Part of the automations' move onto the central live layer (with Realtime off, LUKE_REALTIME unset). It stacks on #3289, which adds the service's live reads live.automations and live.automationRuns.

What changes

The Automations pages stop reading their list and runs every minute. Instead, the host follows what a page draws and pushes it.

• Host follow (packages/host/src/automation-follow.ts)
  • Follows a workspace's automations, or one automation's runs, through liveRows: held polls while Realtime is off, a subscription when it's on.
  • Each read names the account that was signed in when the follow started.
  • Builds the list or history from the rows. Builds it again at the one moment the clock alone moves a run's agent (a grace ending, via statusClockEdge).
  • Signed out: the follow ends quietly. Not found: it says so and ends. Any other failure: says unanswered and retries after 5 s.
• Composer and gateway
  • automations.follow and automations.unfollow gateway methods, plus an automations.changed event, as the transcript follow has.
  • Following again starts over, so a second window gets the current list at once.
  • A sign-out (closeCapabilities) resets every follow.
• Act port
  • automations.follow is an eventIterator procedure, the same pattern as codingAgents.transcript (feat(host): a window follows an agent's transcript as a stream of pushed pages #4175).
  • It's built on main's shared followedStream: two pages on one list share one host follow, a later stream gets the last change straight away, and the last stream to close lets the follow go.
• Panel
  • useAutomations and useAutomationRuns hold the stream open while their page stands (use-followed-automations.ts). Retry reopens it.
  • Removed: useMinute, the generation counter, the re-read after every write, and the re-read after Run now.
  • A write's answer still lands in place at once, until the next push replaces it.

Not included

• No txid waits and no web-tab bridge. A web tab gets the same act-port stream.
• The one-shot automations.list and automations.runs acts stay. The workspace settings page still counts automations with one read.

Checks

• Typecheck is clean for host, features, panel and service.
• Tests: the full host suite (524), the service suites (89), and the panel suites that use automations (477), including (new composer and act-port stream tests).
  • The page tests answer the follow with a stream that takes pushes.
  • The fake act port answers a follow from a suite's list or runs stub when the suite doesn't stub the follow itself.
• oxlint, repository checks and knip pass (knip shows only the findings already on main).
