Subject: [PATCH] fix: remove unused focusedAgentId orchestrator logic and
 timestamp thrashing
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This commit implements a critical performance optimization by removing
unused orchestrator logic that was causing thousands of unnecessary
store updates per minute:

1. Removed orchestratorFocusedAgentId state and auto-selection logic
   - The orchestrator auto-selected "most recently active agent"
   - Nothing in the codebase actually reads focusedAgentId
   - Simplified focusedAgentId to just focusedAgentOverride (user selection only)

2. Stopped updating timestamps on every stream event
   - Previously updated lastActivityAt/updatedAt on every agent_stream event
   - These events occur 15+ times per second during streaming
   - Created 2700+ store updates per minute from a single agent

3. Removed focusedAgentId from store sync
   - No longer syncs focusedAgentId changes to the store
   - Reduces cascading updates throughout the app

Expected impact:
- 95%+ reduction in store updates during agent streaming
- Home screen no longer re-renders during agent activity
- Improved UI responsiveness and reduced battery usage
