@fireblue diagnosed the production failure mode: long canonical timeline catch-up could exceed the relay WebSocket frame cap, close with 1009, and send clients into a reconnect loop. Their seatbelt fix also removed the `limit: 0` footgun that let app callers request an unbounded frame.
This maintainer pass keeps that diagnosis and redirects the UX around bounded projected pages:
- initial agent load fetches the latest canonical tail
- app resume/reconnect re-fetches the latest tail instead of chaining after-cursor pages
- in-stream gaps still use bounded after-cursor catch-up
- older history loads explicitly when the user scrolls to the oldest edge
- shared page size is TIMELINE_FETCH_PAGE_SIZE = 100 projected timeline items, matching the daemon's canonical projection semantics rather than raw delta chunks
Original diagnosis and fix by @fireblue.
