Fixes #1089
Avoids render-time randomness in useChat by passing React's deterministic useId to ChatClient when threadId is omitted, and makes the devtools bridge identity derive solely from the stable hook ID. This keeps SSR render and hydration deterministic and avoids crypto.randomUUID during server render.
Tests: ai-client devtools suite (34 passed). ai-react use-chat suite could not run because the local workspace package link for @tanstack/ai-client is missing.
