Description

## Summary
Buzz Desktop's GitHub/PR watcher injects `code_change_published` and `vcs_state_changed` system events into **every** `runtime: claude` session via embedded-context/channels — not just the lane agent that owns the change. The events are Claude Code CLI system subtypes (strings in the bundled `claude-agent-sdk-darwin-arm64`).

## Observed shapes (from live logs)
- `vcs_state_changed` — fired on push/commit/rebase/merge, `cwd=/Users/danielbrown/.buzz`
- `code_change_published` — carries GitHub PR URLs for `caddie-fun/fairway-fund`

## Impact
- stderr flood in every Claude lane: ~942 lines across current logs (552 vcs + 390 PR)
- Claude agents not involved in the change still receive the events
- Not gh-comment-relay, not in public `block/buzz` main (0 code hits) — the broadcast lives in the Desktop-side watcher

## Expected behavior
1. Scope VCS/PR push events to the **owning lane agent** — same intent as gh-comment-relay / `BUZZ_GIT_ORIGIN_*` (MCP git attribution, `buzz-acp/src/pool.rs`), not a broadcast to every session
2. Add a Settings toggle for the VCS event feed
