The TUI supports long-running turns and agent threads, but quick side questions have required interrupting the main flow or manually forking/navigating threads. This PR adds a guarded `/side` flow so users can ask brief side-conversation questions in an ephemeral fork while keeping the primary thread focused. This also helps address the feature request in #18125. The implementation creates one side conversation at a time, lets `/side` open either an empty side thread or immediately submit `/side <question>`, and returns to the parent with Esc or Ctrl+C. Side conversations get hidden developer guardrails that treat inherited history as reference-only and steer the model away from workspace mutations unless explicitly requested in the side conversation. The TUI hides most slash commands while side mode is active, leaving only `/copy`, `/diff`, `/mention`, and `/status` available there.
