Part of making workspace chat live over Neon Realtime. Stacked on #3923. One change: the host waits for a chat write's txid before it answers, as Neon's mutations guide does.

What changes

• Wait before answering. When the service answers a write's txid (feat(service,database): chat writes answer the transaction they committed in #4251) and the window follows that workspace's chat over Realtime, codingAgents.chatPost waits up to 10 s before answering. It waits on the TxWait that P5's liveRows hands out through onTxWait.
• The chat pushed already holds the write. By the time the window hears the answer, the chat pushed to it includes the write. That's what lets feat(panel): Chat follows the workspace's chat on the central live layer, and its read loop and cursor are gone #3928 drop the window's overlay of channels written while a read was out.
• No wait when there's nothing to wait for:
  • a write that changed nothing (no txid)
  • a chat no window follows
  • a chat that's being polled
• On timeout the write is answered anyway, since it committed.

Tests

• New compose-coding-agents.test.ts case:
  • a read-to answering a txid waits until that transaction arrives on the followed read
  • a no-op write answers at once
  • a write to a workspace that isn't followed answers at once
• Checks were 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.

Closing for now: the developer moved every area onto the central live layer with Neon Realtime off (LUKE_REALTIME, #4267; held polls, #4272), and this change only does something with Realtime on. The branch is kept, so the PR can be reopened and rebased when LUKE_REALTIME goes back on.
