fix: stream agent tokens to the Agents UI (#1329)

* fix(dashboard): stream agent tokens to the Agents UI

The dashboard SSE endpoint was serializing the SDK's `StreamPart`
namedtuple via `str(part)`, so every event arrived at the browser
with `event = "StreamPart(event='values', data=..., id=None)"`. The
frontend's `event.startsWith("messages")` branch never fired and
every event fell through to a query refetch — which is why tool
calls appeared to stream (state refetch) but assistant text did not.

Also opt the run into `messages-tuple` stream mode so the server
actually buffers per-token `AIMessageChunk` events, and forward
`Last-Event-ID` so reconnects resume the in-flight run instead of
restarting from `seq=0`.

* fix(dashboard): drop unsupported stream_mode arg from join_stream

threads.join_stream's stream_mode is a ThreadStreamMode literal
(run_modes/lifecycle/state_update); passing run-level modes is
invalid. The default 'run_modes' already replays the modes the
run was created with, which we set correctly on runs.create.
