test(dashboard): add regression tests for quick chat init fixes

Six new tests covering the three bugs fixed in the previous commit:

- Retry limit: stops showing toasts after 3 consecutive failures,
  resets counter on success
- Skip flag: startFreshSession sets/clears skipNextSessionInitRef,
  creates new session even when existing one exists
- Ref stability: switchSession reads activeSession from ref so it
  correctly detects "same session" and skips re-initialization
