Flatten Win98 session rows into a coherent list

[luokerenx4]

What changed

• add stable session-row styling seams to the shared Workspace sidebar row
• keep the session title surface flat under the Win98 profile
• reserve classic raised chrome for the compact lifecycle and overflow actions
• tighten the Win98 session row to a 28 px list rhythm with 24 px trailing controls
• document that repeated navigation labels remain rows rather than becoming independent command buttons

Root cause

The Win98 profile applied bevel chrome to every native button. A session row is composed of three buttons, so the title, lifecycle action, and overflow action each rendered as a separate raised rectangle.

User impact

Recent conversations now scan as one continuous list. The title remains the primary target, while Play/Stop and More retain their appropriate classic toolbar affordance.
