ss-dev-00 cd2037e051 feat(desktop): add conversation transcript variant for focus-mode agent sessions
Slice B. A third, purely additive `conversation` transcript variant for the
full-cover reading surface: the human's prompt as a right-aligned bubble, the
agent's reply as unboxed prose at a comfortable measure, reasoning behind a
"Thinking… / Thought for Ns" disclosure, the plan as a live checklist, and
session/status noise receded to quiet dividers.

The transcript previously had two presentations — the dense `default` activity
feed and `compactPreview` — both tuned for a 380px panel. Read at full width
they are a scan surface, not something you read a turn in.

Threaded through `ManagedAgentSessionPanel` and `AgentSessionThreadPanel` as
an optional prop. Tool items deliberately route through the same
`ToolActivity` presenter as `default`, which is what lets the tool-chain card
work in slice C land on top without conflict.

The byte-for-byte guarantee for the existing two variants is enforced by a
captured-markup fixture rather than by inspection: the baseline was produced
by mounting the same transcript on unmodified code, so the test fails on any
drift in `default` or `compactPreview` output.

Three defects found and fixed while building it, each with a
non-vacuous test:

- The author row resolved its name through `resolveUserLabel`'s
  `fallbackName: item.title`, whose value describes the *trigger* that started
  the turn ("@Mention", "Prompt", a title-cased Buzz event kind) and is never
  an identity. Harmless where it only seeded avatar initials; the conversation
  author row promotes it to displayed text, so an unresolved sender rendered
  as if "@Mention" were their name. Identity now stops at the profile —
  display name, NIP-05 handle, truncated pubkey — and the title stays as
  trigger chrome in the footer. The existing test was asserting the bug.
- The captured-markup fixture embeds formatted timestamps, so it was
  zone-sensitive; pinning `TZ` then exposed that it is locale-sensitive too.
  Assigning `process.env.LANG` at runtime does not fix it — node resolves its
  default locale once at startup, unlike `TZ`, which `Date` reads lazily. Both
  formatting surfaces the render path reaches are overridden, including
  `Date.prototype.toLocale*`, which does not route through
  `Intl.DateTimeFormat`. `Intl.DateTimeFormat` must be replaced with a plain
  function, not an arrow: the render path calls it with `new`.
