📄 Description

Messages.svelte rebuilds the message list by walking the parent chain and creating spread copies on every history.messages change. During streaming, this runs on every token — hundreds of times per second — even though each ResponseMessage already has its own reactive binding for content updates. Throttle the rebuild to once per animation frame (~60Hz) during content-only updates, while keeping immediate rebuilds for structural changes (currentId changes like chat switches, navigation, or new messages). Adds onDestroy cleanup for the pending rAF.

this is a completely invisible change - free lunch
