HOK-1403_c: Suppress branch deletion messages from task backlog pane

[timogilvie]

Summary

• Suppressed branch deletion confirmation messages from appearing in the task backlog pane
• Changed messages to debug level so they only appear in logging output, not UI
• Added test harness stubs for _restore_inflight_task_window_if_missing function

Changes

• shared/lib/wavemill-mill.sh: Changed 4 branch cleanup log calls from standard logging to debug level:
  • Window closure message
  • Worktree removal message
  • Local branch deletion message
  • Remote branch deletion message
• tests/lifecycle-harness.test.sh: Added stub for _restore_inflight_task_window_if_missing
• tests/lifecycle-scenarios.test.sh: Added stub for _restore_inflight_task_window_if_missing

Test plan

• Self-review passed with no blockers
• Changes maintain existing behavior while suppressing UI messages
• Test stubs support harness infrastructure

Self-review

• Verdict: ready
• 0 iterations needed
• No code issues or warnings found

Challenge type: coder-only

Recommended winner: challenger (claude-sonnet-4-6)
Other PR: #376

The task was to route branch-deletion messages into the logging section only. The challenger's fix is directly aligned: it reroutes the ✓ Closed window, ✓ Removed worktree, ✓ Deleted local branch, and ✓ Deleted remote branch log calls to the existing log "debug" level (a pattern already used for the adjacent ℹ Remote branch already deleted line). The primary instead tightens git stdout suppression (2>/dev/null → >/dev/null 2>&1), which addresses a related but secondary leak, and bundles in significant unrelated changes: a new _pane_metadata_unavailable helper with call sites in agent_pane_is_ready/agent_verify_launch, and flipping persisted_phase from planning to coding in the startup runner. Those unrelated edits expand blast radius well beyond the reported bug and could regress unrelated flows. The challenger's only scope slippage is a startup-handoff test stub and expectation flip, which is narrower and less risky than the primary's behavioral changes.
