Widen the dispose EOF grace past nested-teardown headroom; prove the SIGTERM rung (Codex review round 3)

Two round-3 findings:

(A) The EOF-quiesce window reused the 3000ms SIGTERM grace, the SAME value as
dsh-bash-local's own SIGTERM->SIGKILL grace. The child acp-agent's EOF teardown
disposes its loop, which stops child-owned bash -- and a SIGTERM-trapping bash
grandchild can hold that for up to ~3s before its own SIGKILL, then the child
still owes a final flush. With both graces equal, the parent's SIGTERM fired
exactly as the child reached its own SIGKILL+flush, cutting it off. Split the
EOF grace into its own knob (disposeEofGraceMs, default 6000ms) that exceeds a
single signal-grace of nested-teardown headroom. The child is an arbitrary ACP
agent, so the value is a standalone generous default, NOT derived from any
child's internals. Tier-1 test now uses a flush that outlasts the SIGTERM grace
but fits the EOF grace, so it lands only because the EOF tier honors its own
wider window (proven RED when tier 1 reuses the small SIGTERM grace).

(B) The middle-tier (SIGTERM) test only asserted dispose returned in time, so
an EOF->SIGKILL ladder with the rung removed would still pass. The mock's
MOCK_IGNORE_EOF mode now installs a SIGTERM handler that touches an observable
marker before exiting; SIGKILL is uncatchable, so removing the SIGTERM rung
leaves the marker absent (proven RED). The test asserts the marker exists.
