webtecnica 25d39da00e fix(stream): preserve reader viewport anchor through live-to-settlement collapse
Issue #6385: when a streaming turn settles, the two-render sequence
(keep-open expanded worklog → collapsed worklog) could displace the
reader's viewport because the second render captured its scroll snapshot
from the intermediate expanded state, not from the original live DOM.

Root cause
----------
The STREAM_DONE handler in messages.js:

1. Arms keep-settled-worklog-open token → renderMessages({preserveScroll:true})
   → worklog rendered EXPANDED (height-stable swap preventing shrink jump)

2. Disarms token → _renderMessagesWithScrollSnapshot()
   → This function called _captureMessageScrollSnapshot() which captured
     the scroll anchor from the expanded-worklog DOM (step 1 output),
     then called renderMessages with the worklog COLLAPSED (keep-open gone),
     then tried to restore from the expanded-state snapshot.

   The snapshot's semantic anchor (row key, session idx, top offset) was
   captured from a DOM where the worklog was expanded. After the collapse
   render the worklog is no longer at that position — anchor keys don't
   match, the semantic restore fails, and the viewport jumps to a
   unrelated scrollTop.

Fix
---
- Capture the scroll snapshot from the LIVE DOM (before any settlement
  renders) and pass it as  to the second render.
- Modify _renderMessagesWithScrollSnapshot() to accept a pre-captured
  snapshot via options._prescrollSnapshot, using it instead of capturing
  a fresh one from the current DOM state.

This ensures the collapse render anchors to the content the reader was
actually viewing, not to a stale intermediate expanded-worklog position.
