fix(#2939): honor the declared depth budget in shouldFlattenDispatch (#3063)

* test(#2939): prove shouldFlattenDispatch ignores the depth budget

Failing-first regression for #2939. shouldFlattenDispatch checks only
background+backgroundDispatch, never nested/subagentToolkit/maxDepth, so a
maxDepth:1 descriptor (no room for a bg orchestrator plus a leaf) is told it
may background. Row 1 (codex-like, maxDepth:1) asserts true (flatten) and
fails today; rows 2/3 guard the unchanged depth-sufficient cases.

* fix(#2939): honor the declared depth budget in shouldFlattenDispatch

shouldFlattenDispatch checked only background+backgroundDispatch, never
nested/subagentToolkit/maxDepth, so a maxDepth:1 descriptor (no room for a
backgrounded orchestrator plus a delegated leaf) was told it may background —
producing a depth-2 tree (Codex MultiAgent V2) the declared contract cannot
support.

canBackground now ALSO requires nested:true + subagentToolkit:"full" + a depth
budget > 1 (or unbounded -1), reusing the exact predicate shape from
bin/install.js _normalizeDispatchCallSpan and matching degradationFor's
treatment of maxDepth===1 as flat. Non-finite/missing maxDepth fails closed to
flatten. Correct the two existing pins that asserted the buggy output (bare
{bg,bgDispatch} now fail-closes on missing depth; the codex-like maxDepth:1 pin
flips to flatten) and add a maxDepth:2 negative-space row.

* fix(#2939): propagate depth-aware flatten to all pinned descriptors + tests

The isolated adversarial review found the depth-aware predicate reclassifies
codex/kimi/kimi-code (previously background-eligible under the two-field rule)
to flatten — the correct behavior, since each lacks what a backgrounded nesting
orchestrator needs:

  - codex: maxDepth:1 (no room for a depth-2 leaf)
  - kimi: nested:false (cannot host a nesting orchestrator)
  - kimi-code: subagentToolkit:'built-in-only' (cannot delegate to full subagents)

Only cursor (maxDepth:2) remains background-eligible. Update the three test
files that pinned the old contract (host-integration-descriptors EXPECTED_FLATTEN,
kimi-upgrades UPGRADE 2, trae-imperative-reference), and align the unbounded
convention to maxDepth < 0 (matching degradationFor/negotiateHostCapabilities)
with an accurate docstring noting the deliberate nested-check addition over
_normalizeDispatchCallSpan.

* fix(#2939): update dispatch-should-flatten CLI query pins for codex

The depth-aware rule (a0ad0f680) reclassifies codex (maxDepth:1) to flatten, but
command-routing-hub.test.cjs exercises the contract through the CLI query route
(runGsdTools query dispatch-should-flatten), not a direct shouldFlattenDispatch
call — so neither the reviewer's caller-search nor a grep for the symbol found
it; only the full gsd-test matrix did. Update the codex query assertions to
shouldFlatten=true (maxDepth:1 insufficient), preserving cursor (maxDepth:2 →
false) and the backgroundDispatch:true descriptor field.

* chore(#2939): add changeset fragment

pr:0 placeholder backfilled with the real PR number once the PR exists.

* fix(#2939): rephrase changeset for product-name-purity + opencode flatten pin

Two failures from the full gsd-test matrix on the prior sha:

1. product-name-purity: changeset fragments must not include parenthetical product
   descriptions (they render verbatim into CHANGELOG.md). 'Codex (and kimi/kimi-code)'
   tripped it — rephrase to lead with the behavior, naming runtimes inline without
   the parenthetical. lint:ci changeset-lint does not catch this; only the test does.

2. opencode-imperative-reference: the #2087-retraction pin flipped only the two
   background booleans and asserted shouldFlatten:false. Under #2939 that is no
   longer sufficient (opencode lacks nested + full toolkit + depth budget), so the
   retracted axes now correctly flatten — update the pin to true with rationale.

* chore(#2939): backfill changeset PR number 3063

**Dispatch flattening now honors the declared nesting depth budget, so runtimes that cannot host a backgrounded orchestrator plus a delegated leaf run inline instead of producing an unsupported depth-2 tree** — `shouldFlattenDispatch` checked only the two background booleans, so a host advertising `maxDepth:1` was told it may background, which under Codex MultiAgent V2 produced a depth-2 orchestration tree the declared contract forbids. The decision now also requires `nested` + a full subagent toolkit + a depth budget greater than 1 or unbounded, reusing the convention already in `degradationFor` and `_normalizeDispatchCallSpan`. Runtimes lacking any of those — codex at `maxDepth:1`, kimi with `nested:false`, kimi-code with a built-in-only toolkit — now correctly run inline, the safer path that keeps worktree isolation and verification in force; only cursor remains background-eligible.

* The depth-budget test mirrors the convention already used elsewhere in the codebase:

* as flat, and any `maxDepth < 0` as unbounded; `negotiateHostCapabilities` (same file) also
* treats `maxDepth < 0` as unbounded; `bin/install.js`'s `_normalizeDispatchCallSpan` uses
* `subagentToolkit === 'full' && (maxDepth === -1 || maxDepth > 1)`. This function adopts the
* broader `maxDepth < 0` = unbounded convention from `degradationFor`/`negotiateHostCapabilities`
* (every shipped descriptor uses `-1` for unbounded, so the two conventions agree on live input).
* It is STRICTER than `_normalizeDispatchCallSpan` in one respect: it also requires `nested === true`,
* because a host that cannot nest cannot host a backgrounded orchestrator that delegates —
* `_normalizeDispatchCallSpan` runs per-call after the dispatch decision and does not need that gate.
