fix(chat): format every message time where it is drawn - #1152
Conversation
Messages loaded from the main process carry an ISO createdAt, and the panel printed it as is. A first message lands in a session created mid-send, which reloads it from the main process, so it showed a raw timestamp next to a formatted reply. Every message now keeps the ISO string and the header formats it. Refs #1134.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to A malformed saved timestamp can display “Invalid Date” for its message. This is a narrow issue; the new test also does not directly cover the first-message path. Pre-merge checks |

252-263: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winExercise the optimistic first-message path
renderPanelWithAssistantMessage()loads a stored session with existing messages. It does not invokesend()with no chat history. A locale-formatted timestamp atLeftPanel.tsx:605would not affect this test, so the first-message formatting behavior remains without a detecting assertion. Add a focused test that sends the first message in an empty session and asserts its displayed time.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

- Line 1267: Handle invalid persisted timestamps in the message rendering path
near the time display: validate that m.time parses to a valid date before
calling toLocaleTimeString, and show a readable fallback when it does not.
Alternatively, enforce timestamp validity when loading sessions so invalid
values never reach this formatter.
