Mechanical part of the port: the 27-file patch was cut against a base ~148
commits behind us, so it did not apply. Resolved 11 conflicts (all of them
diff drift, not semantic clashes) and the three file deletions:

- app.py: the patch re-inserted _do_rename/_do_name_addr/_seek_split etc. as
  "theirs" because our tree moved them to edit_ctl.py/trace_ctl.py. Kept ours
  and applied the real intent (WorkerClient-&gt;CodeModeClient, .call-&gt;.invoke,
  _open_worker_client-&gt;_open_database_client) at their current homes.
- domain.py: kept Head as a NamedTuple -- the patch reverted it to a frozen
  dataclass, which the perf work measured at 2.9us vs 1.9us per row on a
  quarter-million-row walk. Dropped _fetch_output (no download_url under Code
  Mode) and its now-dead urllib/json imports.
- pane.py: the patch's deletion swallowed our zellij support along with the
  worker-reaping block it meant to remove. Kept zellij, removed the reaping.
- test_scenarios.py: the idb_save-&gt;save_database teardown hunk belongs to
  tests/_fixtures.py in our tree; applied it there and kept our pc_num_format
  scenario that the drift landed on.

Three defects in the patch itself, fixed here:

- It made "import idatui" hard-require ida_codemode, so every offline suite
  died at import -- including the pure ones (graph/index/trace) that are the
  house rule for "tests/run.py --fast". The import is now deferred and gated
  on the binding, which is also what lets the port's own contract tests
  inject a fake DatabaseHandle.
- project.stage() inlined an ida_codemode.registry import and treated "library
  not installed" as "someone owns this database", which broke IDA-free project
  staging. Ownership lookup moved to codemode_client.database_owner().
- tests/test_codemode_client.py had no NEEDS_IDA marker, which tests/run.py
  rejects outright.

Offline suite: 301 passed, 0 failed. Against master's 344 the whole delta is
accounted for: -40 worker_client (module deleted), -18 launch sweep checks
(behaviour deliberately removed) +3 guarding that it stays removed, +2 pool
(GUI-save semantics), +13 new codemode_client contract tests.

NOT yet done, and the port is not functional without it: the adapter is
missing five operations our tree grew since the patch's base (flowchart,
op_format, pc_nums, pc_num_format, survey_binary) and its "heads" predates
back-walking and digest/expect.

_sweep_locks removes the scratch IDA unpacks beside a .i64 (.id0/.id1/.id2/
.nam/.til) when an open fails, keyed on both the full name and the stem. It
never touched the .i64, which is the dangerous one everybody thinks of.

It did delete the input. '.til' is an unpacked-DB suffix AND the extension of an
IDA type library, so 'ida-tui mylib.til' swept its own argument out of
existence -- irreversibly, on a path that runs automatically. Same for anything
named *.id0/*.id1/*.id2/*.nam. Now the sweep skips whatever it was asked to
open, compared as an absolute path so a relative argument is covered too.

tests/test_launch.py pins the whole contract: what it takes, what it must never
take (the .i64, the input, the neighbours), and what it reports. Pure, in the
--fast tier. It is the right shape of test for code whose failure mode is
deleting the wrong file.

Also: _load_args parsed the base with bare int(), which raises on the
'0x8000000' string a project file writes. Unreachable from our own CLI (which
int()s first) but the asymmetry with project._as_addr was a trap, so both go
through the same parser now.

813 checks; --fast is 324 in 3.4s.
