Oliver Kieselbach ec945a93d2 fix(agent): bar replayed ESP exits from the completion gate entirely
Round-three review, confirmed. The previous round stopped a replayed exit from
arming the DEFERRED re-check but left the immediate synthesis attempt right below
it untouched. My justification for that — "pre-existing behaviour" — was simply
wrong: the immediate attempt on a replayed exit never existed, because the
backfill had no caller. I introduced it, and by moving the replay behind the IME
state restore I made the dangerous state reachable by design: if the newest 62407
in the window is only the intermediate DeviceSetup→AccountSetup exit while the
restored app states are already terminal, that attempt opens the strong
AccountSetup gate before the final exit has even happened. A test was pinning the
faulty assumption as expected behaviour.

A replayed exit now returns before touching completion at all — no deferred edge,
no immediate attempt. Nothing available to it can establish its position in time:
Shell-Core writes the identical description for both exits, and every probe that
could order it reads state as it is now rather than at the event's time. The
replay keeps the job it was written for in session 772fe502 — feeding EspExiting,
FinalizingSetup and the Hello wizard to the reducer for the window in which no
agent process was observing. Completion is the exclusive business of exits this
agent watched live.

With the synthesis attempt gone, the replay no longer needs restored app states,
so it moves back into EspAndHelloHost.Start(); that also keeps this host's startup
independent of the IME host's. ImeLogHost.onStateRestored goes back to doing just
the re-check, which is still needed for a live exit observed before the restore
finishes.

The test asserting the faulty assumption is inverted, plus coverage that the
replay is not neutered (EspExiting still forwards) and that a live exit following
a replayed one completes normally.

Agent V2.Core 2364, DecisionCore 533, Backend 4287, all green.
