feat: live AI chat (thinking + inline Veil) and display/add actions

Make the chat feel alive and let the agent act on the clinic — safely.

UX (frontend):
- Stream `data-step` parts from each tool into an inline Chain-of-Thought
  trace, plus a "Thinking…" shimmer while a request is in flight (works even
  on the non-streamed external+Veil path).
- Replace the modal Veil consent Dialog with an inline, once-per-session
  "Veil" confirmation above the input (with a "Use local model" option).
- Render new list + action-preview cards; chat-input now uses COSS tokens.

Agent (backend):
- Add display tools (listAppointments / listTasks / listPrescriptions) and
  propose tools (proposeAppointment / proposeTask / proposePrescription) that
  validate as a dry run and stream an approval card — nothing is written until
  the clinician approves, via the existing RBAC-gated create endpoints.
- previewImport now also covers single-patient add + migration.
- System prompt: display + add only, never edit/delete or alter the schema;
  stronger migration guidance. ToolContext carries the viewer for task scoping.
