`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.
