Subject: [PATCH] fix(lifecycle): propagate RepositoryName through
 PublishGitStatus
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The agentctl WorkspaceTracker stamps every per-repo GitStatusUpdate
with RepositoryName, but the lifecycle PublishGitStatus translation
into GitEventPayload was dropping that field. The orchestrator then
forwarded a status with empty repository_name, the frontend store
routed everything into the empty-key bucket, and the Changes panel's
multi-repo grouping never triggered — no header, no per-repo split.

- GitStatusData gains RepositoryName (omitempty so single-repo
  payloads stay byte-identical on the wire).
- PublishGitStatus copies update.RepositoryName onto the payload.
- Test asserts the field survives the publish → subscribe round trip
  via the in-memory event bus on the GitEvent.<sessionID> subject.

Restart the agentctl process for any running multi-repo task to pick
up the new field; new launches get it automatically.
