fix(history): entrypoint detection was first-field-wins, plus a two-tier head read

extractTranscriptEntrypoint returned the FIRST entrypoint-bearing message's
value instead of scanning for any 'cli' occurrence, so a transcript that
started under an older Claude Code build (no entrypoint field) and later
picked up a non-'cli' entrypoint on some later message was wrongly excluded
from history — the opposite of the fail-open behavior the function's own
comment claimed. Now returns 'cli' the moment any scanned message carries it,
and only falls back to a non-cli value when nothing else qualifies. Head/tail
entrypoints are merged the same way (either side being 'cli' wins).

Also restructures scanProjectDir's head read into two tiers: try 16KB first
and escalate to 128KB only when that wasn't enough, instead of reading 128KB
for every file unconditionally. Measured against a real ~/.claude/projects
tree, the unconditional-128KB version roughly quadrupled scan cost to fix a
problem only a minority of files actually have; the two-tier version cuts
bytes read by ~36% and wall time by ~17% while producing identical output.
Also fixes a fallback regression where a failed head read (e.g. EMFILE) on a
file at or under the head buffer size no longer got a shot at the tail-read
fallback, silently dropping the session from history.
