59f613c404 fix(desktop): defer foreground resume work (#5696)
## Summary

- defer foreground resume work until the activation task has returned, a
frame has painted, and a trailing task gets a turn
- centralize app-focus subscribers and remove the broad TanStack
`refetchOnWindowFocus` fan-out
- coalesce relay recovery and preserve an explicit deferred refresh only
for workflow data without a polling/push freshness path
- defer the notification permission native check while keeping blur and
cheap correctness signals immediate

## Why

Buzz Desktop 0.5.10 can spend roughly 1.5 seconds in the WebKit
window-focus listener/microtask checkpoint before returning to the run
loop. Focus currently fans out into query refetches, React polling
updates, relay reconnect/replay, and native work in one activation turn.
This patch establishes an interaction-first foreground boundary rather
than letting those consumers compete with the activating input and first
paint.

## Validation

- focused foreground/workflow/relay tests: 18/18 passed before commit
- `pnpm --dir desktop typecheck`: passed before commit
- pre-commit desktop check and file-size gate: passed
- pre-push desktop check, typecheck, and full desktop unit suite:
4,743/4,743 passed at `704e7b4b6618fafce655bb2b07c7a9fe0fc8c643`
- Princess Donut independent adversarial review: PASS after two
lifecycle/freshness blockers were resolved

## Manual test

1. Install the PR build and use Buzz long enough to populate channels,
home, workflows, agents, and other polling surfaces.
2. Switch to another app for 30-60 seconds.
3. Return by clicking Buzz and immediately click a channel or scroll.
4. Confirm the first interaction and paint are prompt, then confirm
channels/home/workflows refresh and a degraded relay reconnects after
the activation boundary.
5. Repeat while rapidly switching away again to verify no resume work
starts after focus has been lost.
