Subject: [PATCH] fix(native-chat): a not-sent message takes no rail tick,
 matching the outline

Design D6: a not-sent message is no prompt the agent saw and the host's outline
leaves it out, so the loaded rail does too (the rail skip and the active-tick
walk-back already on this branch); the parity test pins that again.
