ferponse 472844e691 fix: keep the opening chat text out of the URL
A long first message in ?prompt= exceeds Node's header limit. The chat GET returns 431 and Electron commits an empty window. Stash the text in sessionStorage and open /chat/<id>.

/**
* The opening message rides beside the navigation, never in the URL.
*
* Home and the new-session draft used to push `/chat/<id>?prompt=<text>`.
* Node's default max HTTP header size is 16KB. A long paste (a syllabus)
* makes that GET return 431, and Electron commits an empty document: the
* window stays the native background and looks frozen. The chat record
* already exists, with an empty transcript, because POST /api/chats
* succeeded first.
*
* sessionStorage holds the trimmed text under `lh.openingPrompt.<id>`.
* The push target stays `/chat/<id>`. The chat page still honors a
* `?prompt=` search param for an old link; when that param is absent it
* reads this stash and sends it once. The stash survives until that send
* resolves, so a reload before the POST lands can retry. Absent storage
* (node tests, a thrown access) is a no-op — the short path still returns.
