fix: harden persistent install startup (#1851)
## Description

Hardens persistent install startup and proxy compression behavior for
issue #1843. Repeated `headroom install start` / scheduled ensure calls
no longer spawn duplicate runtimes by default, and `/v1/compress` now
fails open on compression timeout instead of returning a 503. The PR
also adds a machine-readable platform feature matrix and app-level
stabilization tests for health, compression functionality, timeout
behavior, and matrix evidence.

Refs #1843

## Type of Change

- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
- [ ] New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
- [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality to change)
- [x] Documentation update
- [x] Performance improvement
- [ ] Code refactoring (no functional changes)

## Changes Made

- Wrapped direct persistent deployment starts with the existing
profile-local runtime start lock.
- Made `headroom install start` idempotent when the deployment is
already healthy.
- Added wedged-runtime handling: if a PID is running but `/readyz` does
not recover inside the grace window, stop it before starting again.
- Kept `install agent ensure` inside the already-held lock while
delegating to the shared start helper.
- Changed `/v1/compress` timeout behavior from `503 compression_timeout`
to fail-open `200` with original messages, `compression_skipped: true`,
and `skip_reason: compression_timeout`.
- Added `tests/test_platform_stabilization_functional.py` covering real
FastAPI health/compression routes, successful compression metrics,
timeout fail-open speed, and a real JSON tool payload that reduces
tokens.
- Added `docs/platform-feature-matrix.json` and
`docs/platform-stabilization.md` for Linux/macOS/Windows hardening
coverage and known gaps.
- Strengthened matrix tests so cited local test/workflow paths must
exist.

## Testing

- [x] Unit tests pass (`pytest`)
- [x] Linting passes (`ruff check .`)
- [x] Type checking passes (`mypy headroom`)
- [x] New tests added for new functionality
- [x] Manual testing performed

## Real Behavior Proof

- Environment: Windows 11, PowerShell, Python 3.13.13, worktree
`C:\git\headroom-stabilization` on branch
`jd/cross-platform-stabilization`.
- Exact command / steps: built the Windows wheel with `maturin`,
extracted `_core.pyd`, ran the new FastAPI route tests and
install/matrix tests listed above, then removed generated artifacts
before committing.
- Observed result: direct start paths now no-op when healthy, skip
spawning when the start lock is contended, and stop a wedged runtime
before restart. `/v1/compress` now returns original messages quickly on
timeout instead of a 503. The real JSON tool-payload smoke test returns
`tokens_before > tokens_after`, `tokens_saved > 0`, `compression_ratio <
1.0`, and non-empty transforms through the public route.
- Not tested: full native Windows persistent process e2e remains blocked
by the upstream CRT/wheel issue already documented in workflows and in
the matrix. No real OS service was installed locally; service manager
behavior is covered by argument-level unit tests.

## Additional Notes

CHANGELOG is not updated because this is an unreleased
hardening/test/documentation pass. The platform matrix intentionally
records partial/blocked Windows/macOS e2e gaps instead of claiming full
coverage where the repo cannot currently run it.
