fix(#980-bug8): chat/send warns when no AI persona exists to listen#994

Conversation
Carl's #980 Bug 8: chat/send accepted messages + returned success even when zero AI personas exist in the system. Cascade from seed-failure: no personas seeded → agent/list returns [] → user types "hello", gets nothing back, no signal anywhere. Cheap probe (limit 1) for persona-type users; warn in result message when count is zero. Message is still stored (non-blocking on result), but the user gets a clear "stored but no listener" hint with a diagnostic command + re-seed pointer.

…#1000) Per Joel's "100% free OOTB on MacBook Air on up, canary e2e working from curl, Carl's case" — the existing smoke probe only validates the page renders, not that a chat actually gets an AI reply. That's the true Carl-impact gate: if Carl types "hello" + gets nothing, the install isn't shippable, regardless of whether /health returned 200. This extends the smoke script with a 4th phase: 4. End-to-end chat: - Locate jtag binary (3 search paths) - Send a unique probe message to #general - Detect #994's "no listener" warning → exit 6 (distinct failure) - Poll chat/export for an AI reply (default 90s timeout) - On reply: report latency in PASS banner - On timeout: list root-cause diagnostic commands per #964/#980 series Exit codes (extends 0-3 from existing): 4 — chat/send command failed (system not ready for chat at all) 5 — no AI reply within timeout (the main Carl-blocker shape — silent AI) 6 — chat/send accepted but reported NO PERSONAS (#994 warning) — distinct from 5: "no AI" vs "AI didn't respond" CARL_CHAT_TIMEOUT_SEC env override (default 90s) for slow first-runs where DMR is cold-loading the persona model. The diagnostic message on exit 5 lists the post-#980 fix points so a future regression has an obvious starting checklist: - #997's 'local' default routing (cloud fallback dropped) - DMR running (Docker Desktop 4.62+ check from install.sh) - GPU EP cfg (#985/#991 fixed broken cfg gates) - Persona model pulled into DMR - NEW-A SIGABRT (tracked upstream as ggml-org/llama.cpp#22593) Now CI's carl-install-smoke gate proves the OOTB chain works end-to-end, not just up to the page render.

Carl's #980 Bug 8: chat/send returned success even when zero AI personas exist → user typed message, got nothing back, no signal. Now warns clearly in the success message when no listener.
