Subject: [PATCH] fix(desktop): clear the transcript on every cold resume so
 sessions can't share one
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

resumeSession hand-rolls $messages (it paints before a runtime id is bound), and
only cleared the old transcript on the cold path at entry. But a warm-cache hit
can bail down to the full resume — an empty-transcript drop, or the cache being
purged during the profile-swap await — without ever clearing, so the previous
session's array leaked into the next one. Symptom: switching sessions kept
showing the same messages (deterministic once tiling pre-warms the cache on
boot). Clear $messages at the single point every cold/bail path converges, so
carryover is structurally impossible; the warm fast-path still repaints in place.
