Problem

A HarmonyOS phone (Remote Connect) started a turn on a persisted desktop session that the desktop Web UI had not loaded. agentic://dialog-turn-started carried no workspace facts, so handleDialogTurnStarted created a "Remote Session" placeholder bound to the current workspace (the personal assistant workspace), while the host stored the session under its project workspace. From then on:

• every turn/metadata save, delete_session and archive_session was refused with Session ID is already bound to another workspace;
• the activity read never returned the session, so the row showed the CloudOff "syncing" icon indefinitely;
• the user could neither delete nor archive the row (raw English toast only).

Seen in a user's diagnostics on 1.0.10 (Windows); no earlier fix in history.

Fix

Contract / backend

• AgenticEvent::DialogTurnStarted gains an optional session_binding: SessionWorkspaceBinding (#[serde(default)], omitted when None). The coordinator fills it at every emit site from the loaded session's config without cloning the session.
• The frontend projection flattens it into workspacePath, projectWorkspacePath, executionTarget, workspaceId, remoteConnectionId, remoteSshHost — the same keys session-created already uses, so the existing resolver attributes the placeholder correctly.

Web UI

• Remote-driven placeholders are marked externalPlaceholder. For a persisted session (turnIndex > 0) the placeholder starts metadata-only, so opening it hydrates earlier turns; it then adopts the host's title, mode and binding as soon as its metadata is read, keeping the live turns it already projected.
• A placeholder never writes its guessed title (sessionName / titleMetadata) over the persisted record. Without this, a correct binding would have let the first remote turn rename the real session to "Remote Session".
• A placeholder created earlier without a binding (image-analysis start) is rebound when the turn start names its owner. Sessions loaded from the host are never rebound.
• A full metadata checkpoint is skipped when the stored record cannot be read (e.g. an unreachable SSH workspace) instead of overwriting tags/title facts from an empty base.
• A delivered approval now takes priority over the syncing state; the status mark shows its label on hover.
• Delete / archive / rename / copy failures use localized copy (en-US, zh-CN, zh-TW) and explain a workspace binding mismatch instead of showing raw host text with storage paths. Rename failures were previously silent.

Related fixes found while reviewing remote-control robustness

• session-created now corrects a placeholder that an earlier event (image analysis) projected before it, instead of being ignored.
• Host relay client: a malformed frame (missing field, presence list in an unexpected shape) ended the relay loop permanently, with no disconnect event and no reconnect, leaving the host unreachable from phones and bots until restart. Such frames are now logged and dropped; the loop stops only on a newer connection epoch or a closed event receiver.

Compatibility

• Older hosts (Peer Device, mixed versions) omit session_binding; the payload is unchanged and the frontend keeps its previous fallback. Covered by a legacy-payload deserialization test.
• No persisted shape changes; no new Tauri command.

Remote scenarios

• Remote control: the reported path (relay-driven turn on an unloaded session) is covered by contract, coordinator and frontend fixtures. Not exercised against a live relay or phone.
• Peer Device: projection is shared; old-host fallback covered by fixture only.
• Remote workspace (SSH): checkpoint-skip behavior covered by fixture only.
• Detached Dispatch: unaffected (dispatch sessions keep their own driver).
