feat(capture): capture host-Claude terminal conversations via transcript-tail - #415

Conversation
…ipt-tail Branch 2 of the host-terminal-replaces-chat stack. Moves conversation capture for the host Claude terminal off the (retiring) chat-stream wrap and onto the same transcript-tail path that already captures the sandbox's own Claude. The host terminal's `claude` writes to a DEDICATED CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR (~/.corral/host-claude-config) so its transcripts live in a tree corral owns and the tailer attributes unambiguously to the host origin — the sandbox's Claude otherwise writes to the same ~/.claude/projects/<slug> dir, indistinguishable on disk. The dedicated dir shares auth/settings/plugins with ~/.claude via per-entry symlinks (everything but projects/), so /login, settings and skills behave exactly as in the user's normal claude; only the transcript stream diverges. User-placed real files in the config dir are never clobbered. The tailer is generalized over a convOriginProfile (origin kind + conv-key prefix + parent resolver); the sandbox sweep is unchanged, a host sweep is added over hostClaudeProjectsDir gated on the -claude tmux session being live. tailSandboxFile/ingestSandboxLine become tailTranscriptFile/ingestTranscriptLine. Tests: config-dir seeding (separate projects/, shared symlinks, no clobber). Global (project-less) host terminal capture deferred with the global terminal itself.

What
Branch 2 of 4 in replacing the bespoke ChatDock host chat with a real terminal (stacked on #414).
Moves conversation capture for the host Claude terminal off the (retiring) chat-stream wrap and onto the same transcript-tail path that already captures the sandbox's own Claude (
sandbox_conv_tail.go).The disambiguation problem
The host terminal's
clauderuns in the same workspace cwd as the sandbox's Claude, so by default both write to~/.claude/projects/<slug>/— indistinguishable on disk.Fix: point the host terminal at a dedicated
CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR(~/.corral/host-claude-config) so its transcripts land in a corral-owned tree the tailer reads as host-origin.CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIRrelocates the whole config dir, so the dedicated dir shares auth/settings/plugins with~/.claudevia per-entry symlinks (everything butprojects/) —/login, settings, and skills behave exactly as in the user's normal claude; only the transcript stream diverges. User-placed real files are never clobbered.(Confirmed
