fix: phantom 'Compressing context' barrier when compressed SSE is lost/delayed (#6572)

* fix: clear stale compression barrier on turn-done when compressed SSE is lost

When a turn completes (done SSE event) but the "compressed" SSE event was
lost or delayed, the compression UI state remained in phase="running".
The done handler unconditionally rebound the stale state sessionId to
the continuation session, surfacing a phantom "Compressing context"
barrier on a session that never actually compressed.

Fix: when the done event session_id differs from the active session AND
the compression UI is still in "running" phase, clear it via
clearCompressionUi() instead of rebinding. Non-running states (e.g.
"done") are still rebound as before.

Added regression tests verifying:
- stale running state is cleared (not rebound) on session change
- non-running states are still rebound
- the old unconditional rebind is gone

* fix: also clear phantom compression on same-session done (A->A case)

Reviewer feedback on PR #6572: the previous fix only cleared stale running
compression when the session ID changed (A->B). But the backend also supports
compression without session rotation (A->A), where the compressed SSE being
lost leaves the same phantom barrier.

Fix: in the done handler, clear any owned automatic compression state that is
still in "running" phase, regardless of whether the session ID changed. The
condition is now phase==='running' alone, not session_id change AND running.

Added behavioral state-transition tests for all four cases:
- running A->B (rotation, compressed lost): cleared
- running A->A (no rotation, compressed lost): cleared
- non-running A->B (rotation, compressed seen): rebound
- non-running A->A (no rotation, compressed seen): rebound

* test: real SSE regression for compression phantom barrier

Rewrite test_compression_phantom_barrier.py to use real browser + SSE
instead of handwritten Python simulation. The new tests:

- Boot real WebUI server with isolated state
- Use deterministic mock gateway (Runs API mode)
- Verify done handler clears stale running compression state
- Cover both A→B (rotation) and A→A (no rotation) cases

Key insight: /v1/capabilities must return run_approval_response=true
to enable the Runs API path in gateway_chat.py.

Fixes reviewer feedback: simulation never called attachLiveStream,
clearCompressionUi, or registered done listeners.

* test: replace Playwright test with hermetic source-grep suite for compression phantom barrier

The previous Playwright-based test failed CI in no-egress sandboxes due to
external resource errors (net::ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED) and was structurally
unsound: the mock window.S shadowed the lexical S, so the compressing handler
short-circuited before the barrier could be established, producing a false-
positive assertion.

New suite uses static source analysis (same convention as test_issue840,
test_issue3040, test_bg_task_complete_focus_drop):
- No browser, no network, no playwright dependency
- Proves the done handler clears phase:'running' without gating on session ID
  change (A->A case coverage)
- Asserts gating conditions: automatic && owner && done session exists
- Negative controls: non-owner / manual compression are ignored
- Source-level regression proof: reverting the production hunk breaks tests

13 tests. All pass in <3s on bare Python.

* test: exercise compression cleanup through real SSE handlers

Replace source-grep assertions with a hermetic Playwright harness that loads the shipping classic scripts and dispatches MockEventSource events through attachLiveStream. Cover A-to-A/A-to-B cleanup, non-running rebind, ownership controls, canonical cleanup side effects, and a production-branch mutation proof.
