FN-7441: add sidebar rename controls for chat conversations

Add an explicit sidebar rename affordance for direct Chat conversations while preserving existing rename paths.

- Add edit buttons beside delete controls on direct chat session rows and wire them to the existing rename dialog.
- Keep sidebar action spacing and accessibility labels stable across desktop and mobile layouts.
- Cover sidebar, context-menu, and mobile switcher rename behavior with ChatView tests.
- Document the sidebar rename entry point and add the published package changeset.

 - Chat message lists now track near-bottom scroll state: while you are reading older messages, live streaming/new replies do not force-scroll; a **Latest** jump control appears until you return to the tail.
 - On mobile direct-chat threads, entering a thread and restoring Chat after tab/page visibility returns re-anchors to the newest message (`scrollTop = scrollHeight`) so the view always opens at the live tail.
 - On mobile direct-chat threads, tapping the active title/identity in the thread header opens a lightweight conversation dropdown so you can switch to another direct session or start a New Chat without backing out to the sidebar list first; long conversation titles now stay readable in the dropdown via wrapped option text and taller touch-friendly rows.
-- Direct chat sessions can be renamed from the desktop conversation context menu and from the mobile session switcher; blank rename submissions clear the custom title so the default session label is shown again.
+- Direct chat sessions can be renamed from the sidebar row edit button, the desktop conversation context menu, and the mobile session switcher; blank rename submissions clear the custom title so the default session label is shown again.
 <!-- FNXC:ChatViewDocs 2026-07-01-00:00: Task-detail planner chats are intentionally hidden from the common Direct feed by default after issue #1850; Settings keeps an opt-in for operators who want populated task-planner sessions restored without adding a mandatory Tasks tab. -->
 <!-- FNXC:TaskDetailPlannerChat 2026-07-01-22:02: Done-task planner Chat remains available for retrospective Q&A and can create a task-scoped refinement through the planner tool, while common Chat feed visibility remains opt-in. -->
 - Task-detail planner Chat conversations stay available from each task's **Chat** tab, including after the task is `done`. They are hidden from the common Direct/common Chat feed by default; enable **Settings → Project General → Show task chats in common Chat feed** to include populated task chats again. Empty task chat sessions stay hidden either way. Planner Chat can answer token-count, estimated-cost, runtime, timing-event, workflow-step duration, and per-model usage questions for the current task through a read-only task-scoped metrics tool; unknown/stale pricing is reported as uncertain instead of `$0`. On completed tasks, clear follow-up implementation or improvement requests can create a normal refinement task from the completed source task.
