fix(sse): bound the healthy-heap admission fast path (#10437)

The #10183/#10268 fix admitted a busy heavyweight request immediately
whenever the heap was healthy, via an unconditional no-op lease with no
bound of its own -- an unlimited number of "healthy heap" requests could
pile in ahead of the heap-pressure shed path, defeating the point of
admission control.

Adds an independent, bounded healthy-heap headroom budget
(CHAT_ADMISSION_HEALTHY_HEADROOM, tryAcquireHealthyHeadroom()) that the
healthy-heap fast path draws from; once exhausted, requests fall through
to the same bounded-wait/shed path used under real heap pressure, which
is otherwise unchanged. Also fixes a pre-existing gap in
per-connection-admission-9654.test.ts's shared-budget test, which needed
an explicit heapPressureCheck override to keep exercising the #10110
invariant now that a healthy heap gets bounded headroom instead of an
outright reject.

-Resolution goes through the `ExecutorRegistry` (`executors/registry.ts`): every specialized executor is declared in the built-in table of `executors/index.ts` and registered via `registerExecutor(alias, instance)` at module load; `getExecutor()` consults the registry and falls back to a memoized `DefaultExecutor` for any provider without a specialized entry. The full alias → executor mapping is characterized by the golden test `tests/unit/executor-map-golden.test.ts`.
