fix(daemon): honor cmux timing gotchas + column-major fill order in CmuxLayoutService (slice 24 Checkpoint B repair)

velocity-guard 24.B BLOCKING-CONCERN at 4e65fdd. Two repairs:

PRIMARY (timing) — README §94 + skill §5 require:
- sleep 0.5s between cmux ops (surface-not-ready-for-input window)
- sleep 1s final settle (last-send-key race)
Prior impl had no delays + no retry + no injected clock; would
produce flaky/empty panels in real desktop app.

Repair:
- CmuxLayoutService constructor accepts CmuxLayoutServiceOptions
  { sleep?: SleepFn } (defaults to setTimeout-based real sleep).
- Constants OP_DELAY_MS=500 + FINAL_SETTLE_MS=1000 +
  LIST_SURFACES_RETRY_DELAY_MS=100 + LIST_SURFACES_MAX_ATTEMPTS=5
  exposed for callers + tests.
- buildWorkspace awaits sleep(OP_DELAY_MS) after every splitSurface.
- After last sendText, awaits sleep(FINAL_SETTLE_MS) — guarantees
  terminal flushes the Enter character (skill §5 gotcha 2).
- listSurfaces is now wrapped in discoverInitialSurface helper that
  retries up to LIST_SURFACES_MAX_ATTEMPTS with
  LIST_SURFACES_RETRY_DELAY_MS backoff if cmux daemon hasn't yet
  attached the workspace's default surface (skill §5 gotcha 3).
- Returns request_failed with attempts count after retry exhaustion.

SECONDARY (fill order) — README §52 specifies "top-to-bottom,
left-to-right" which is COLUMN-MAJOR. Prior impl filled rows outer,
cols inner (row-major). Visual ordering of agents in a 2×N grid
matters: column-major puts the first 6 agents in column 0 top-down,
last 6 in column 1.

Repair:
- buildWorkspace's send loop swapped to outer-cols inner-rows order.
- For N=3 in a 2×2: agent-1 → col0/row0 (default surface),
  agent-2 → col0/row1 (down-split off default), agent-3 → col1/row0
  (right-split off default); blank at col1/row1.

Tests added (8 new):
- awaits sleep(OP_DELAY_MS) once per splitSurface (verified for N=4)
- awaits sleep(FINAL_SETTLE_MS) exactly once after last sendText
- final settle is the LAST sleep called (no further ops after)
- retries listSurfaces with backoff when initial response is empty
- returns request_failed after LIST_SURFACES_MAX_ATTEMPTS empty lists
- exposes timing constants
- N=3 column-major fill order: agent-1 on initial, agent-2 on down-
  split, agent-3 on right-split (discriminating regression for the
  row-major-to-column-major switch)
- N=2 column-major fill: agent-1 on initial, agent-2 on right-split

Total: 44/44 service tests green (was 36; +8 regressions). All 8 new
tests discriminate the timing/fill-order bug class — without the
sleep injection or column-major swap they would fail.

CmuxAdapter / CmuxTransport tests unchanged (orthogonal). 127/127
cmux family green expected on re-run.

SC-29 EXCEPTION declared: NONE at this checkpoint
(timing strategy + fill-order fix in domain service; declaration
lands at Checkpoint C with the route).
