* fix(#2395): persist runtime identity into ~/.gsd/defaults.json for non-Claude installs

Bug: finishInstall for non-Claude runtimes never persisted a 'runtime' key
into ~/.gsd/defaults.json. resolveRuntime() precedence is GSD_RUNTIME env >
config.runtime > 'claude', so both inputs being empty on a Cursor (or any
non-Claude) install caused agent_runtime and every runtime-branded slash
hint to silently fall through to 'claude'. Cursor users saw
'agent_runtime: "claude"' and Claude-formatted /gsd-* hints with no env
or config hand-set.

Fix mirrors the existing resolve_model_ids: 'omit' write site at the same
call site (bin/install.js finishInstall, gated on !_hostBehaviors(runtime)
.nativeModelAliases && !GSD_TEST_MODE). Writes runtime: <runtime> into
~/.gsd/defaults.json when absent/null/empty. Claude is the resolveRuntime()
fallback so it needs no write; an explicit pre-existing runtime value is
always preserved across installs of any runtime.

Pattern parity with #1156 (default-to-omit intent) and #1569 (preserve
explicit user value) — the new write is the third sibling on the same
install-time persistence block.

Regression tests in tests/install.test.cjs cover:
  - absent / null / empty-string runtime → populated to <install runtime>
  - explicit pre-existing runtime preserved (no clobber across runtimes)
  - parameterized across 5 non-Claude runtimes (cursor, codex, opencode,
    antigravity, windsurf)

Out of scope (per triage): the resolveRuntime() precedence order itself
(env > config > default) is unchanged. A separate follow-up noted in the
issue (subagent rendering when runtime correctly identifies as 'cursor')
is unrelated to branding and not addressed here.

* chore(#2395): regenerate golden-install-parity fixtures for new runtime persistence

The golden install-tree fixtures capture the post-install state, including
~/.gsd/defaults.json. For non-Claude runtimes, defaults.json now includes
runtime: <runtime> — content hash updated for each affected runtime (17
golden-install-parity/*.json files). Claude's defaults.json is unchanged
(no runtime key written for Claude — it's the resolveRuntime() fallback).

* chore(#2395): drop product names from changeset fragment (product-name-purity gate)

* test(#2395): move describe out of fix-1521 fold + add same-runtime idempotence test

Code review (correctness subagent) flagged 2 Low test-quality issues:

1. The new Bug #2395 describe was inserted inside the
   folded:fix-1521-real-install-stamping IIFE callback, muddying test
   reporting and tracing the regression to the wrong epic. Moved it
   outside the IIFE close to be a top-level sibling.

2. No explicit same-runtime idempotence test — the suite covered
   cross-runtime preservation (cursor seed → opencode install) but not
   'install cursor twice → second is a no-op'. Added: seeds fresh defaults,
   installs cursor, captures mtime, installs cursor again, asserts runtime
   unchanged AND defaults.json mtime unchanged (idempotent, no rewrite churn).
