fix(desktop): keep in-flight new chats from vanishing on refresh

Creating several sessions in a row (Ctrl-N, type, send, repeat) and
waiting for one to finish made the other still-running chats disappear
from the sidebar.

Root cause: a new session's first user message isn't flushed to the
SessionDB until its turn is persisted, so the row's message_count stays
0 mid-response. `refreshSessions()` lists with min_messages=1 and then
hard-replaces $sessions. Because every message.complete triggers a
refresh, the moment one session finished, the others (still at
message_count 0) were filtered out of the server page and dropped from
the list.

Fix: merge instead of replace. `mergeWorkingSessions()` preserves any
session that is still in $workingSessionIds but absent from the server
page, so concurrent new chats stay visible until their own turn persists.
Optimistic deletes/archives already remove the row from the previous
list, so a removed session can't be resurrected by the merge.
