fix(server): preserve code in agent-to-agent messages

Agent-originated prompts reached the receiving model with shell punctuation
and literal entities XML-escaped. Preserve ordinary body text while keeping
reserved envelope tags reversible and legacy history readable.

Fixes #7520

-### Options flow
-
-`options` on the agent snapshot is the only option state. Controls describe how to draw an
-option and read `options`; they hold no value of their own. Any option can be read and set with
-or without a control.
-
-- **Create and resume.** The provider opens with the options it is given and emits nothing about
-  them while opening. `openOptionsPatch` carries every option the session ended up with that
-  differs from what it was given, including a setting nobody asked for (a native default such as
-  Cursor opening with Fast on). It is set before `createSession`/`resumeSession` resolves and the
-  daemon stores it before the agent is published. A reopened agent resumes that state, so a
-  native default the provider later changes does not follow. `options` on the snapshot is what
-  the session opened with, and afterwards it moves only through an apply or an `options_changed`.
-  Editing a provider default in `config.json` affects agents the next time they open.
-- **Live apply.** `applyOptions` receives the keys the patch touches, resolved against the
-  `config.json` defaults. A removal arrives as the default the key falls back to, or `null` when
-  there is none; the provider returns the setting to its own default if it can, or throws to
-  reject. A key the running session cannot apply (one the provider reads only when it opens) is
-  rejected too, so a stored option always describes what runs. Claude reads most options when it
-  starts its query, and replacing a started query would end its background work, so after the
-  first prompt only Fast can change. Codex fixes its approval policy and sandbox when the thread
-  starts, so it applies only `service_tier` and `plan_mode` live. A session with no
-  `applyOptions` rejects every patch; the daemon enforces this. The provider returns the options
-  it ended up with when they differ from the request. The daemon
-  stores the patch and that result in one step after the call resolves, onto the agent's options
-  as they are at that moment, so the last write wins. Throwing rejects the whole patch and
-  none of it is stored. Emit nothing from inside the call. If the provider's own state moved
-  before it refused, it reports the moved values once as `options_changed` after the call has
-  ended, because the stored options must match what runs.
-- **Old data converts in the agent manager.** Codex used to take `fast_mode`; it takes
-  `service_tier` now. `AgentManager` runs `convertLegacyOptions` (`option-controls.ts`) on an
-  agent's own options when it creates, resumes, imports, reloads or applies to it, and on draft
-  controls, before defaults merge and before anything is stored (`true` is `"fast"`, `false` is
-  `"default"`, and a `service_tier` in the same input wins). The manager converts for the adapter
-  behind the provider id, following `derivedFromProviderId`, so a custom provider with
-  `extends: "codex"` is converted too. Configured defaults convert in the provider registry. A
-  stored record keeps `fast_mode` until the agent is next opened or applied to, and is stored
-  converted from then on. Nothing past the manager sees `fast_mode` for Codex. Codex resolves
-  `"fast"` to the model's Fast tier and reports the id it runs through `openOptionsPatch` or the
-  `applyOptions` result like any other value. The `featureValues` to `options` fold is separate
-  and provider-agnostic; it stays at the protocol and legacy edges.
-- **Provider-initiated changes.** A setting the provider changes on its own is an
-  `options_changed` event. The daemon stores and forwards it and does not push the old value back.

-Draft metadata lookups should avoid creating provider sessions when the upstream provider has top-level APIs for that metadata. Prefer `AgentClient.fetchCatalog`, `listCommands`, or `listControls` over creating a scratch `AgentSession`; scratch sessions can show up as empty native sessions in provider import/history UIs. `fetchCatalog` is the single discovery API for models and modes — provider implementations may use one process, separate upstream calls, or static data internally, but callers outside the provider do not get separate runtime model/mode probes. Draft command listing and scratch-session control listing require an explicit draft model. Do not resolve a default model through catalog discovery.

 Provider session import has its own contract. The picker calls `listImportableSessions` and receives rows only: provider handle, cwd, title, prompt previews, and last activity. Import calls `importSession({ providerHandleId, cwd })` for the selected row and must not call listing again. The provider returns the resumed session, storage config, persistence handle, and hydrated timeline for that one native session; `AgentManager.importProviderSession` seeds the daemon timeline and publishes the Paseo agent only after it is ready.
