DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 0cb9770d1c feat(recovery): name the owner of teardown claims and login/probe leases (#19965)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Environment leases carry several in-progress records: login/probe
leases and in-flight teardown claims among them
> - The ownership reconciler (durable ownership plan, Phase 2) must know
who owns each record, or invariant I1 reports a gap
> - The ownership data showed one teardown claim and one login/probe
lease with no owner stamp
> - A teardown claim could also show the wrong owner: a controller stamp
left by an earlier attempt named a dead process while a live claimant
held the claim
> - This pull request names an honest owner for both kinds, without a
new write before `turn.start`
> - The benefit is that I1 measures real gaps, and the later settle for
these kinds can trust the owner it is given

**What happened?**
The ownership reconciler reported `environment_teardown_claim` and
`environment_login_probe_lease` records as I1 `no_owner_stamp`.
Workspace recovery and native export retry claim teardown without a
controller stamp. A login/probe lease never had an owner stamp. A
teardown claim that kept an older attempt's controller stamp was
attributed to that older process.

**Expected behavior**
Each in-progress record names the owner that can still move it: a
process proved by identity, or a fence whose expiry is never proof by
itself. A stamp for a different attempt never names the owner.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Let workspace recovery claim a pending-cleanup lease (no controller
stamp), or open a login session lease.
2. Run the ownership reconciliation pass.
3. See `no_owner_stamp` for the record, or a dead earlier controller for
a claim that a live claimant holds.

## What Changed

- `recovery/ownership-registry.ts`, `environment_login_probe_lease`: the
owner is the holder process stamped by the write that makes the lease
active (`metadata.leaseController`, added in #19964). A lease saved by
the previous release still names no owner; it ends with its login
session.
- `recovery/ownership-registry.ts`, `environment_teardown_claim`: a
controller stamp counts only when its `attemptId` equals the claim's
`pendingCleanupAttemptId`. Any other claim with an attempt id is a
fence: the attempt id is the token and `pendingCleanupLeaseExpiresAtMs`
(renewed by the claimant) is the expiry. An expired fence stays
unprovable. A claim with no attempt id names no owner.
- Report-only. No settle is registered for these kinds in this change.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/environment-lease-owner-stamps.test.ts
src/__tests__/ownership-reconciliation-report.test.ts` (embedded
Postgres).
- Red on the previous registry, green here (tests written after the
code):
  - login/probe lease is owned by the process whose write made it active
  - login/probe lease is proven gone when that process has exited
- teardown claim never reads a controller stamped for an earlier attempt
(fence held by its token)
- an unstamped teardown claim whose fence expired stays unprovable,
never gone
- Green on both: a stamped claim for this attempt with a dead PID is
gone; an unstamped login lease and an attempt-less claim report I1.
- Full typecheck is left to CI (local memory limit).

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only alters the owner the report-only reconciler
reads. No record is changed.
- Stacked on #19964 (the lease holder stamp). Merge #19964 first.
