Assert the initial-sync messages from Run.

stubAlwaysOnInitialSync allows zero calls to each manager. The tests can pass if Run stops sending policy, process-baseline, or network-baseline sync messages. Assert that all three messages are sent when the capability set is empty.

The diff looks good to me. I have passed this through 🤖 and its minor findings were related to connections to sensors that don't advertise the caps. I went all the way back to 4.6 and the caps were still always-on. So the newest version that may warrant those findings is 4.5, which is long out of support and not even supposed to connect to 4.10 as far as I understand.

I'll paste here the conclusion I shared previously in our conversation about back-porting this to 4.10:

I was thinking of the following scenario:

A customer runs 4.10 central and 4.8 sensors (or anything <4.10)
We backport #23933 to 4.10, and they upgrade their central, so it now assumes sensor has those capabilities.
However those may actually be not advertised by their old sensors based on feature flags etc.

I asked :robot_face: to investigate this by looking into sensor code in release branches all the way back to 4.6, and it seems we’re in the clear:

In every release line, all 7 capabilities are wired into the same static components list in sensor.CreateSensor with no feature-flag, env var, or install-method gate on registration or on their Capabilities() methods. SendDeduperStateOnReconnect is the strongest case — it’s not even component-based, it’s a hardcoded capsSet.Add(...) in central_communication_impl.go on every connection attempt. The only “conditionals” found anywhere (compliance-operator’s health-ticker restart gated on a Central-side cap, audit-log collection’s runtime enable/disable, SensorCapturesIntermediateEvents pausing the detector queue) all govern whether the underlying feature does something, not whether the capability is advertised — so they don’t affect the Central-side assumption at all.

So given the already very low likely hood that such scenario would happen, and the fair certainty that it would not be a problem anyway, I would vote for backporting #23933 instead of waiting.

Therefore LGTM from my side. Thanks for doing this cleanup!
