Correct the claim that reattach is local only
Written down as "an ssh session's child dies with its connection, so it takes the ordinary --resume path". The code never had that branch: `start` records a pid whatever the transport, and for a remote session the process the backend owns is the ssh client. Adopting it is right -- the fifo feeds it, its logs capture the far end, and ssh lives exactly as long as the remote command, so its liveness is the session's. The docs claimed less than the code does, which is the safe direction to be wrong in but still wrong, and it was about to mislead someone: a remote `claude` has an sshd pipe on stdin under every version of this server, because the fifo is on the backend's side of the connection. Reading a remote session's stdin therefore says nothing about which backend started it, and we were an inch from concluding otherwise.
