Use a stable request correlation key before merging.

If two pending ask_user rows have no toolCallID, this loop always selects the newest row. A late tool call for an older request then receives the wrong askUserId and lifecycle metadata.

Carry a shared request identifier on both events and require it to match before updating the row. Add a regression test that attaches two requests and delivers their tool calls in reverse order.

In `@web/src/app/store.ts` around lines 601 - 616, The ask_user merge logic in the
timeline update loop must correlate events using a stable shared request
identifier, not only toolCallID. Propagate that identifier on both request and
tool-call events, require matching identifiers before updating a pending row,
and add a regression test covering two requests whose tool calls arrive in
reverse order.
