Home screen: make the past-conversation list usable, and let search find past sessions.

• #260: "Resume Conversation" showed 4 rows and then dumped every remaining one into a fixed 240px box, with no ordering or filtering. The list now opens with 10 rows, "Show more"/"Show less" grows and shrinks the box itself (the height cap is class-driven instead of fixed), and the header carries a filter box (matches name, folder, #case label and the conversation's prompts), a sort control (recent / name A–Z / folder A–Z, pinned rows still first) and a shown-of-total count. Filtering implies expansion, so every match is visible.
• #261: the search box could not match a past project by folder name: its session corpus was the live in-memory map, while past sessions come from /api/sessions/unified. Search now also harvests a bounded snapshot of that unified list, refreshed OUTSIDE the request path (published by /api/sessions/unified, plus a fire-and-forget rebuild when stale), so the search path keeps its no-filesystem-reads property. Results for a closed session resume the conversation instead of trying to select a tab that no longer exists, and are badged RESUME. In multi-user mode the snapshot is re-scoped per row on read, matching what /api/sessions/unified exposes.
