feat(core,webapp): version 2 transcript snapshot and a dual-version dashboard reader

Adds TranscriptSnapshotV2 (entries of {id, final, message} plus an opaque state record) and parseTranscriptSnapshot(), which reads a version 1 or version 2 blob into the version 2 shape. The Sessions dashboard seeds its transcript through that reader, so it keeps rendering history once the SDK starts writing version 2. The SDK still writes version 1 in this change.
