feat(hub): client-side transfer leases and the transfers panel
Steps 5 and 6 of ~/next/improve-downloads.md. The node has handed out slots since step 2 and nothing asked for one; now the client does, and the panel shows what is happening. `transport.openTransfer()` returns a Lease: `acquire()` resolves when the node grants, `release()` gives it back exactly once, and nothing else in the client speaks to the node about slots. Whether a node hands out slots is read from the handshake ack rather than guessed from a timeout — "no answer yet" and "this node will never answer" are indistinguishable in time, and guessing wrong either stalls every download or defeats the cap. Two things exist only because a queue can lie: a watchdog re-asks when a pushed grant does not arrive (the node is idempotent on `tr`, so asking again is free), and a grant for a transfer the page has forgotten is handed straight back rather than held until the node's deadline. The slot is asked for **after** there is somewhere to write, and that ordering is load-bearing: opening a target takes thirty seconds of streamed-download timeouts, or as long as somebody leaves a Save As dialog open, and a grant not taken up in time is revoked. Moving it earlier looked better and broke three downloads into one. Pinned by a test. The panel groups by state — running, waiting, finished — rather than re-sorting a flat list, so a row moves only when its own state does. The ETA is withheld until the speed window holds real measurement: a figure from the first two chunks swings between four seconds and an hour, and people plan around the first number they see. One live region announces state changes and not progress. Three silent paths closed on the way: a download refused for want of a user gesture (a browser grants one file picker per gesture, and downloading three files is one gesture) now falls back to the streamed path, which needs none; a click with no connection says so instead of doing nothing at all; and a queued transfer counts as busy, so a transport is never closed under one that is waiting for a grant that could then never arrive.
