Auto-resume retries reuse the same broken pooled CLI process after a transport failure

## Summary

GitHub Copilot Desktop detects that a session's bundled `copilot.exe --server --stdio` transport has failed and starts its automatic resume flow, but every retry is routed back to the same known-broken pooled CLI process because it is still reference-counted.

The app retries three times, each attempt fails against the same closed pipe, and the session is marked interrupted. Later session-creation attempts for the same working directory also reuse the broken pool entry and fail. The session only recovered after another active CLI pool process became available and a new message caused the session to be resumed from disk.

This appears to be a Desktop CLI-pool invalidation/replacement bug rather than a missing retry mechanism: retries exist, but they do not replace the failed worker.

## Environment

- GitHub Copilot Desktop: `1.1.8`
- Bundled Copilot CLI: `1.0.79-9`
- OS: Windows 11, build `10.0.26200`, x64
- CLI launch form: `copilot.exe --server --stdio --no-auto-update`
- Session type: long-running local project session

## Observed sequence

The worker failure occurred during a high-concurrency review fan-out, but the recovery defect should apply to any transport failure while the pooled process still has references.

1. At `2026-08-14T19:29:59Z`, the session launched 16 synchronous subagent tasks.
2. At `19:30:12Z`, the CLI session event log stopped abruptly mid-flight. There was no terminal session event or completed subagent result.
3. At `19:31:02Z`, Desktop's liveness probe correctly detected the failed transport:

```text
session liveness probe completed ... status="failed"
failure_kind="transport_failure"
error="The pipe is being closed. (os error 232)"

session liveness probe failed; attempting auto-resume
```

4. Desktop then stopped the SDK event loop and attempted to resume, but the CLI pool repeatedly chose the same broken process:

```text
CLI unresponsive but still in use; reusing existing process
existing_ref_count=2
```

5. All retries targeted that same pool entry:

```text
resume_session failed ... (retry 1/3), retrying in 1s:
The pipe is being closed. (os error 232)

resume_session failed ... (retry 2/3), retrying in 2s:
The pipe is being closed. (os error 232)

resume_session failed ... (retry 3/3), retrying in 4s:
The pipe is being closed. (os error 232)
```

6. Desktop finally stopped retrying:

```text
session liveness probe auto-resume failed; marking session as interrupted
```

7. New session attempts for the same working directory continued selecting the same stale PID and failed with `os error 232` at approximately `20:24Z`, `21:04Z`, and `00:23Z`.
8. At `00:31Z`, a cross-session message found the target session absent from memory, resumed it from disk through a healthy CLI pool process, and completed successfully.

## Expected behavior

When a liveness probe receives a definitive transport failure such as a closed stdio pipe:

- Immediately invalidate the associated pooled CLI process, regardless of its current reference count.
- Detach affected sessions from the failed pool entry.
- Terminate/reap the failed process if it is still resident.
- Spawn or select a healthy CLI process before retrying `session.resume`.
- Never count multiple attempts against the same already-known-bad transport as independent retries.
- Prevent future session creation for the working directory from selecting the invalid pool entry.

## Actual behavior

- The failure is detected correctly.
- Automatic resume is attempted.
- Every retry reuses the same broken process because `existing_ref_count=2`.
- The session is marked interrupted after three guaranteed-to-fail retries.
- Future sessions for the same working directory can inherit the same broken pool entry.
- Recovery requires an external action that causes a healthy pool process to be selected or the app to be restarted.

## Impact

- Long-running sessions appear permanently stalled even though their durable state is recoverable.
- The UI does not explain that retries repeatedly targeted a known-dead transport.
- Users may start duplicate recovery sessions against the same working tree.
- New sessions in the same project can fail until the stale pool entry is displaced.
- The standalone CLI's service-call retry behavior does not help because this failure is in Desktop's child-process/stdio layer.

## Related issues

- https://github.com/github/app/issues/2441 — Desktop resume retries/timeouts, but that report describes retries spawning new CLI processes; this case reuses the same broken pool entry.
- https://github.com/github/app/issues/2276 — app-spawned CLI Windows fast-fail crashes.
- https://github.com/github/app/issues/2303 — leaked `--server --stdio` hosts and pool teardown problems.
- https://github.com/github/copilot-cli/issues/4217 — Windows CLI/libuv shutdown fast-fail.

Those issues cover adjacent failure modes, but I could not find one documenting the exact sequence where liveness detection succeeds, auto-resume runs, and all retries are knowingly routed back to the same failed pooled process because its reference count remains nonzero.

## Diagnostic availability

The complete Desktop log and CLI session event log contain repository/session content and are not attached publicly. Sanitized excerpts, timestamps, and process/session correlation can be provided privately if maintainers need them.

No source files or tests are named. Start by tracing the Desktop liveness probe, auto-resume flow, and CLI pool handling for a closed stdio pipe with a nonzero reference count. Done means a definitive transport failure invalidates the pooled process, affected sessions detach, retries use a healthy process, and later sessions do not select the stale entry.
