Make the render comparison tolerate regressed baselines.

scripts/render-metrics.ts runs the whole renders project. runOnce throws when the Vitest process exits non-zero, before it reads any scenario report. A failing assertion in app-stream-assistant-turn therefore stops the run command and produces no comparison data. The copied harness on a revision with the history-row regression can fail these assertions, so the comparison workflow cannot capture that baseline.

A separate regression test does not fix this if it stays in the renders project, because the runner executes that whole project and still exits non-zero. The test must run in a different Vitest project, or the runner must handle these failures without dropping the other scenarios. Either change needs a deliberate design decision, and no safe localized patch is established by the inspected code.

Update the render-comparison workflow so a failing app-stream-assistant-turn
assertion does not prevent other scenario reports from being collected: either
move these regression assertions out of the renders project or change runOnce to
retain available reports after a non-zero Vitest exit. Choose the approach that
fits the existing project and reporting design.
