fix: preserve new chats created before history loading finishes - #347
There is a bug where new chats (including quick prompts) created before chat history finishes loading results in a "Chat not found" page. This is because the chat thread gets overwritten by the loaded history. This PR fixes the bug by preserving chats created while history is loading, along with chats still connecting when loading begins, so an older history response cannot remove them. It snapshots the existing chat IDs and client-created markers before loading history, then keeps chats marked in that snapshot or created afterward when merging the history response.
src/frontend/pages/HomePage.tsx: for new chats created with the "quick prompt" option, it marks the new chat threads as created using the markChatAsClientCreated function and passing the chat ID
src/frontend/components/layout/AppLayout.tsx: snapshots initialChatIds and initialClientCreatedIds before fetching history, then updates the reconciliation filter to also keep chats in initialClientCreatedIds or absent from initialChatIds.
src/frontend/components/layout/AppLayout.test.tsx: tests/validates the fix
Testing
Unit tests added/updated
Ran locally (npm run dev)
Manual verification (describe below if applicable)
HomePage marks each new chat ID as client-created before dispatching the chat. AppLayout reads chat state from the Redux store and retains chats created while startup history loads. It limits message prefetching to empty chats present in backend history that are not client-created. StreamingManager unmarks a thread after a streaming error. Tests cover chat creation, history reconciliation, and streaming failure or cancellation.

Change: Bug fix
Merge Risk: Low · up to 4ad02
Startup chats are now retained during history loading. One edge case remains: if a first message fails after the user assigned the chat to a project, a retry may leave the chat outside that project. This is narrow and recoverable, so the change is mergeable with awareness of it.

Explanation
Issue #346 requires preserving chats created before history loading finishes. AppLayout snapshots initial IDs and client-created IDs, then retains chats created during loading or present in the initial client-created snapshot. HomePage marks quick-prompt chats. Existing sidebar creation already marks chats. Regression tests cover quick prompts, typed prompts, sidebar creation, connecting chats, and removal of stale local chats.

- Line 39: Update the startup hydration flow associated with
markChatAsClientCreated(newChatId) so an older history response cannot remove a
chat created by a successful quick-prompt stream; preserve the chat until
hydration confirms it is represented, and only then clear its client-created
marker.

This is because the chat thread gets overwritten by the loaded history. This PR fixes the bug by preserving chats created while history is loading, along with chats still connecting when loading begins, so an older history response cannot remove them. It snapshots the existing chat IDs and client-created markers before loading history, then keeps chats marked in that snapshot or created afterward when merging the history response.
