feat(chat): per-turn stopwatch on assistant bubbles (Phase 2.2)

Wall-clock duration of each agent turn renders as a compact pill in
the message metadata footer (Mac) / below the bubble (iOS). Mirrors
the per-turn stopwatch Hermes v2026.4.23's TUI rewrite ships.

ScarfCore RichChatViewModel:
- currentTurnStart: Date? captured in addUserMessage when entering a
  fresh turn (skipped for /steer-style mid-run sends so the duration
  reflects the FULL turn).
- turnDurations: [Int: TimeInterval] keyed by finalised assistant
  message id; populated in finalizeStreamingMessage and cleared on
  reset().
- formatTurnDuration(_:) static — "0.8s" / "4.2s" / "1m 12s".

Mac:
- RichMessageBubble gains turnDuration: TimeInterval?; renders via
  formatTurnDuration in the existing metadata footer.
- RichChatMessageList + MessageGroupView thread the durations dict
  through; RichChatView wires richChat.turnDurations.

iOS:
- MessageBubble gains turnDuration parameter; renders below the
  bubble for assistant messages only.
- ChatView's ForEach passes controller.vm.turnDuration(forMessageId:).

Verified: Mac + iOS builds clean. Resumed sessions (loaded from
state.db) show no pill — turnDurations only populates for live ACP
turns, which is the correct behaviour.
