refactor(chat): no thread_id — chat has no threads
Nothing ever set it (the page and the CLI sent null) and nothing read it (the node's get_thread had no caller). It is no longer sent by the page or the CLI, in clear or in the sealed payload, nor relayed or served by the node; get_thread and its index are gone, and the protocol and design docs no longer name it. The node still accepts a chat_msg carrying one, from the desktop apps and CLIs already installed, and drops it. The column stays, empty, in chat.db: a node downgraded to an older version names it in every query. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
