fix: merge streamed agent message chunks to prevent fragmentation (#6835)

When external agents (e.g., Claude Code) stream responses via WebSocket,
each chunk was being rendered as a separate content block, resulting in
fragmented display with gaps between chunks.

This change merges consecutive text blocks into a single block before
rendering, providing a continuous, readable message display.

Fixes #6834

Solution

Added a mergeConsecutiveTextBlocks() helper function in
frontend/src/components/chat/acp/blocks.tsx that:
  1. Iterates through all content blocks from streamed chunks
2. Concatenates consecutive text blocks into a single unified text block
3. Preserves non-text blocks (images, audio, resources) in their
original positions
  4. Returns merged content for continuous display

Modified AgentMessagesBlock component to use this function before
rendering, ensuring streamed text appears as a single, readable message.

  Technical Details

  - File modified: frontend/src/components/chat/acp/blocks.tsx
  - Lines added: 47 (40 for the helper function + 7 for integration)
- Algorithm: Simple text accumulation with flush-on-non-text-block logic
- Backward compatible: Does not affect existing functionality or other
message types

  Additional Changes

The linter auto-fixed 12 other files for code style consistency (naming
conventions, type syntax, numeric separators, copyright headers). These
are purely formatting changes with no functional impact.
