Assistant: hydrate the persisted thread in the UI

- Asistente.tsx pins threadId "main" on CopilotChat (an explicit stable
  id stops the per-mount message wipe), runs a hydration pass on page
  load — an empty-messages run makes MAF replay the stored snapshot as
  MESSAGES_SNAPSHOT with no LLM call — and sends the Inicio ask-box
  question only after hydration so every normal run carries the full
  client-known history. "Nueva conversación" clears the stored thread
  behind a ConfirmDialog.
- server.ts: the BFF no longer injects context into empty-messages
  requests (that would defeat MAF's hydration trigger), and the snapshot
  reconciliation passes hydration replays through untouched and treats
  ids the client already sent as history rather than duplicates.
