User story

As an operator, I want to retry a failed asst response, edit a prior user message and re-run from there, or fork the session at any point, so I can explore alternatives without losing the original thread.

Acceptance criteria

Regenerate

Hover state on the last assistant bubble exposes a "Regenerate" icon button. Click → drops the last asst from messages, re-sends the prior user message via the existing /foreman/chat path.
Regenerate also works on the second-to-last asst (truncates messages after that point and re-runs).

Edit user message

Hover a user bubble → "Edit" icon. Click puts the bubble into an inline <textarea>; submitting truncates everything after, replaces the message, and re-runs from there.
Server endpoint: POST /foreman/sessions/:id/truncate taking a message index — replaces messages array up to that index.

Fork

Hover any message → "Fork" icon. Creates a new session whose messages is a copy of the current up to that point and whose claude_session_id is null (fresh SDK session). Caller is navigated to the new session.

Out of scope

Branch tree visualization (a flat fork is enough).
