📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAssistant messages now retain stable IDs and ChangesAssistant message metadata
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Although this change preserves assistant message metadata in several paths, some provider and finalization paths can still lose, replace, or overwrite IDs and timestamps in persisted turns and terminal transcripts.

onChunk()receives chunks from the regular model stream and fromTextEngine.runStructuredFinalization(). The finalization path runs withctx.phase === 'structuredOutput', but this code captures itsTEXT_MESSAGE_STARTandTEXT_MESSAGE_CONTENTevents.This can overwrite
streamingMessageIdandstreamingMessageCreatedAt. WithsnapshotStreamingenabled, it can also persist structured-output JSON as a partial assistant message. The terminal save can then use the wrong metadata or include an extra message.Restrict both captures to the regular model-stream phase.

Preserve metadata in message snapshots.
id and createdAt are added to the assistant message here. buildMessagesSnapshotChunk() later creates MessagesSnapshotEvent.messages with a generated snapshot_* ID and no createdAt. Interrupt snapshots can therefore still lose the stable assistant identity and timestamp.
Update the snapshot projection and its type to preserve the stored message metadata. Add a regression assertion for both fields.

Ignore empty TEXT_MESSAGE_START IDs.
If a provider emits messageId: '', Line 1545 stores the empty value. The tool-call fallback then does not run because streamingMessageId is no longer undefined. The persisted tool-call turn loses its valid parentMessageId.
