A new relayAwaitsHandoff signal is now tracked through session resume/fork startup

What

A new value called relayAwaitsHandoff is now passed into the configuration used when a session starts up during resume or fork, and it's used to annotate a teleport-boot telemetry event (recording when a "teleport boot" doesn't get reached) as well as a check for empty hydration (loading of prior session state).

Why

This gives Claude Code's telemetry and startup logic more precise information about when a session is waiting on a handoff during resume or fork, though the finding doesn't specify the exact effect for users.
