feat(app): the client and app work on options and controls

The agent snapshot's `options` are the state and `controls` only draw them. Running and closed agents draw from the snapshot; drafts and profile forms ask `provider.controls.list.request` with their `providerOptions`, so aliases such as a legacy Fast profile's `service_tier: "fast"` are resolved once, by the daemon, and the draft keeps Fast highlighted. A draft adds only the user's edits and each provider's last-used control values; applying a profile seeds its non-control options (e.g. `sandbox_mode`) into the draft, and a profile form saves them back instead of pruning to the controls it can draw. A daemon without `server_info.features.providerOptionControls` still sends `features` and `featureValues`. `LegacyProviderOptions` in the client package is the one place that translates snapshots, draft listings, create and apply requests, and daemon-config profiles, so the app never branches on it. Persisted preferences and tab layouts rename `featureValues` through tagged COMPAT preprocessors. The features/controls bridge moves from the server into the protocol package so the client can reuse it.
