).
*
* <p><strong>A lead is not a member, and this class exists to keep it that way.</strong> Every other
* spawn path in the daemon goes through {@code HerdrPeerLauncher}, which does three things a lead
* must never receive:
* <ol>
* <li>it appends the <em>reply charter</em> — "you are an off-subscription worker … end every turn
* with {@code bridge_reply}". A lead is the orchestrator; telling it that it is a worker is
* exactly backwards.</li>
* <li>it registers the session with {@code SessionManager}, which subjects it to the idle reaper,
* the context cap and the shutdown drain. An idle lead is the normal state of a lead, so the
* reaper would kill the orchestrator for doing its job.</li>
* <li>it can move a peer off the subscription via {@code ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL}. A lead stays on the
* operator's subscription, always.</li>
* </ol>
* So this launcher talks to {@link AgentControl}/{@link WorkspaceControl} directly. The duplication
* with the member launchers (argv and env assembly) is deliberate and is the cheaper half of the
* trade: entangling the worker path with a not-a-worker case is how the three rules above get
* broken later, quietly.
*
* <p><strong>Liveness, and the label round-trip.</strong> {@code LeadTabScanner} used to be able to
* promise that bridged never writes a lead label. That is no longer true — an auto-launched lead is
* labelled by this class, and the scanner reads that label back. The risk this opens is not
* privilege escalation (the tab label never granted anything a pane could take for itself; see that
* class's javadoc), but <em>staleness</em>: a label left behind by a crashed session would otherwise
* read as a live lead forever, and the lead would never be relaunched. So a lead counts as live only
* when herdr also reports a <em>running agent</em> in that tab — see {@link #liveLeads}. A labelled
* tab with no agent in it is not a lead.
