Ramnique Singh 3822bf53da feat(x): reference-based model requests + wire-form composer
model_call_requested carried three duplications that dominated turn-file
size (measured on a real 647KB two-step turn): the system prompt (28KB)
and the 38-tool snapshot (40KB) repeated per call despite being byte-
identical to turn_created.agent.resolved, and messages re-inlining the
whole current-turn transcript (230KB re-stating a 207KB tool result).

ModelRequest is now a list of references into the turn's own events —
call 0: [{context}?, {input}]; call N: [{assistant: N-1}, ...that
batch's toolResults in source order]; re-issue after an interruption:
[]. Every referenced byte exists exactly once in the file; the measured
turn drops to ~285KB and each further model call costs ~200 bytes. The
reducer's ordering invariant got stricter: reference lists are matched
exactly against the transcript.

Debuggability is now byte-for-byte at the wire level: ResolvedModel
gains encodeMessages (the structural->wire conversion — user-message
context weaving, attachment rendering, tool-result enveloping, i.e.
convertFromMessages), and composeModelRequest rebuilds the exact
provider payload (resolved system prompt + wrapped tools + materialized
prefix + resolved refs, encoded). The loop transmits exactly the
composer's output, so the durable file plus the composer reproduce what
the model received — pinned by a property test asserting composed ==
sent for every call, and a 2KB size guard on request events. A bridge
test demonstrates the woven wire form (no raw userMessageContext).

Breaking for existing dev turn files (same schemaVersion, pre-release):
wipe ~/.rowboat/storage.
