Summary

Closes #84.
Same-chat history now defaults on, and existing accounts are switched on. The account toggle stays an opt-out. Follow-ups such as "I don't know, why?" and "put that list in a table" can see the previous turn.
Grounded answers may use the conversation for follow-ups. Citations stay on facts that come from live sources. A pure follow-up skips web search; a follow-up that asks for a price or rating still searches.
Conversation prompts are loaded oldest-first (created, then id) for the model and for conversation_details. The current user turn is dropped from history by matching its text.
Display order of the bubbles is chat_web_app#136.

Ask for a joke, then "I don't know, why?". The reply explains the joke and does not cite an unrelated page.
Ask for stroller options, then ask for that list in a table with prices and ratings. The table uses the products already named. Missing prices are called out as missing, not the list.
Turn "Remember this chat" off. The next reply ignores earlier turns. Turn it back on and a follow-up uses them again.
Reload a multi-turn chat. Bubbles stay oldest at the top.

Same-chat history defaulted off, and grounded answers were told to use live sources only, so a follow-up could not see the previous turn. Prompt rows were also loaded with no order.

Closes #84.
