attribute sidechain prose/thinking to the agent, not claude (T-265); close T-267

Browse Source 
A sub-agent's prose rendered as "claude" and its thinking as "thinking",
identical to the main assistant, because the label logic ignored
isSidechain — presenting sub-agent output as if the main Claude said it.
Now a sidechain AssistantTextMessage is labelled "agent" with a muted
stripe (never the coral claudeAccent brand), and sidechain thinking is
"agent thinking". Main-thread items are unchanged.

Tests: sidechain prose/thinking relabel, main-thread unchanged; golden
contrasting the muted agent stripe with the coral claude stripe.

This completes epic T-267 (conversation rendering streamlining): fold
success result (T-262), fold agent prompt (T-263), nest the agent run
(T-264), the shared holder primitive (T-266), and this attribution fix.

Three recurring moves bind these tickets: (1) FOLD a redundant standalone item into its owning card (success result → tool card; agent prompt → agent card); (2) fix MISLEADING ATTRIBUTION (sub-agent prompt shown as "you"; sub-agent prose shown as "claude"); (3) settle the CONTAINER / interaction model (holder card that contains sub-cards, nested agent run, autoscroll-vs-reach-the-control).
Common substrate across the children: the flat ConversationItem list and its renderers in lib/builtin/claude/src/conversation_view.dart, the pure grouping pass in activity_cluster.dart, the ConversationCard template in conversation_card.dart, and the so-far-unused ConversationItem.isSidechain / parentUuid transcript fields (transcript_reader.dart).
Children: T-262 (merge tool-call + success result into one card with header status check), T-263 (fold sub-agent prompt into the Agent card; relabel you → agent prompt), T-264 (nest the whole sub-agent run under its Agent card via parentUuid), T-265 (relabel sidechain assistant prose/thinking — agent, not claude), T-266 (restyle activity/holder card as a container of sub-cards + fix the collapse-control scroll race). Sequencing: T-262/T-263 first, T-264/T-265 build the sidechain story, T-266 settles the shared container model last.

SEQUENCING UPDATE (after T-266 refinement): the shared container/holder primitive now lives in T-266 and is CONSUMED by T-264 (nested agent run), so T-266 is no longer "last" — its primitive lands before/with T-264. T-264 is now blocked by T-266. Revised order: T-262 / T-263 (fold success result, fold agent prompt) → T-266 (shared holder/container primitive + activity-card restyle) → T-264 (nest the whole agent run on that primitive) → T-265 (relabel sidechain prose) can land anytime alongside.', 'done', 'medium', NULL, NULL, 'D-78', '2026-06-07 08:42:53', '2026-06-08 10:09:21', NULL, 'bb82ba1e08ca8009613521e59e548e77', 1) ON CONFLICT(id) DO UPDATE SET type=excluded.type, parent_id=excluded.parent_id, title=excluded.title, description=excluded.description, status=excluded.status, priority=excluded.priority, assigned_to=excluded.assigned_to, team=excluded.team, decision_ref=excluded.decision_ref, updated_at=excluded.updated_at, deleted_at=excluded.deleted_at, hash=excluded.hash, canonical_version=excluded.canonical_version WHERE excluded.updated_at > tickets.updated_at OR (excluded.updated_at = tickets.updated_at AND excluded.hash > tickets.hash);
