Subject: [PATCH] fix(dashboard): sort chat session switcher by most-recent
 activity (#49104)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Chat-tab session switcher rendered rows in the API's default
order="created" (original start time) while each row displays
last_active — so a session you just messaged in could sit below an
older one, and the list looked unsorted against its own timestamps.

Pass order="recent" from ChatSessionList so the switcher sorts by
latest activity across the compression chain (most-recently-used at
top, ChatGPT-style; long conversations that auto-compressed into a new
continuation id stay on the first page). Adds an optional, defaulted
`order` arg to api.getSessions; the paginated Sessions page keeps the
stable created order.
