🤖 fix: persist status_url when loading historical messages

The loadHistoricalMessages function was only processing the most recent
assistant message, which meant that lastStatusUrl wasn't populated from
earlier messages. This caused the URL to be lost when:

1. User sends a message with status_set that includes a URL
2. User sends another message with status_set WITHOUT a URL
3. Page reloads or workspace switches

Now we scan ALL historical messages in chronological order to build up
lastStatusUrl before processing the final state.

Additionally, status URLs now persist through compaction via localStorage:
- Frontend persists lastStatusUrl to localStorage keyed by workspaceId
- Loaded on aggregator construction, survives history rewrite
- Backend has no knowledge of status URLs (clean separation)
