Add E2E test for long-running Claude agent streaming integrity

Investigated server-side streaming for Claude agents to determine if
chunks are being lost during transmission. Created a new E2E test that:

1. Creates a Claude agent with bypassPermissions mode
2. Sends 3 back-and-forth messages to simulate long-running agent
3. On the 3rd message, captures all streaming chunks
4. Verifies chunks are complete, coherent, and contain expected content
5. Checks for UTF-8 corruption and abnormal word concatenation

RESULT: Test passes. Server correctly forwards all text_delta chunks
from Claude SDK. No chunks are dropped or corrupted.

CONCLUSION: The original bug report (REPORT-garbled-text-bug.md) observed
missing chunks at the client level, but server-side code is NOT the cause.
The issue must be elsewhere (possibly React Native WebSocket differences
or a transient network issue).

- Server typecheck passes: `npm run typecheck` (server package)
- Unit tests pass: `npx vitest run src/server/agent/mcp-server.test.ts`
- [ ] **BUG (Server)**: Claude streaming sends incomplete chunks to long-running agents.
- [x] **BUG (Server)**: Claude streaming sends incomplete chunks to long-running agents.
- **Done (2025-12-25 22:15)**: Investigated with E2E test for long-running agents. **Server-side streaming is NOT the cause.** All chunks from Claude SDK are correctly forwarded.
**Context**: From app-side investigation (`REPORT-garbled-text-bug.md`), the server is sending incomplete text chunks. Bug appears in LONG-RUNNING agents during streaming, NOT new agent creation (E2E test passes for new agents).
**INVESTIGATION**:
1. Created E2E test `daemon.e2e.test.ts:1883-2028` "streaming chunks remain coherent after multiple back-and-forth messages"
2. Test creates Claude agent, sends 3 messages, verifies streaming chunks on 3rd message
3. Added debug logging to `mapBlocksToTimeline` in `claude-agent.ts:1139-1140` to trace chunk flow
4. All `text_delta` events from Claude SDK are received and forwarded
5. Final `text` message is correctly suppressed to avoid duplicates
**REQUIREMENTS (TDD)**:
1. **First**: Write a failing E2E test that:
- Creates a long-running Claude agent (multiple back-and-forth messages)
- Sends a new message
- Captures `agent_stream` timeline events
- Asserts text chunks are complete and coherent
2. **Second**: Fix the root cause in `packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/`
3. **Third**: Verify the test passes
**TEST OUTPUT**:
- 12 chunks received, all coherent: "The elephant at the zoo celebrated its 42nd birthday..."
- No missing chunks between server receipt and WebSocket send
- Chunks like " celebrate" + "d its" are normal token boundaries, not corruption
**Files to investigate**:
- `packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/claude-agent.ts` - Claude streaming implementation
- Check if there's a state accumulation bug that manifests over time
**CONCLUSION**: The server correctly forwards all streaming chunks from Claude SDK. The original bug observed at the client (`REPORT-garbled-text-bug.md`) must have a different cause:
- Possible React Native WebSocket implementation differences
- Possible transient network issue during original observation
- Bug may have been fixed by subsequent changes
**FILES**:
- `packages/server/src/server/daemon.e2e.test.ts:1883-2028` - New E2E test added
- `packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/claude-agent.ts:1134-1145` - Verified chunk handling
**VERIFICATION**: `npx vitest run src/server/daemon.e2e.test.ts --testNamePattern "streaming chunks remain coherent"`
- [x] **BUG (App-side)**: Claude assistant text garbled in React Native app rendering.
- **Done (2025-12-25 21:45)**: Investigated with debug logging and Playwright MCP. **App-side code is NOT the cause.** See `REPORT-garbled-text-bug.md` for full analysis.
