A worker asks for another bot's help with ask_crew. The coordinator
reads the request, asks the right bot (in a workspace, only its
members), and sends the answer back into the asking bot's
conversation, waking it. Each exchange is kept as a read-only
chatroom: listed in the main rail after the workspaces, or in the
workspace's rail for requests made there, with live status rows for
each bot while it's open and a Stop button.
Room sessions are hidden from every conversation list, other bots'
words reach the model fenced as data, and turns, nesting and open
rooms are capped. Closed rooms are pruned after a retention period
and past a cap per place (Settings > General).

- Bots get continue_in_new_session: the bot writes a title and summary,
the session closes for good (read-only) and the new one opens with the
summary as a "Carried over from the last session" message that links
back to the old session.
- Continue in new session (conversation menu, sessions modal) and the
automatic rollover at the session length do the same; New session now
starts a fresh, unlinked session.
- Session length is an app setting in Settings > General.
- ?session_id= opens a session; a carried-over one shows a bar linking to
where the conversation went on instead of the composer.
- The thread can open the previous session above the current one (shown
only, never in the prompt), and replies get search_past_sessions and
read_past_session.
- Sessions are named from their opening messages, not their latest, and
a carried summary is labelled as the earlier session's.

The conversation pages rendered their messages on the server, so a page
the back button restored from the back-forward cache showed an old
thread. The server now renders everything else (rail, header, composer)
and the history (active session, latest messages, active task) loads
from api/admin/bots/conversation-history once the page is on screen,
with a loading line under the header, and again on a pageshow restore.
Messages sent or pushed while it loads are merged with it.
