feat(source-control): each host package ships a client definition

[juliusmarminge]

Web, mobile and client-runtime switch on the source control kind for host names, change request nouns (PR vs MR), clone and publish picker copy, change request URL shapes and checkout commands. Adding a host means finding every one of those switches. The server side already solved this with one SourceControlDriver per host package. This layer gives the clients the same shape.

Fix

• @t3tools/source-control-core/client/definition adds SourceControlClientDefinition, defineSourceControlClient, makeSourceControlClientRegistry and UNKNOWN_SOURCE_CONTROL_CLIENT. It mirrors @t3tools/provider-core/client.
• Each host package (github, gitlab, forgejo, bitbucket, azure-devops, gitcafe) exports its definition from a new ./client/definition subpath, next to ./server/driver. Client entries import only contracts and core's client entry.
• @t3tools/client-runtime/source-control-clients lists the built-in definitions in picker order and exposes one registry, sourceControlClients. get(kind) returns the definition for a shipped host. A missing kind returns the first entry (GitHub), which is what clients show today before a repository reports its host. Any other kind, unknown included, returns the generic fallback.

Every field is derived from an existing client switch and is either a value or a resolver that every host answers. There are no single-host flags.

Field	Replaces
label, changeRequest, icon	resolveChangeRequestPresentation, getSourceControlPresentation, the Icons switch, OPEN_ON_HOST_LABELS
pickerLabel, repositoryPathHint	the Add Project label and path-hint switches (web and client-runtime)
publishDescription, publishHost	PUBLISH_PROVIDER_OPTIONS and the Forgejo signed-in-host ternary
defaultCloneTransport	getDefaultCloneUrl
checkoutCommand(changeRequest)	pullRequestCheckoutCommand
authorProfileUrl(login, repositoryUrl)	the GitHub-only profile links in the detail panel and summary tab
reviewSummaryRequired(verdict)	requestChangesSummaryRequired={provider === "forgejo"}
changeRequestUrl({ host, repository, number, remoteUrl, webUrl })	changeRequestUrlFor plus the Forgejo webUrl branch in LinkPullRequestDialog
referenceAutolinkRepositoryUrl(repositoryUrl)	the provider === "github" gate on #123 and SHA autolinks in PR markdown
changeRequestUrl({ host, repository, number, remoteUrl, webUrl })	changeRequestUrlFor plus the Forgejo webUrl branch in LinkPullRequestDialog
referenceAutolinkRepositoryUrl(repositoryUrl)	the provider === "github" gate on #123 and SHA autolinks in PR markdown
hostLabelForChangeRequestUrl(url) (registry)	"GitHub" hard-coded in stack and truncated-review copy
isChangeRequestUrl(url), publicHost	the URL-sniffing ternary in ThreadStatusIndicators, and the github.com/gitlab.com guess in loadingPullRequestCheckoutCommand

Nothing reads the definitions yet. The next layer moves web onto them.

Verification

• npx tsc --noEmit -p . is clean in source-control-core, all six host packages and client-runtime.
• vp test run packages/client-runtime/src/sourceControlClients.test.ts passes. The tests cover only the registry: the kind fallbacks and the order GitCafe and Forgejo are tried in for URL attribution. Per-host resolvers are left untested on purpose, so changing one host doesn't spread edits across shared tests.
• vp lint on the added files is clean.
• knip (files/dependencies, plus exports for the touched workspaces) is clean.
• vp i --frozen-lockfile and node scripts/release-smoke.ts pass.
• Effect-shortcut grep over the added lines finds nothing.

GitCafe (landed in #17681) gets its definition here. Its values come from main's switches: cafe pr checkout N, /pulls/ URLs, the git.cafe publish host and SSH clones. Its isChangeRequestUrl claims /pulls/ only on git.cafe and staging.git.cafe. It sits ahead of Forgejo in the built-in list, so the first matching shape wins. That replaces the special case #17681 put at the front of the ThreadStatusIndicators ternary. publicHost is null, as main never guessed a GitCafe checkout from a bare hostname. The registry test covers its URL attribution ahead of Forgejo.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR introduces a new shared source-control client-definition layer plus six host-specific implementations, including URL attribution and checkout-command behavior. Existing consumers are not switched over yet, but the production-capable abstraction is substantial enough to merit human review.
