Preload compact history on first turn after app restart (#753 hedge) (#769)

* Preload compact history on first turn after app restart (#753 hedge)

Symptom (confirmed on Copilot CLI, originally reported on Codex in
#753): after closing and reopening Netcatty, the AI chat UI still
shows the prior conversation but the agent responds "this is the
beginning of our conversation, no previous records". Earlier context
is lost entirely.

Root cause: the bridge relied on session/load throwing "not found" to
trigger the catch-block fallback that replays compact history. Some
ACP agents (Copilot CLI, some Codex builds) silently spawn a new
session when handed a stale id instead of erroring. The catch-block
never fires → historyReplayFallback stays false → the first turn
sends only the latest prompt → agent sees zero context.

Fix: when we're creating a new provider process AND telling it to
resume an existing session id AND the renderer gave us compact
history, preload historyReplayFallback=true as a hedge. If the agent
really did reload the session, the replay is ~3KB of redundant
context (small waste). If the agent silently started fresh, the
replay restores durable constraints + last few raw turns so the
first response is coherent.

After the first successful streamed turn clears the flag (the round-2
post-stream hook), steady state is back to sending only the latest
prompt. Cost is bounded to one replay per app-restart-and-prompt.

Test: "replays compact history on the first turn after app restart
even when session/load 'succeeds'" — mocks createACPProvider to
behave like Copilot CLI (no error thrown, no real resume), asserts
the first streamText call carries history+latest (length 2) and the
second only latest (length 1).

+- Do not review those surfaces as public APIs by default, and do not assume they must support third-party callers, manual launches, or non-Netcatty agents.
