Alan Wizemann 5920923d92 feat: v2.0 — correctness + UX polish on multi-server + remote SSH ...

The multi-window / multi-server / remote-SSH work that landed in
00ca722 (feat: multi-window + remote SSH server support (Phases 0-4))
was feature-complete but accumulated rough edges during dogfooding
against a remote Mac mini. This commit finishes the 2.0 release:
correctness fixes on remote, a chat-view UX overhaul, and a Swift 6
complete-concurrency sweep across the service layer.

Correctness on remote
- Kill the WAL-error spam: snapshotSQLite now runs `PRAGMA
  journal_mode=DELETE` on the remote temp DB before scp, so the
  pulled file is self-contained. Open remote snapshots with
  `file:...?immutable=1` URI as defense-in-depth, and drop the
  pointless `PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL` from HermesDataService.open.
- loadSessionHistory and refreshMessages now force a fresh snapshot
  via refresh(), so resuming a session on a remote shows messages
  persisted since launch (previously stuck on the first snapshot).
- New SnapshotCoordinator actor dedupes concurrent snapshotSQLite
  calls per ServerID — Dashboard + Sessions + Activity no longer
  issue three parallel SSH backups for the same fetch.
- ACP cwd comes from the remote's $HOME (probed once, cached per
  server in UserHomeCache), not the local Mac's NSHomeDirectory().
- Typing into a blank Chat always creates a new session. The old
  auto-resume-most-recent fallback was picking up cron-spawned
  sessions that Hermes had already GC'd, producing silent prompt
  failures.
- handlePromptComplete surfaces non-success stopReasons ("refusal",
  "error", "max_tokens") as a system message so failed prompts no
  longer sit under a forever-spinning "Agent working…".

Chat UX
- Replace six racing onChange-driven scrollTo calls with
  `.defaultScrollAnchor(.bottom)` alone. Manual proxy.scrollTo
  against a LazyVStack that hadn't finished laying out was
  overshooting into whitespace. Layout-pass-integrated anchor
  behaves correctly at stream start and finish.
- Remove ContentUnavailableView swap in RichChatView — it tore down
  the whole ScrollView hierarchy on first message. Empty state now
  lives inside the scroll view.
- continueLastSession surfaces an acpError banner if open() fails,
  instead of silently returning.

Lifecycle hygiene
- ServerRegistry.removeServer closes the server's SSH ControlMaster
  (`ssh -O exit`), prunes its snapshot cache dir, and invalidates
  UserHomeCache for that ID. App launch sweeps orphan snapshot dirs
  whose UUIDs aren't in the registry anymore.
- NSWorkspace.activateFileViewerSelecting (backup-saved-to dialog)
  gated on !context.isRemote; remote surfaces the remote path in the
  saveMessage instead of silently no-op'ing on a nonexistent local
  path.

Swift 6 concurrency — 230 warnings → 1
- Mark ServerContext, HermesPathSet, ServerTransport (protocol),
  LocalTransport, SSHTransport, HermesFileService, and every value-
  type accessor as `nonisolated`. Prevents AppKit-import-driven
  MainActor inference from bleeding onto data-only types.
- Hand-written Codable conformances (vs. synthesized) for
  ACPRequest, ACPRawMessage, ACPError, GatewayState, PlatformState,
  HermesCronJob, CronSchedule, CronJobsFile, AuthFile, AuthEntry.
  Synthesized inits were inferred @MainActor by Swift 6's default-
  isolation rule; hand-written ones are explicitly nonisolated.
- Captured-var refactors in MCPServerEditorViewModel, PluginsView
  Model, LocalTransport.watchPaths. Thread.sleep → Task.sleep in
  TestConnectionProbe.
- Remaining warning is AnyCodable.value mutation in init(from:) —
  Any-typed storage can't be strictly Sendable; acknowledged via
  @unchecked Sendable.

ACP adapter upstream bug (not fixed here, but handled)
- Hermes's ACP adapter returns JSON-RPC success `{"result":{}}` for
  session/load on a missing session, logging the warning only to
  stderr. Scarf can't distinguish "loaded" from "silently missing"
  at that layer; the stopReason=refusal surfacing above catches the
  downstream symptom. Upstream issue worth filing.

Release docs
- releases/v2.0.0/RELEASE_NOTES.md with full user-facing breakdown.
- README.md "What's New" bumped to 2.0 with a multi-server section.
  Compatibility table adds v0.10.0 as verified.
- GitHub repo description updated (via `gh repo edit`) to call out
  multi-server + remote SSH.

35 files changed, +809/-350.
