sessions.patch for verboseLevel=full was called before the agent RPC created the session, so it silently failed on new chats. Tool events were never emitted and the frontend only showed brief text responses. Now patches both before (for existing sessions) and after the agent RPC (for newly created sessions). Also adds SSE keepalive to the POST /api/chat stream to prevent connection drops during long tool executions, and removes the unused legacy CLI spawn codepath.
