Skip and log unreadable pane trees during tab restore

[amriksingh0786]

Description

read_sqlite_data was using filter_map(read_root_node(...).ok()?) to assemble the saved tabs of a window, which silently dropped every tab whose pane tree failed to deserialize. After the 2026-04-14-150000_add_code_pane_tabs and 2026-04-17-020439_add_custom_vertical_tabs_title_to_pane_leaves migrations, a single bad leaf (typically an orphan code_panes row) would short-circuit the iterator and cause the user to lose every tab in that window — not just the broken one.

This PR replaces the silent drop with skip-and-log: a log::warn! keyed by the offending tab id, and the iterator continues with the remaining tabs.

let root = match read_root_node(conn, tab_id_for_log) {
    Ok(root) => root,
    Err(err) => {
        log::warn!(
            "Skipping tab id={tab_id_for_log} during restore: failed to read pane tree: {err}"
        );
        return None;
    }
};

No schema change. No new migration. Read-side fix only — safe to roll back via revert.

The fix prevents future tab loss but cannot recover sessions already overwritten by save_app_state on the broken stable_02 build; that data is gone before this code runs.

Fixes #9109.

Testing

Added 3 behavioural tests in app/src/persistence/sqlite_tests.rs:

• restore_skips_bad_pane_tree_keeps_others — DB with [good, bad, good] tabs returns the two good tabs and emits the warn for the bad one.
• restore_logs_error_on_bad_blob — the warn-and-skip path runs without panicking.
• restore_with_all_bad_blobs_returns_empty_not_panic — graceful degradation when every tab is bad: empty list, no panic.

Plus three small fixture helpers (terminal_tab_snapshot, code_tab_snapshot, window_with_tabs) and orphan_all_code_panes to deliberately break pane trees the same way the April migrations did.

./script/presubmit is clean: cargo fmt, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --tests -- -D warnings, clang-format, wgslfmt, and the targeted cargo nextest run -p warp 'persistence::sqlite' all green. The 5 shell_integration_tests::*ssh* failures observed locally are unrelated to this change — they require a Docker SSH container — and are skipped on fork PRs per #9304.

Manually verified on macOS: dev build (cargo run) restored an existing 3-tab window cleanly, with no Skipping tab id= warnings (correct behaviour on a healthy DB — that branch only fires on bad blobs).

CHANGELOG-BUG-FIX: Tabs no longer disappear on restart when one pane fails to read from the persistence DB; the bad tab is skipped and logged instead.

Overview

This PR rewrites the per-tab read_root_node failure path during SQLite restore to log a warning before skipping that tab, and adds corruption fixtures around missing code_panes rows.

Concerns

• The implementation does not change the skip behavior claimed by the PR: the old .ok()? inside filter_map already returned None for the current tab and continued to later tabs. The new tests assert that existing behavior, so they do not demonstrate or fix an all-tabs-loss regression.

⚠️ [IMPORTANT] This preserves the previous behavior: .ok()? inside filter_map also returned None for just this tab and continued iteration, so the added behavioral tests would pass before this change. Please add a regression that fails on the old code or fix the actual path that causes all tabs to be lost.

@captainsafia @seemeroland, flagging since you both helped land #9503. Would value your call here.

@oz-for-oss you're right. I missed that .ok()? inside filter_map already returns None for just the failing item and continues iteration. The behavioral tests in this PR pass on the old code too, so they don't demonstrate the regression. Apologies for the misanalysis.

Looking at the wider failure surface, the actual all-tabs-loss path is at app/src/persistence/sqlite.rs:164-174: any Err from read_sqlite_data (including from the early ? propagations on windows.load, Tab::belonging_to(...).load, or panels.load at lines 2659-2671) bubbles up to the caller, which sets app_state = None and wipes every window. The April migrations don't directly touch windows/tabs/panels, but a partial-migration or downgrade scenario could leave Diesel-expected columns missing on those tables. The original reporter is on stable_02 specifically; a maintainer on the issue thread also couldn't reproduce, which is consistent with a DB-state-dependent failure.

Without a reproducer DB I'd be guessing at the exact failing query. Two options:

1. Close this PR as misdiagnosed; the issue stays open for someone with a repro.
2. Narrow this PR to keep the warn-and-skip as a defensive observability improvement only. Iterator behavior is unchanged, but a future failure leaves a log line keyed by the bad tab id instead of a silent drop. Description, commit message, and changelog get rewritten to be honest about scope: this does not fix Breaking regression: tabs cannot be restored after closing in v0.2026.04.15.08.45.stable_02 #9109; it just makes the next report easier to triage. Issue stays open.

Leaning toward (1) since (2) feels like salvaging a misframed PR. Happy to do either. What would you prefer?
