The mid-stream reconnect path could render the just-sent user message below
the live streaming assistant response it triggered, because
`refreshSession()` appended `pending_user_message` at the end of
`S.messages` unconditionally while `loadSession()` correctly inserted
it before the first live assistant message. When the client went through
its reconnect/recovery path mid-turn (typical on iOS PWA screen
lock/resume) the live assistant tail rendered above the prompt.
Centralize every recovery/reconnect reinsertion through one
identity-aware helper (`_mergePendingSessionMessage`) that:
- inserts the owning user turn before its live assistant/Worklog tail,
- appends only when no live tail exists,
- deduplicates against the current tail user row,
- remains idempotent across repeated resume probes.
`refreshSession()` now calls the same helper instead of pushing at
the end. `loadSession()` continues to use the helper unchanged.
Adds `tests/test_issue6419_pending_user_reconnect_order.py` pinning:
- the helper is defined exactly once at module top level,
- it inserts before live assistant and falls back to append,
- `refreshSession()` uses the helper and does not push unconditionally,
- `loadSession()` still merges before renderMessages in the INFLIGHT
reattach branch.
Renames the inner end-marker in
`tests/test_gateway_sse_reconnect_dedupe.py` to a stable inside-loadSession
boundary (`// Phase 2a:`) since the helper is no longer nested.
