fix(desktop): queue composer drafts during gateway reconnect instead of silently dropping Enter

After initial boot the CONNECTING overlay is intentionally suppressed so a
transient socket drop (a fresh session, sleep/wake, or a post-update reboot)
keeps the composer editable while `disabled = !gatewayOpen`. But the Enter path
returned early on `disabled` with zero feedback — type, hit Enter, nothing
happens, no error, no hint (the "can't send anything, no errors" report).

Route a drafted Enter during reconnect into the existing queue (mirroring the
`busy` branch) and gate the bounded auto-drain on the gateway being open, so the
queued draft waits instead of spinning failed sends and then flushes the instant
the socket reopens. Empty Enter stays a no-op.

-
-# On push to main (or manual trigger), run `npm run fix` on each workspace
-# package and apply any changes via a PR.
-#
-# Fixable lint issues (import sorting, unused imports, curly braces, etc.) are
-# auto-corrected on merge so PRs aren't blocked by them. The PR-time eslint
-# check in typecheck.yml fails only when un-fixable errors remain.
-#
-# NOTE: AUTOFIX_BOT_PAT pushes DO trigger further workflow runs (unlike
-# secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN). The concurrency group (ts-autofix-${{ github.ref }})
-# with cancel-in-progress: true prevents an infinite loop — a re-triggered
-# run cancels the in-flight one, and since the second run finds no new fixes
-# (the first run already applied them), it exits with an empty patch.
-#
-# ── Security model: two-job split ───────────────────────────────────────────
-#
-# The eslint process executes repo code (eslint.config.mjs, package.json
-# scripts, installed plugins). To prevent a malicious PR from getting arbitrary
-# code execution on a runner with push access, the work is split:
-#
-#   1. generate-patch (unprivileged, contents: read only)
-#      Checks out, installs deps, runs eslint --fix, produces a .patch artifact.
-#      Worst case: malicious code runs here on an ephemeral runner with zero
-#      push permissions.
-#
-#   2. apply-patch (privileged, contents: write + pull-requests: write)
-#      Checks out, downloads the patch artifact, applies it, pushes to the
-#      bot/js-autofix branch, creates/updates a PR, and enables auto-merge.
-#      This job never runs npm, never installs anything, never executes any
-#      repo code. The only input it trusts is the patch artifact.
-#      Skipped entirely when generate-patch reports no fixes (has-fixes != true).
-#      The PR auto-merges (squash) once CI passes. If CI fails or main moves,
-#      the PR is auto-closed and the branch deleted — the next run re-applies
-#      on the current state.

-### Where to place what tests
-
-The CI change classifier (`scripts/ci/classify_changes.py`) runs specific jobs based on what files changed. A Python test that asserts
-about the contents of `package.json`, `package-lock.json`, `.ts`/`.tsx`
-source, or any other JS-side artifact will not run on a PR that only touches
-those files. This means a regression can go green on a PR and red on `main` (where the
-classifier fails open and runs everything).
-
-Any test that reads or asserts about `package.json`,
-`package-lock.json`, `tsconfig.json`, `.ts`/`.tsx`/`.js`/`.mjs`/`.cjs`
-source files configuration belongs in the JS (vitest) test suite, not in `tests/*.py`.

-### Never read source code in tests
-
-A test that reads a source file's text is testing *the shape of the
-source code*, not its behavior. This is a hard antipattern, banned outright.
-Any test that reads a .py, .ts, .tsx, etc., file is suspect.

-**Why it's actively harmful, not just weak:**
-
-- It passes when the implementation is subtly broken (the regex matches a
-  call site that exists but is wired wrong) and fails when a correct
-  refactor changes formatting, variable names, or control flow with
-  identical runtime behavior. Both directions of failure are wrong.
-- It can't be run against a built/bundled/minified artifact, so it silently
-  stops testing anything the moment code moves, gets renamed, or a
-  dependency reformats it.
-- It actively blocks refactors: reviewers see "keeps a pattern intact" tests
-  fail during pure structural cleanup with no behavior change, and either
-  hand-wave the failure (dangerous) or waste time updating regexes that add
-  nothing (waste).
-- It gives false confidence. a green suite full of source-regex tests
-  looks like coverage but has never once executed the code path it claims
-  to guard.
-
-**Do not write:**
-
-```ts
-const source = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'main.ts'), 'utf8')
-
-test('backend spawn hides the Windows console', () => {
-  assert.match(source, /spawn\(\s*backend\.command,\s*backend\.args[\s\S]{0,300}hiddenWindowsChildOptions/)
-})
-```
-
-**Do write — extract the logic into a small pure/DI-testable function and
-call it for real:**
-
-```ts
-// backend-spawn.ts
-export function hiddenWindowsChildOptions(options: SpawnOptionsLike = {}, isWindows = process.platform === 'win32') {
-  if (!isWindows || 'windowsHide' in options) return options
-  return { ...options, windowsHide: true }
-}
-
-// backend-spawn.test.ts
-test('windowsHide defaults to true on Windows, is left alone elsewhere', () => {
-  assert.equal(hiddenWindowsChildOptions({}, true).windowsHide, true)
-  assert.equal(hiddenWindowsChildOptions({}, false).windowsHide, undefined)
-  assert.equal(hiddenWindowsChildOptions({ windowsHide: false }, true).windowsHide, false)
-})
-```
-
-If the logic lives inline in a god-file (`main.ts`, `cli.py`,
-`gateway/run.py`) and extracting it feels disruptive: that's the actual
-signal to do the extraction, not to regex around it.

-"""Ambient session-accounting context for auxiliary LLM calls.
-
-Auxiliary calls (vision, compression, title generation, web_extract,
-session_search, ...) funnel through ``agent.auxiliary_client`` which has no
-session handle — so their token usage was historically discarded, leaving
-dashboard analytics blind to aux model spend (issue #23270).
-
-Instead of threading ``session_db``/``session_id`` parameters through every
-aux call site, the agent loop publishes them here (mirroring the Nous Portal
-conversation context in ``agent.portal_tags``) and the auxiliary client
-records usage at its single response-validation chokepoint.
-
-ContextVar semantics give us the right isolation for free:
-
-* concurrent agents in one process (gateway sessions, delegate subagents)
-  never see each other's accounting context;
-* worker threads spawned via ``tools.thread_context.propagate_context_to_thread``
-  (MoA fan-out, background review) inherit the parent turn's context;
-* asyncio tasks inherit the context of the code that created them.
-
-MoA reference/aggregator slots are explicitly EXCLUDED from recording:
-``agent/conversation_loop.py`` already folds MoA advisor usage and cost into
-the main loop's ``update_token_counts`` delta, so recording them here would
-double-count (see ``_EXCLUDED_TASKS``).

-/**
- * Regression: the desktop Electron dependency must be an exact, consistent pin.
- *
- * The Windows desktop install failed at "Building desktop app" because Electron
- * changed its install mechanism mid patch-series:
- *
- *     electron 40.9.3 .. 40.10.2  -> @electron/get@^2 + extract-zip@^2  (pure JS)
- *     electron 40.10.3 / 40.10.4  -> @electron/get@^5 +
- *                                    @electron-internal/extract-zip@^1 (native napi)
- *
- * ``apps/desktop/package.json`` declared ``electronVersion: 40.9.3`` (the tested,
- * JS-extract build) but pinned the dependency loosely as ``electron: ^40.9.3``.
- * ``npm ci`` then resolved 40.10.3/40.10.4 — the new *native* extract-zip whose
- * win32-x64 binding fails to ``dlopen`` on some Windows hosts
- * (``ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED loading index.win32-x64-msvc.node``).
- *
- * These tests lock the contract that prevents that drift, without hard-coding the
- * specific version (which is allowed to move):
- *
- * 1. the Electron dependency is an *exact* version (Electron Builder needs the
- *    installed binary to match ``electronVersion`` / ``electronDist``), and
- * 2. the dependency, ``build.electronVersion``, and the resolved lockfile entry
- *    all agree — so ``npm ci`` installs exactly what the build packages.
