Keep the original prompt seed until provider session creation succeeds.

If startProviderSession fails before bindSessionToThread, the thread is marked "error" but no provider session exists. A later turn has hasOtherUserMessages === true, so it omits titleSeed. The retry then passes the persisted client seed as a manual session title, which prevents generated-title behavior.

Preserve the original seed in the retry state and pass it while no provider session exists. Do not replace it with a later renamed title.

1514 - 1516, Update the titleSeed handling in the startProviderSession flow to
retain and pass the original seed on retries whenever no provider session has
been created, even when hasOtherUserMessages is true. Keep that seed unchanged
until bindSessionToThread succeeds; do not substitute a later renamed title.
