fix(desktop): keep pinned + recent sessions visible across compression

Long-running sessions auto-compress: the gateway ends the original session
and surfaces the live continuation under a new id (list_sessions_rich projects
the root forward to its tip). Two symptoms fell out of the id rotation:

- A pinned session "vanished" — the pin is stored as the pre-compression root
  id, but the sidebar only matched on the live id, so it was filtered out.
  Pins now resolve on the durable lineage-root id (`_lineage_root_id`, already
  surfaced by the projection): the sidebar indexes sessions by both ids, pin/
  unpin and reorder operate on the durable id, and `sessionPinId()` is shared
  with the Cmd+P toggle. Existing pins keep working with no migration.

- A freshly-continued session was missing from the list until you ungrouped +
  "load 50 more" — the list paginated by original start time, so an old-but-
  active conversation sat past the first page. The desktop now requests
  `order=recent` (GET /api/sessions gains an `order` param backed by the
  existing recency CTE), surfacing live continuations on the first page.
