Defer persistence of rollout file (#11028)

- Defer rollout persistence for fresh threads (`InitialHistory::New`):
keep rollout events in memory and only materialize rollout file + state
DB row on first `EventMsg::UserMessage`.
- Keep precomputed rollout path available before materialization.
- Change `thread/start` to build thread response from live config
snapshot and optional precomputed path.
- Improve pre-materialization behavior in app-server/TUI: clearer
invalid-request errors for file-backed ops and a friendlier `/fork` “not
ready yet” UX.
- Update tests to match deferred semantics across
start/read/archive/unarchive/fork/resume/review flows.
- Improved resilience of user_shell test, which should be unrelated to
this change but must be affected by timing changes

For Reviewers:
* The primary change is in recorder.rs
* Most of the other changes were to fix up broken assumptions in
existing tests

Testing:
* Manually tested CLI
* Exercised app server paths by manually running IDE Extension with
rebuilt CLI binary
* Only user-visible change is that `/fork` in TUI generates visible
error if used prior to first turn
