second pass over those sidecars and registers each as a `Dormant` session

session has no pane and no PTY bridge: it cannot be attached to, typed into or

resized, and neither watcher pass touches it.
A dormant session is brought back with `POST /api/sessions/:id/resume` (#166),
which respawns tmux under the **same** uuid and sidecar — `metadata.name`,
`created_at`, `env` and worktree ownership all survive, and only the tmux
session and the PTY bridge are new. The command is the matching spawn preset's
`resume_command` with `{agent_session}` filled in from the session's own
`agent_session_id`, so an agent comes back inside its old conversation; a
session with no matching preset, no `resume_command`, or no reported
conversation id is respawned on the command it was created with. `Session::command`
always keeps that original command, so a second resume resolves the same preset.
Resume is refused with `409` for a session that is already running
(`already_running`) and for one whose `cwd` has disappeared (`cwd_missing`) —
neither is something a respawn could fix. The other thing to do with a dormant
session is dismiss it, which removes the sidecar so the next recovery does not
bring it back.
Attaching to a session that has no bridge answers `409 not_attachable`, not
`404 unknown_session`: the session exists, and a client that cannot tell "gone"
from "not running" cannot offer the resume.
`SessionStatus` is a wire type, so from this build forward it deserializes
leniently on both clients: a spelling the client does not know reads as `Dead`
