Each CLI invocation is a fresh subprocess — --resume depends on session
persistence that doesn't reliably work with -p mode. Switch to prompt-
embedded history: prior exchanges are formatted into each request using
formatMessageWithHistory + trimHistory (already existed as dead code).
- Remove sessionIdRef and --resume session tracking
- Always send system prompt (each request is stateless)
- Split sendMessage into doSend(text, history) to handle retry correctly
- Retry now passes correct history (excludes the retried exchange)
- Tests verify history accumulation, clear, retry, and system prompt

The previous approach embedded conversation history as formatted text
in the prompt (<conversation_history> tags). The claude CLI's -p flag
treats this as a single user turn, losing turn boundaries — so the
model had no real multi-turn context.
Switch to using --resume with the session_id returned by the CLI's
init event. This lets the CLI manage conversation state natively:
- First message starts a new session (with system prompt)
- Subsequent messages resume via --resume (no system prompt needed)
- Clear and retry reset the session_id for a fresh start
Extract makeStreamCallbacks() to keep useAIChat complexity below
CodeScene threshold.

The AI chat was using both --resume (CLI session resumption) AND formatted
conversation history in the prompt simultaneously. This dual-context approach
confused the model — it saw the conversation twice (from session + from prompt
markup), leading to "I don't have context" responses on follow-ups.
Fix: remove --resume entirely from chat mode. Each CLI call is now independent,
with full conversation history formatted into the prompt via
<conversation_history> markup. trimHistory handles graceful truncation.

- Add trimHistory() to keep most recent messages within 100k token budget
- Add formatMessageWithHistory() to prepend conversation context to each message
- Wire up in useAIChat.ts: sendMessage now includes full history
- Keep --resume as belt-and-suspenders for same-session continuity
- 14 new tests in ai-chat.test.ts and useAIChat.test.ts
