## What
Fixes the create-agent dialog's "Run on" provider config fields eating
keystrokes — reported by Tyler in buzz-remote-agents (channel
`29414326`, thread `db76677a`): the Kubernetes **Kubeconfig context**
field would not accept typing.
## Why it happened (the Typewriter Eraser, shipped in #4289)
`WhereToRunSection`'s probe `useEffect` depended on the whole `draft`:
1. every keystroke changed the draft → effect re-fired → provider binary
re-probed;
2. each probe result is a fresh object written into the draft → the
effect re-triggered **itself**, respawning the provider binary in a loop
for as long as the dialog sat on a provider;
3. every probe resolution reset `providerConfig` to schema defaults —
erasing whatever was typed. A field with no schema default (`context`)
snapped back to empty, i.e. "won't let me type". Unrelated to how many
kubeconfig contexts you have.
## Fix
- **Probe once per provider selection**, keyed on the provider's stable
`binaryPath` — not the draft, not the provider object (a
`useBackendProvidersQuery` refresh must not reprobe an unchanged
selection).
- **Latest-state resolution** via `React.useEffectEvent` + a new pure
`applyProbeResult` helper: schema defaults merge **beneath** the current
`providerConfig`, so a probe landing after the user typed can never
clobber in-flight input (per Wren's pre-patch red-team: changing deps
alone leaves a stale closure).
Existing `cancelled` cleanup keeps provider-switch/unmount safe;
selection reset (`emptyWhereToRunDraft`) and the fail-closed probe-error
path are unchanged.
## Tests
- **Unit** (`whereToRunIntent.test.mjs`): `applyProbeResult` merge
semantics — defaults under typed values, user-cleared fields stay
cleared, schema-less results, unrelated fields preserved.
- **E2E** (new `where-to-run-config.spec.ts`, added to the smoke
project, **red-first verified**: all 3 fail against the unfixed
component):
- typing into a defaultless provider field sticks, and
`probe_backend_provider` fires exactly once per selection;
- the config form is gated on probe resolution (slow probe: no
half-rendered form, defaults prefill once);
- provider → local → provider re-probes and resets cleanly.
- Mock bridge gains `backendProviders` / `backendProviderProbeResult` /
`backendProviderProbeDelayMs` seams (defaults preserve prior behavior).
## Verification at 8eb7680
- `pnpm check` + `tsc` clean, `pnpm test` 3926/3926;
- new spec 3/3 green (and 3/3 red on the unfixed component);
- pre-push lefthook: desktop-test, desktop-check, desktop-tauri-checks,
rust-tests, mobile-test all green.

### What changed?
Mobile now recovers live subscriptions after retryable or rate-limited
relay `CLOSED` responses. It ports the existing desktop model: classify
terminal versus retryable closures, honor retry hints through a
session-owned rate-limit gate, retry with bounded backoff, and replay
visible-channel subscriptions first in bounded batches.
Channel refreshes also retain unchanged live subscriptions instead of
clearing and recreating them. This is desktop parity, not a new relay
policy.
### Why?
On reconnect or resume, mobile replayed its retained live subscriptions
while `channelsProvider` independently cleared and recreated roughly the
same set, alongside unread catch-up and open-channel requests. The relay
allows 50 REQs per 5 seconds, so users in many channels could
predictably exceed the budget. In live reproduction, 55 subscriptions
produced 9 rate-limit closures, 60 produced 18, and 80 produced 36.
Mobile then treated every live `CLOSED` as terminal, removed the
affected subscription, and never restored it. Channel updates could
remain dead until a later session reconstruction. This is the primary
causal chain behind
[BOT-1449](https://linear.app/squareup/issue/BOT-1449/buzz-mobile-posted-messages-dont-appear-until-leavingre-entering-the).
Desktop already handles this as normal transient pressure by classifying
closures, gating and backing off retries, pacing reconnect replay, and
retaining unchanged subscriptions. This change brings mobile to the same
recovery model while removing the avoidable request burst.
### How is it tested?
Full mobile suite: 721 passed, 1 skipped. Analyzer and formatting checks
pass. Required CI checks pass.
Added and updated tests cover `CLOSED` classification, retry hints,
rate-limit gating, bounded retry and reset behavior, terminal failures,
timer cleanup, history gating, visible-first batched replay, and
retention of unchanged subscriptions.
