What does this PR do?

The TUI and CLI session list show sessions from ALL directories instead of scoping to the current working directory.

The root cause is in thread.ts — the normal TUI startup path never passes directory to tui(), so sdk.directory is undefined throughout the entire TUI lifecycle. All downstream directory filtering silently becomes a no-op. Only attach.ts (remote attach) correctly passed directory.

The fix:

1. thread.ts — Pass directory: cwd to tui(). This is the root fix that makes everything else work.
2. sdk.tsx — Expose directory on the SDK context return so downstream consumers can read it.
3. sync.tsx — Pass sdk.directory to the bootstrap session.list() call so the initial load is filtered. Also guard SSE session inserts — if the incoming session's directory doesn't match sdk.directory, don't insert it (existing sessions can still update).
4. dialog-session-list.tsx — Pass sdk.directory to search queries, with sync.data.path.directory as fallback.
5. session.ts — CLI session list passes Instance.directory to Session.list().

The server already supports directory filtering in Session.list() (line 518-520 of session/index.ts) — it just was never being passed from the TUI path.

Supersedes #14443 (closed — missed the thread.ts root cause).

How did you verify your code works?

• Built a patched binary and installed it locally
• CLI verification: patched binary shows 13 sessions for a specific directory vs 25 sessions (all directories leaked) with the stock binary, from the same working directory
• TUI verification: opened opencode from two different project directories, /sessions dialog shows only sessions belonging to each respective directory
• bun turbo typecheck passes 12/12 packages
• No new dependencies added

Screenshots / recordings

N/A — this is a data filtering fix, not a UI change. The session list looks identical, it just shows the correct subset of sessions.

   • Addresses the same root cause (passing directory to tui() in thread.ts), which is the key fix in PR fix(session): scope session list and TUI to current directory #14489.

3. fix(tui): pass directory to tui() to fix session loading #13602 — "fix(tui): pass directory to tui() to fix session loading"

   • Similar fix targeting the TUI directory parameter issue.
