MYC-1328: Stop automatic artist switching during chat creation

[sidneyswift]

Problem

When creating a new chat with a non-default artist selected (e.g., Chillpill), the app would automatically switch back to the first artist in the list. This happened because usePrompts.tsx had logic that would automatically select the first artist when no artist was selected, but this logic was triggering incorrectly during chat creation.

Solution

Modified usePrompts.tsx to:

• Remove the auto-selection of first artist
• Remove artists and setSelectedArtist from the hook
• Keep the user's explicitly selected artist

Changes

• Single file change: hooks/usePrompts.tsx
• Removed 7 lines, added 2 lines
• No new dependencies added
• No database changes required

Testing

To verify this fix:

1. Select a non-default artist (e.g., Chillpill)
2. Create a new chat via /new (not via root) [separate ticket fixes root new chats redirection bug]
3. Verify the selected artist remains the same
4. Create multiple /new chats to ensure the artist selection persists

Other Bugs (Open Tickets)

• Chat shows messages from other rooms.
• Chats created from / redirect back to / instead of room.
• Chat input box does not clear text after submit
