Keep older chat history and image previews stable (#2490)

* fix(app): keep timeline history and previews stable

Treat persisted timeline replicas as display-only so authoritative pagination always comes from the daemon. Require renewed user intent between older-history pages unless the viewport genuinely remains at the history edge.

Model assistant image acquisition as loading, loaded, or failed so recreating a preview URL cannot be rendered as an error.

* fix(app): keep file image previews current

* fix(app): stabilize history pagination edges

* fix(app): recover transient timeline loads

* fix(app): retain assistant image previews

* Stabilize history pagination lifecycle

* Stabilize history settlement and image previews

* Retry file images after reconnect

* Keep active previews and pagination requests alive

* Replace image hook tests with typed ports

* Integrate timeline hydration with submission authority

* Harden pre-hydration timeline reconciliation

* Make rewind E2E use real scroll intent

* Preserve live timeline state through hydration

* Keep mounted image attachments retained

* Protect preview persistence and lifecycle hydration

* Preserve idless live assistant continuations

* Preserve timeline rows across delayed hydration

* test(app): cover real assistant image files

* Preserve assistant tool ordering during hydration
