The demo chat was silently dropping conversation context past 40 turns
and leaving the thinking bubble spinning forever when the soul backend
hung — visitors saw a frozen UI with no way to know what went wrong.
Changes:
- Stored history cap raised from 40 → 200 messages so longer
conversations actually persist across page refreshes.
- History sent to backend per turn raised from 20 → 50 messages.
- 30s AbortController timeout on the /api/demo fetch — surfaces a
distinct "Took too long to respond" error instead of hanging.
- Restore script (restore-chat-js-with-preview.py) is now correctly
idempotent in both directions: detects when modal HTML is inlined
but chat JS got extracted to an asset, and re-injects fresh source
so extract-js picks up changes on the next build.
