fold sub-agent prompts via parent_tool_use_id (T-338)

Browse Source 
In live stream-json sessions a sub-agent's spawning prompt is tagged
with parent_tool_use_id, not the transcript JSONL's isSidechain +
parentUuid. The parser ignored that field, so the prompt parsed as a
main-thread user turn and rendered as a blue "you" card above the
Activity Agent card instead of folding into it.

Carry parent_tool_use_id onto ConversationItem; its presence now marks
the item as a sidechain message. The sidechain fold resolves ownership
directly by tool-use id (no transcript-only uuid chain to walk), so the
prompt folds into its Agent card and the run nests under it as before.

Repro: launch any sub-agent from the Claude pane; the task prompt appears as a ''you'' turn.
Root cause: the sidechain fold keys entirely off the transcript envelope. In transcript_reader.dart the prompt''s UserMessage carries isSidechain/parentUuid straight from envelope[''isSidechain''] and envelope[''parentUuid''] (transcript_reader.dart:558-560, parsed in _parseUserInto at :593-643). conversation_view.dart _sidechainFold() (:179-233) only claims an item when it.isSidechain is true AND resolveOwner() walks its parentUuid chain up to the Agent tool_use message (or the nearest preceding Agent as fallback). If the spawning prompt''s envelope arrives WITHOUT isSidechain==true (or without a parentUuid that roots at the Agent), the item is never added to ownedSidechainUuids, _visibleItems() (:116-160) never drops it, and _ConversationTurn.build() falls through past the ''when i.injected || i.isSidechain'' guard into the default UserMessage() case => label: ''you'' (the blue user card).
Need to confirm whether the prompt envelope is missing isSidechain (likely — the spawning prompt is the FIRST user turn of the sidechain and may be emitted by the harness without the flag, or with a parentUuid that points at the spawning turn rather than the Agent tool_use). Check stream_json_session.dart emission too.
Fix direction (TBD after confirming the envelope shape): either (a) ensure the prompt envelope is correctly flagged/parented, or (b) in _sidechainFold associate the first sidechain-adjacent user prompt with its Agent tool_use even when the flag/chain is incomplete.
