Ryan Chen d52c934b9a Add structured timing log to stream_query for slow-request diagnosis
Every SSE request emits a JSON summary line to the logger on completion,
cancellation, or error:

  {"event":"stream_request","conv":"...","user":"ryan",
   "total_ms":45210,"thinking_ms":38100,"ttft_ms":38200,
   "tokens":112,"tools":[{"tool":"web_search","ms":820}],
   "model":"llama","cancelled":false}

Fields:
- total_ms    end-to-end wall time
- thinking_ms time from first LLM call to first content token (reasoning)
- ttft_ms     time to first content token from request start
- tokens      approximate content token count (stream deltas)
- tools       each tool invoked with wall-clock duration
- model       LLM name from LangChain metadata (catches fallback to OpenAI)
- cancelled   true when client disconnected mid-stream

Tool timers use the LangChain run_id to correctly pair start/end even
when the same tool is called multiple times in one turn.

Ryan Chen d28dfb9435 Don't cancel stream on navigation away
Aborting the fetch on component unmount sent a disconnect to the server,
which cancelled the in-flight generation. Now the stream runs to
completion in the background (isMountedRef guards prevent stale state
updates), the response is persisted, and it's there when the user
returns to the conversation. stopGeneration() still aborts immediately
on explicit user cancel.

Ryan Chen b530974438 Show a thinking indicator while the model reasons
qwen3.8-27b is a reasoning model: it can think for hundreds of tokens
before any visible content streams. The SSE stream only forwarded
content deltas, so the UI showed dead air for the whole think and long
answers looked hung (users cancel ~1 min in).

The stream now emits a throttled {"type": "thinking"} heartbeat while
the current model turn has produced no content yet, and the frontend
renders a pulsing "Thinking..." pill until content or a tool call
arrives. The heartbeat also keeps bytes flowing on the SSE connection
during long thinks, so idle-timeout disconnects in the proxy chain
can't kill the stream.

Ryan Chen 395c97958f Fix history roles and persist tool results for cross-turn context
Two fixes for the agent losing track of conversation context:

- History replay compared msg.speaker (a Speaker enum) to the string
  "user", which is always false, so every prior message — including the
  user's — was sent to the LLM with role "assistant". Compare against
  Speaker.USER instead. Affected web, iMessage, WhatsApp, and email.

- Tool outputs (web searches, RAG chunks) were discarded after each
  turn, so follow-up questions about fetched content had nothing to
  reference. Persist them as speaker="tool" messages (capped at 4000
  chars) and replay them in history as assistant context. The
  conversation GET endpoint serves only their header line so the UI
  tool pill stays compact.

Also bumps the replayed history window from 10 to 20 messages since
tool messages now share it.

Ryan Chen 0389ec45c8 Pass images directly to the agent as multimodal content
Image messages previously ran two sequential LLM generations: a full
non-streamed vision call to describe the image, then a second agent call
with the description pasted in as text. The agent's llama-server model is
already vision-capable, so attach the image to the user message as an
OpenAI-style image_url content part and let the single agent call see it.
Roughly halves image-turn latency and streams from the start.
