refactor(subprocess): the dispose ladder moves to its one consumer

SubprocessHandle loses dispose(graces) and SubprocessDisposeGraces: the
stdin-EOF→SIGTERM→SIGKILL sequence is teardown POLICY encoding one
consumer's cooperation shape, not process vocabulary — the seam keeps
kill/terminate/waitForExit, and waitForExit(signal?) is the quiescence
probe a consumer ladder needs. dsh-subagent-acp owns disposeAcpChild()
over those public verbs (tier tests move into its suite; a never-exits
stub pins the fail-loud path); dsh-subprocess-local sheds the ladder,
its deadline import, and the dsh-timeout dependency. Every future
backend now owes four verbs and no teardown policy. New bilingual
ladder-ownership Agent Note records the decision; catalogs regenerated.

- **Per-stream stdio dispositions** on `SubprocessSpawnSpec`: `'pipe'` (the raw `Readable`/`Writable`, for consumer-owned protocol framing), `'inherit'` (diagnostics to the parent's stream), and collect mode `{ maxBytes, spill? }` — the original bounded tail-keep shape, with the spill file now optional so a diagnostic tail (a language server's stderr) buffers without touching disk. stdin is `'ignore'`, `'pipe'`, or `{ data }` (write-and-close batch).
- **`SubprocessOutcome` carries exit facts only** (Node's close-event vocabulary); collected output stays readable through `handle.collected` after settlement (spill fds seal at the settle boundary), so batch and streaming callers share one access path and nothing is copied into the outcome.
- **Tree-scoped termination, split Node-style**: `kill(signal?)` sends one signal and is a no-op after settlement; `terminate()` owns the SIGTERM→grace→SIGKILL escalation (and serves the spec's abort signal); `waitForExit()` polls tree liveness (POSIX group probe; direct-child boundary on Windows); `dispose(graces)` is the cooperative stdin-EOF→SIGTERM→SIGKILL ladder absorbed from `subagent-subprocess`, memoized per handle. Windows tree termination (`taskkill /T`, injectable) moved in from lsp-local, so tree semantics are platform-correct for every consumer.

(The stdin-EOF-first dispose ladder initially absorbed from `subagent-subprocess` later moved back out to its one consumer — see the [ladder-ownership Agent Note](2026-07-27-dispose-ladder-to-consumer.md).)
- **One scrub definition**: `scrubbedParentEnv()`/`SENSITIVE_ENV_PATTERN` live on the seam. Spawners that cannot route the spawn itself through the service — pty-local (node-pty owns the fork) and mcp-client (the MCP SDK owns the transport spawn) — import the function, so environment policy is single-sourced even where process ownership is not; the SDK helper's `scrubEnvironment()` defaults through it as well.
Migrations landed with the reshape: **bash-local/bash-sandbox** (collect modes + batch stdin; the bash `kill()` maps to `terminate()` so `task_kill` keeps escalation semantics), **lsp-local** (piped protocol streams + a no-spill collected stderr tail; `LspConnection` takes the seam's spawn function; its private tree-op helpers deleted), **subagent-acp** (piped ndjson streams + inherited stderr; spawn failure surfaces through `done` rejection into the same startup race; disposal is `handle.dispose` with the plugin's configured graces). **`dsh-subagent-subprocess` is deleted** — the dispose ladder and scrub are the seam's; the unused isolated-config-dir helper died with it (no consumer existed).

## Consequences
Bought: one implementation of tree signalling, escalation, the dispose ladder, bounded collection, and the scrub, tested once in `dsh-subprocess-local`'s suites (including injected-platform Windows coverage that lsp-local's private copy never had); lsp-local and subagent-acp shed their process plumbing and their children now survive plugin reloads and die with composition teardown like bash's; a whole package (`dsh-subagent-subprocess`) is gone. The seam README's "one consumer family" limitation is retired.

The seam README's "one consumer family" limitation is retired.
Cost: the seam is wider — three stdio modes and four termination verbs instead of one of each — so a future backend implements more surface; the compositions for lsp-local/subagent-acp each carry the subprocess row now; and `SubprocessOutcome` no longer carries output, a breaking shape change inside the still-unreleased stack (the PR2 layer was updated in place rather than shimmed, per the pre-release stance). pty-local/mcp-client/SDK/test-support spawns remain outside the service by ownership, with the scrub as the shared floor.
