v0.50.262 — Two UX fixes (single-PR release)

Two unrelated UX bugs, both small surgical fixes with regression tests. Same shape as v0.50.255 (PR #1411). Self-built and independently reviewed by nesquena.

Fixed

• + button (and Cmd/Ctrl+K) was a no-op while the first message was streaming (#1432) — the empty-session guard from #1171 was checking only message_count===0, which is true the entire time the first user turn is in-flight. Users couldn't actually open a parallel chat until the first response finished. The guard now also requires !S.busy && !S.session.active_stream_id && !S.session.pending_user_message — same in-flight signal already used by _restoreSettledSession() in messages.js:1081. Reported by @Olyno.
• Profile name field auto-capitalized typed values despite the "lowercase only" hint (#1423) — the input had autocomplete="off" but was missing autocapitalize/autocorrect/spellcheck attributes, so mobile keyboards (iOS Safari / WKWebView / Android Chrome) silently capitalized the first letter and desktop spellcheck could rewrite the value on blur. The form lowercases on submit, so stored data was always correct — the bug was a misleading display during typing. Same attributes added to Base URL.
