P2 Parity test accepts unresolved mismatch

The new parity test accepts the missing local authoritative-inventory capability as an exception even though the comment calls it “unsettled.” Without that capability, main omits the authoritative label from local session.tabs.listAll replies, while the renderer reads it to mark ordinary refreshes authoritative. Recording the mismatch as an accepted exception lets the test pass without protecting that local behavior.

This records SESSION_TABS_AUTHORITATIVE_INVENTORY_RUNTIME_CAPABILITY as remote-only, but the comment says the local tabs sync reads the census's authoritative label. Since the renderer advertises DESKTOP_RENDERER_RUNTIME_CLIENT_CAPABILITIES to its own main, the label is stripped from every local response, so that branch is inert locally. Is that intended, or should the capability also join the local list?

Technical details
# The local authoritative-inventory label path is unreachable

## Affected sites
- `src/main/ipc/desktop-renderer-runtime-capabilities.test.ts:61-63` — records the divergence the comment itself describes
- `src/main/runtime/rpc/methods/session-tabs-inventory.ts:47` — `projectInventory` keeps `authoritative` only when `clientUnderstandsAuthoritativeInventory(context)`
- `src/main/ipc/runtime.ts:83,125` — the renderer's own `runtime:call` / `runtime:subscribe` contexts use `DESKTOP_RENDERER_RUNTIME_CLIENT_CAPABILITIES`
- `src/renderer/src/runtime/local-structured-session-tabs-sync/inventory-refresh.ts:71` and `subscription.ts:102` — read `result.authoritative` / `event.authoritative`

## Required outcome
- Decide whether the local tabs sync is meant to receive the host's `authoritative` label. If yes, add the capability to `DESKTOP_RENDERER_RUNTIME_CLIENT_CAPABILITIES`; if no, the label branches (and the `inventory-refresh.ts:56-57` rationale) are dead for local calls and should be removed or re-scoped to the remote transport.

## Open questions for the human
- Is the response-label path deliberately remote-only, with local cleanup driven solely by the explicit `options.authoritative` repair lane?

P1 Paired chats can route locally

If a local and paired host publish the same worktree ID and the paired workspace is not active, these capabilities make the paired chat visible, but its pane chooses an RPC target from the worktree ID rather than the chat’s host. The ambiguous ID yields no remote environment, so the pane targets the local runtime. Reading or sending to the paired chat then reaches the wrong host.
