Fix fork source display in /status (expose forked_from_id in app server) (#16596)

Addresses #16560

Problem: `/status` stopped showing the source thread id in forked TUI
sessions after the app-server migration.

Solution: Carry fork source ids through app-server v2 thread data and
the TUI session adapter, and update TUI fixtures so `/status` matches
the old TUI behavior.

 - `thread/start` — create a new thread; emits `thread/started` (including the current `thread.status`) and auto-subscribes you to turn/item events for that thread.
 - `thread/resume` — reopen an existing thread by id so subsequent `turn/start` calls append to it.
-- `thread/fork` — fork an existing thread into a new thread id by copying the stored history; if the source thread is currently mid-turn, the fork records the same interruption marker as `turn/interrupt` instead of inheriting an unmarked partial turn suffix. Accepts `ephemeral: true` for an in-memory temporary fork, emits `thread/started` (including the current `thread.status`), and auto-subscribes you to turn/item events for the new thread.
+- `thread/fork` — fork an existing thread into a new thread id by copying the stored history; if the source thread is currently mid-turn, the fork records the same interruption marker as `turn/interrupt` instead of inheriting an unmarked partial turn suffix. The returned `thread.forkedFromId` points at the source thread when known. Accepts `ephemeral: true` for an in-memory temporary fork, emits `thread/started` (including the current `thread.status`), and auto-subscribes you to turn/item events for the new thread.
 - `thread/list` — page through stored rollouts; supports cursor-based pagination and optional `modelProviders`, `sourceKinds`, `archived`, `cwd`, and `searchTerm` filters. Each returned `thread` includes `status` (`ThreadStatus`), defaulting to `notLoaded` when the thread is not currently loaded.
 - `thread/loaded/list` — list the thread ids currently loaded in memory.
 - `thread/read` — read a stored thread by id without resuming it; optionally include turns via `includeTurns`. The returned `thread` includes `status` (`ThreadStatus`), defaulting to `notLoaded` when the thread is not currently loaded.
