Brennan Benson c64e1f615a Preserve queued command and card order through recovery (#36430)
* Advertise mid-turn queueing as queued-messages.v2

Released clients read the v1 name with an unfinished queue UI; they never
see v2 and keep sending immediately.

* Let each desktop send choose queue or steer while the agent works

The follow-up choice is now a Queue / Steer setting saved under
nativeChatFollowUpBehavior, Steer by default; the old
nativeChatQueueFollowUps switch, which every install saved as true
while queueing was dark, is retired on load. Every reader goes through
native-chat-follow-up-behavior.

While the agent works, Enter follows the setting and Cmd/Ctrl+Enter
sends the draft the other way; the alternate flips the setting before
the queue's own rules (a waiting command still queues, prompts no one
here can answer still send now) and never applies while Stopping.
Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Enter steers the head card only and leaves the draft.
An idle agent's card reads Send, and the card menu no longer offers
"Turn off queueing".

* Hold Send on the phone to queue or steer a message mid-turn

While the agent works on a host that queues, holding Send opens a
Queue / Steer sheet; a choice other than the host's setting sends the
alternate, resolved against the chat as it is when it lands, by the
desktop's rule. Release and dismiss send nothing. The phone reads the
host's new follow-up setting (absent reads as Steer), and an idle
agent's card reads Send.

* Read the follow-up default from one place on desktop and phone

* Keep phone follow-up choices aligned with live host state

* Update stream and wire fixtures for live follow-up preferences

* Document minimal runtime test fixture assertions

* Keep mobile preference tests in the mobile compiler project

* Preserve queued input order through handover and recovery

* Consolidate input selection type imports

* Keep queue request capability types in the shared compiler graph

* Preserve reopen admission context and bound queue projection work

* feat(native-chat): queue follow-ups by default with a toggle

* fix(tests): preserve projection contracts in the node compiler

* fix(native-chat): retain receipt lookup after journal replacement

* test(mobile): assert shared preference renders on real changes

* Remove obsolete follow-up option translations

* Preserve input places across journal recovery without predecessor snapshots

* Keep recovered card placement tied to the exact handoff

* Preserve replay source types and correct verification fixtures

* Complete indexed queue selection and recovery ordering

* Preserve queued input order across recovery and source replay

* Fix legacy queue recovery fixture types

* Use a specific name for queue pause inputs

* Preserve fallback queue identity across journal recovery

* Place nested storage negative directive on its constrained call

* Constrain journal draft property type parameter

* Remove journal input order import cycle

* Preserve lazy journal counter reads within line limit

* test: preserve legacy conversion and display work contracts

* test: align journal refusal and restore accounting contracts
