test(lanes): stop lane-lifecycle from leaking real tmux + claude processes

Four cases in lane-lifecycle.test.js call /start without stubbing PATH,
so they spawn the real system `claude` binary in a real tmux session
to simulate a stuck/live run. Each then mocks tmux's own exec calls to
fake has-session/kill-session for the app's checks, but never touches
the real spawned process — the mock only fools the app, not the OS.
Two of these leaked past every prior test run undetected (ccam-lane-22,
ccam-lane-24), surfacing in the dashboard's live "Dashboard runs" list
with no DB record and a garbage started_at, and reappearing in a
Workspace split pane pointed at a deleted temp directory.

Stub a lightweight fake `claude` on PATH (same pattern already used
correctly elsewhere in this file) instead of spawning the real CLI, and
explicitly kill the real tmux session in each test's teardown since the
app-level mock never reaches the OS process.
