fix(pi-claude-cli,droid-cli,dashboard): stop ballooning resumed CLI sessions and thread per-chat session

In a multi-iteration tool loop, buildResumePrompt anchored on the last user
message and walked forward through preceding tool results. The only user
message stays at index 0, so each iteration re-sent the entire transcript over
stdin to the resumed CLI session, duplicating the original query plus a
growing stack of tool results into the on-disk session every turn. The agent
saw its own context bloating and called it "compaction." Anchor on the last
assistant message and slice forward instead — the genuine delta since the
last turn already on disk. Same bug+fix in droid-cli (copy of pi-claude-cli).

Quick chat also created a fresh pi/Claude CLI session per user message and
faked continuity by stuffing the last 50 chat_messages into the prompt as
"## Previous Conversation". Replace that with real session continuity:
chat_sessions gains a cliSessionFile column (migration 56); ChatManager
opens the existing pi SessionManager file when present and creates a fresh
one (persisting its path) on the first turn. The prompt now carries only
the new user content.

* Build a prompt for a resumed session.
*
* When resuming via --resume, the CLI already has the full conversation history.
* We only need to send the new content since the last turn: the last assistant
* response's tool results (if any) followed by the latest user message.
* When resuming via --resume, the CLI already has the full conversation history
* up through (and including) the most recent assistant turn that it produced.
* We only need to send the *delta* since that turn: any trailing tool results
* for the last assistant tool_use, and/or a new user message.
*
* For tool_use flows: pi sends [user, assistant(toolCall), toolResult, ...]
* We need to include tool results so the resumed session sees them, plus the
* final user message.
* Why anchor on the last assistant message (not the last user message)?
* Pi's tool-use loop appends `[user, assistant(toolUse), toolResult,
* assistant(toolUse), toolResult, ...]` — the only `user` entry stays at index
* 0 across many provider invocations. Anchoring on the last user message and
* walking forward (the prior implementation) re-sent the entire transcript on
* every tool-loop iteration, so each --resume turn appended a duplicate of the
* original query plus a growing stack of tool results to the on-disk session.
*
* Falls back to full prompt if the message structure is unexpected.
* Returns "" when there's nothing new to send (e.g. only an assistant message
* exists in the context — can happen mid-shutdown).
