First-class `--channel` / `channels` field for sessions

Adds a dedicated session field for Claude Code plugin channels (Telegram, Discord, Slack, …), making channel subscriptions a named, persisted, restart-safe part of the session — no more wrapper hack.

Motivated by the 2026-04-15 incident: conductor silently lost Telegram messages after a restart because the `claude` invocation was regenerated without `--channels`.

New

• `agent-deck add --channel ` (repeatable) — record channel(s) at session creation
• `agent-deck launch --channel ` — same, in the combined add+start flow
• `agent-deck session set channels ` — update channels later
• `Session.channels` field in `list --json` / `session show --json`

Fixed

• Session restart previously dropped `--channels` (and any other extra flag). Start and restart now share a single flag-building path (`buildClaudeExtraFlags`) — so future flag additions can't de-sync between the two paths.

Tests added

7 automated + 1 manual E2E entry in `.claude/release-tests.yaml` (a new pre-release regression manifest this release introduces):

• `TestStartCommandAppendsChannels`
• `TestStartCommandOmitsChannelsWhenEmpty`
• `TestChannelsRestartPersist`
• `TestResumeCommandAppendsChannels` ← guards against the restart-path flag-desync class of bug
• `TestAddChannelFlag`
• `TestSessionSetChannels`
• `TestChannelsOnlyForClaude`
• `ch-support-e2e-manual` — end-to-end restart-preserves-channels check

Validation

• All 7 targeted tests green
• Session persistence suite + verify-session-persistence.sh CI workflows both green
• Visual-regression workflow failed on an unrelated CI infrastructure issue (web server did not start in the runner — connection refused on port 18420); this change touches zero web/UI code, so not a regression

Backward compatibility

• `Channels` field is `omitempty` — pre-existing sessions decode as `nil`, emit no `--channels` flag, zero behavior change
• `wrapper` field untouched — orthogonal to channels
• No schema migration — `tool_data` JSON blob is additive-only

Commits on main

• `1917dc2` feat(session): add Channels field and emit --channels in claude command
• `b9ff327` feat(cli): --channel flag on add/launch + storage round-trip for Channels
• `ea2fe41` feat(cli): allow 'agent-deck session set channels '
• `e7097e1` fix(session): preserve --channels (and all extra flags) on restart
• `bf62623` Merge pull request #614 from asheshgoplani/fix/ch-support
