Eric Traut 0dc503ba6e Surface parent thread status in side conversations (#18591 )

## Summary

Side conversations can hide important state changes from the parent
conversation while the user is focused on the side thread. In
particular, the parent may finish, fail, need user input, or require an
approval while the side conversation remains visible. Users need a
lightweight signal for those states, but parent approval overlays should
not interrupt the side conversation itself.

This change adds parent-conversation status to the side conversation
context label and defers parent interactive overlays while side mode is
active. When the user exits side mode, pending parent approvals and
input requests are restored in the main thread. The pending approval
footer avoids duplicating the same parent approval status, and replayed
notice cells are filtered when restoring a pending interactive request
so tips or warnings do not crowd out the approval prompt.

The change is contained to the TUI side-conversation and thread replay
paths.
