fix(issue-50): review findings of PR #56 on macOS

- admission: a `submit --dry-run` record is marked dry_run and is not an
  open job of its session (review 1e25cf2f F1)
- create: the monitor-row adoption requires the row's server to be the one
  this create spawned on (review 1e25cf2f F2)
- pane lock: retry only on contention (BlockingIOError); the docs say the
  flock lasts while any fd-9 holder (the claim shell and the shim) lives
  (review 66680d9d)
- tests on macOS: real-herdr box HOMEs under /tmp (sun_path is 104 bytes),
  resolved paths, the fake claude reads non-canonical input (MAX_CANON 1024)
  and the pane is read unwrapped; lock holders exec their sleep so killing
  them frees the lock; the adoption tests name the server
