Redesign chat transcript + fix streaming/persistence lifecycle — v0.50.70

Squash-merges PR #587 by @aronprins (Aron Prins). Full credit to @aronprins for all feature and fix work.

Transcript redesign: unified --msg-rail/--msg-max CSS variables, user turns as tinted cards, thinking cards as bordered panels, error card treatment, day-change separators, composer fade.

Approval/clarify as composer flyouts: cards slide up from behind composer top, overflow:hidden + translateY clip prevents travel visibility, focus({preventScroll:true}).

Streaming lifecycle: DOM order user→thinking→tool cards→response, no mid-stream jump. Live tool cards inserted before [data-live-assistant].

Persistence: reasoning attached before s.save(), _restore_reasoning_metadata on reload, role=tool rows preserved in S.messages, CLI-session tool-result fallback.

Workspace panel FOUC fix: [data-workspace-panel] set at parse time.

Docs: docs/ui-ux/index.html + two-stage-proposal.html.

Maintainer additions (433b867): CHANGELOG v0.50.70, version badge, usage badge loop simplification.

Reviewed and approved by @nesquena (independent review). 1361 tests passing.

The previous `Assistant Reply Language` customization has been removed, legacy `assistant_language` settings are filtered out on load/save, the workspace panel closed/open state is preloaded via a `documentElement` dataset marker before `style.css` paints to avoid a first-load desktop flash, transcript disclosure cards now animate caret rotation and body expansion with transitionable `max-height`/`opacity` states instead of `display:none/block`, and thinking cards now share the same rounded bordered card chrome as tool cards while keeping their gold palette.

@@ -23,6 +23,11 @@ and a demand-driven right panel used for workspace browsing and preview surfaces
The right panel is closed by default on desktop and opens only when it is actively
being used for browsing or previewing content.
To prevent a visible first-paint mismatch on refresh, `static/index.html` preloads the
saved workspace panel state into `document.documentElement.dataset.workspacePanel`
before the main stylesheet loads. Desktop CSS honors that preload marker immediately,
and `static/boot.js` keeps the dataset synchronized with the runtime panel state machine.
The design philosophy is deliberately minimal. There is no build step, no bundler, no
frontend framework. The Python server is split into a routing shell (server.py) and
business logic modules (api/). The frontend is seven vanilla JS modules loaded from static/.
