Reuse the validation result after activation.

The install flow probes the temporary path with the two-minute timeout, then renames the file to managedPath. ManagedEndpointRuntime immediately calls resolve, which uses a separate cache key and the ten-second timeout for the activated path.

If antivirus rescans and delays execution after the rename, installation can succeed while activation is skipped or delayed. Preserve the validated result for the activated file revision.

minimal, and validate.

Review comment at @packages/shared/src/relayClient.ts at line 566:
Reuse the successful runVersionProbe result for the installed file revision
after the temporary executable is renamed to managedPath, so activation does not
repeat the probe with a separate cache key and timeout. Preserve the validation
result for the activated path without changing the existing installation
validation.

review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr
