feat(assistant): app_install/app_uninstall tools + S6 replay fix

Two changes, one binary batch:

1. app_install/app_uninstall (task 3): '!ai please install bitcoin knots'
   correctly said it can't. Both tools are category-Apps, destructive, and
   ride the 13-08 confirm gate (node-authored descriptions added). Install
   validates catalog membership BEFORE the dialog (a typo never spends an
   approval); uninstall resolves installed ids. Both reach the SAME
   package.install/package.uninstall spawns every authenticated caller
   uses, via a curated Arc-taking sibling of assistant_dispatch_tool.

2. S6: cloud legs no longer strip prior USER turns from replayed history.
   Turn-minimality's allowlist is now the whole conversation's operator
   turns (the node's own D-08 transcript, same trust class as this turn),
   still mechanically matched, B1 secret scan and 64KB cap unchanged,
   fabricated user messages still truncated. The model no longer sees its
   own answers without the questions.
