leetcrypt 9b85255d80 feat(ai): backfill context on join + token-budget window
The server already ships the full RAM message backlog in the init frame; the
agent was discarding it. _seed_transcript now decrypts that history with the
room key (skipping our own lines, control frames, and undecryptable blobs) so
the agent has context the moment it joins instead of starting amnesiac.

_window() replaces the fixed last-12 slice on both the answer and sandbox
paths: it walks newest-to-oldest and keeps messages up to --token-budget
(approx, ~4 chars/token), still capped at --context-window count. Keeps small
local models inside their effective context. Nothing touches disk.

"""Headless AI agent that joins a hack-house room as a normal encrypted client.
It authenticates with SRP + the room password, derives the room key, decrypts
broadcasts, and — only when explicitly addressed via ``/ai`` — sends the
conversation to a model provider and posts the reply back to the room.
PoC scope: enabling/disabling the AI = running/stopping this process. No
in-room permission system yet.
