Mohamed Boudra 9696f42264 Subscribe only the chats this session opened (#5040)
* fix(app): subscribe only the chats this session opened

Open-chat membership was sourced from the persisted workspace layout, which is
restored from disk at launch and carries a tab for every chat the user has ever
opened on the host. Every member got an authoritative timeline catch-up at
session start, and each of those fetches resumed its agent on the daemon: one
provider session per historical tab, every launch.

Two things followed from each resume. Registration stamped `updatedAt` over the
restored timestamp, and the resumed agent started with no attention because the
resume path never read the stored flag. Both were persisted, so restarting Paseo
rewrote every workspace's last-used time in the sidebar and cleared Ready to
review on chats the user never looked at. The timestamp loss was permanent:
workspace `statusEnteredAt` is re-derived from `updatedAt` on every daemon start.

Keep the open set on the session instead. A chat joins it the first time the user
opens it and stays until its tab closes or the session ends, so hiding, switching
workspaces, evicting a retained view, backgrounding and reconnect all preserve the
subscription, with no recent-agent limit. Layout keeps its release role and loses
its source role.

Harden the producer as well, so a resume from any caller stays inert: registration
adopts restored timestamps rather than stamping now, and resume carries the stored
attention through.

* fix(agents): keep a resumed agent's updatedAt from moving backwards

Dropping the registration stamp exposed a skew the stamp had been erasing.
`extractTimestamps` read `lastActivityAt ?? updatedAt`, but the two diverge:
renaming, labelling, restoring from archive, marking unread, and clearing
attention all move `updatedAt` on an unloaded agent without touching
`lastActivityAt`. Eight of 854 agent records on one dev machine carry that skew,
up to eight days of it.

A resume then handed clients a timestamp older than one they already held, and
`acceptAgentDirectoryUpdate` drops any state update that goes backwards. Marking
a chat unread without opening it, then opening it, left the unread dot stuck in
History, the agent list, Command Center and the tab: the daemon cleared attention
and the client refused the update.

Read both fields and take the newest, which is already the rule
`resolveStoredAgentPayloadUpdatedAt` applies to the list payload. Move that
function beside the other stored-record readers as `resolveStoredAgentUpdatedAt`
so one rule covers both paths.

Also replace the `!options?.updatedAt` inference in `registerSession` with an
explicit `restoring` flag. The inference was correct for all four call sites, but
it made a second meaning out of a field, and the next caller to seed a timestamp
would have opted out of activity stamping silently.

* test(app): assert a reloaded layout subscribes only the chat it restores into

No e2e reloaded the page with a populated workspace layout and asserted which
agents the daemon acknowledged, so the regression this branch fixes had no
end-to-end guard. Opening four chats across two workspaces leaves a tab per chat
in persisted layout; after a reload only the restored chat may be subscribed,
because subscribing resumes that agent on the daemon.

Verified it fails when session-context's layout callback is pointed back at
replaceVisibleAgentIds: the three restored tabs nobody opened join the
acknowledged set.
