Part of making workspace chat live over Neon Realtime. Stacked on #3916. One change: the host follows a workspace's chat and streams it to the panels that draw it.

What changes

Act port

• New codingAgents.chatFollow procedure that returns a stream (oRPC eventIterator), following feat(host): a window follows an agent's transcript as a stream of pushed pages #4175's transcript pattern.
• A panel follows a chat by keeping that stream open:
  • the host starts following the chat when the first stream opens
  • every change goes to every open stream of that chat
  • the host stops following when the last stream closes
• A window and a web tab use the same procedure, so the web tab needs no code of its own. The chat isn't app state, so it isn't pushed through push.stream.

Host

• chat-follow.ts:
  • joins the chat once (feat(service): a person joins a workspace's chat once, and a read writes nothing #3906)
  • seals live.workspaceChat for the account the follow started for (?userId=)
  • follows its parts with liveRows: over Realtime where LUKE_REALTIME=on, and otherwise by the held poll (feat(service,host): hold a live read's poll until its rows move #4272), which answers once the rows move
  • tells each change whole as chat.changed, and never sends a sealed statement
• Failures:
  • a join or seal that goes unanswered is reported as unanswered and retried after 5 s
  • a chat that isn't found is reported as such, and the follow ends
  • signed out ends the follow
  • signing out lets every follow go
• New gateway methods codingAgents.chatFollow and codingAgents.chatUnfollow, and a new chat.changed event.

Nothing in the window moves onto this yet. That's #3928.

Tests

• compose-coding-agents.test.ts:
  • joins, then seals for the signed-in account, then subscribes every part
  • each change goes out whole, in the held read's order, with no sealed statement
  • unanswered is reported and retried, not found ends the follow
  • unfollow, sign-out, and the closed gate end it too
• agent-inbox-procedures.test.ts:
  • two panel streams share one follow, and each hears only its own chat
  • the follow is let go when the last stream closes
  • the voice window is refused
• New goldens for codingAgentChatFollowParamsSchema and codingAgentChatChangedSchema.
• Checks run one at a time on the stack's top: tsc for each touched package, biome, oxlint, knip, discarded-effect, the repository checks, and the affected vitest suites.
