fix(tui,host): project the human transcript from append-origin events

The terminal and history pagination both treated the model-visible surface as
the human transcript. A landed compaction replacement therefore erased the
conversation it summarized — messages the reader had already seen — and a
model-only replacement copy consumed a page's `maxMessages` quota, which could
also split a compaction's provenance from the replacement citing it.

`dsh-session` now exports the marker split `isAppendSurfaceEvent` /
`isReplacementSurfaceEvent`. The terminal replays append-origin surface events,
keeps a shadowed step's tool cards paired through its append-origin assistant
message, and renders one dim marker where a compaction landed; the checkpoint is
recognized through the compaction seam's `isCompactCheckpointSource` contract,
not the shape of the replacement. `session.history` counts only append-origin
human messages. Everything model-facing keeps reading `session.surface`.

 The layering/protocol decisions are recorded in the [GUI layering and RPC protocol RFC](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-19-gui-layering-and-rpc-protocol.md); the browser-side consumption architecture in the [web client architecture RFC](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-19-gui-web-client-architecture.md).
 
+`session.history` pages on append-origin human-message boundaries: `maxMessages` counts `user/message`, `assistant/message`, and `steering/message` events that entered the surface by appending, so a model-only replacement copy consumes no quota. Each page stays one contiguous raw event range, which keeps a compaction's log-only provenance on the same page as the replacement that cites it.
+
 `session.history`'s tail page (`beforeSeq` absent) additionally carries an optional `projections` block — the watermark snapshot of every unit registered on `ctx.sessionProjections` (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-session-projection`), with `asOfSeq` = the last event seq the values reflect (`-1` on an empty log). The gateway also subscribes to the registry's change feed and mints a `session/projection` mux frame per changed unit (`{sessionId, key, value, seq}` — live push state, never logged; clients hold one generic per-session value store under higher-seq-wins). The carrier holds zero domain knowledge (each value passed its unit's own schema inside the registry; the wire schemas keep `values`/`value` wide); loadOlder pages never carry the block, and a composition without the registry serves histories without either surface.
 
 Session titles ride the generic projection pair like every other domain — the history-tail `projections` block plus `session/projection` frames under the `title` key (the bespoke `session/title` frame is retired). Titles do not join `session.list`; cold sessions remain metadata-only there until opening or resuming attaches their logs.

+`session.history` 按追加来源的人类消息边界分页：`maxMessages` 统计以追加方式进入 surface 的 `user/message`、`assistant/message` 和 `steering/message` 事件，因此仅供模型使用的替换副本不占用配额。每一页仍是一段连续的原始事件区间，从而让压缩（compaction）的仅日志溯源信息与引用它的替换留在同一页。
+
 `session.history` 的尾页（不带 `beforeSeq`）额外携带一个可选的 `projections` 块——`ctx.sessionProjections`（`@deepseek-ai/dsh-session-projection`）上每个已注册单元的水位线快照，`asOfSeq` = 这些值共同反映到的最后一个事件 seq（空日志为 `-1`）。网关还订阅注册表的变更流，为每个状态发生变化的单元铸造一个 `session/projection` mux 帧（`{sessionId, key, value, seq}`——实时推送状态，绝不入日志；客户端按 seq 高者胜维护一个按会话的通用值仓）。载体不持有任何领域知识（每个值在注册表内部已过其单元自己的 schema；协议 schema 对 `values`/`value` 保持宽松）；loadOlder 页永不携带该块，未装注册表的组合则两个面都不提供。
 
 会话标题与其他所有领域一样搭乘这对通用投影机制——历史尾页的 `projections` 块外加 `title` 键下的 `session/projection` 帧（专设的 `session/title` 帧已下线）。标题不会加入 `session.list`；冷会话在其中仍只有元数据，直到打开或恢复操作附加其日志。
