fix(canvas/ChatTab): add WCAG 2.4.7 focus-visible ring to the talk_to_user Enable button

PR #1256 has an outstanding WCAG blocker: the "Enable" button that
re-enables agent-to-user messaging lacks a focus-visible ring, making
keyboard navigation invisible for sighted keyboard users.

Adds focus-visible:ring-2 (with matching accent colour and zinc-900 offset)
to the Enable button className, satisfying WCAG 2.4.7 (Focus Visible).

Also adds ChatTab.talkToUserBanner.test.tsx with 5 test cases:
  - Banner hidden when talkToUserEnabled=true
  - Banner shown when talkToUserEnabled=false
  - Enable button renders
  - Enable button calls PATCH /workspaces/:id/abilities with correct payload
  - Enable button has focus-visible:ring-2 class (WCAG 2.4.7)

-// Regression coverage for the POLL-mode arm of the canvas user-message
-// data-loss bug (internal#470 sibling — tracked on internal#471).
-//
-// Bug (reported 2026-05-16 by CTO Hongming): "in canvas i sometimes lose
-// my own message when i exit chat". The push-mode arm was fixed by
-// #1347 (persistUserMessageAtIngest — a SYNCHRONOUS, before-dispatch,
-// context.WithoutCancel INSERT). #1347's framing asserted "poll-mode
-// workspaces were never affected — logA2AReceiveQueued already persists
-// at ingest". That assertion is OVERSTATED.
-//
-// Hongming's tenant (slug `hongming`, org 2c940477-...) has 4 workspaces,
-// ALL runtime=external with empty URL → ALL delivery_mode=poll (proven
-// empirically: a benign A2A probe returns the synthetic
-// {"delivery_mode":"poll","status":"queued"} envelope for every one).
-// So his reported loss is the POLL path, NOT the push path #1347 fixes.
-//
-// Root cause (poll arm): the poll-mode short-circuit (a2a_proxy.go ~402)
-// calls logA2AReceiveQueued and then IMMEDIATELY returns the synthetic
-// 200 {status:"queued"} to the canvas. But logA2AReceiveQueued's durable
-// INSERT runs inside h.goAsync(...) — a DETACHED goroutine with NO
-// happens-before barrier against the HTTP response. The canvas sees 200
-// ("message accepted") while the activity_logs row may not yet be — and,
-// on a workspace-server restart / deploy / OOM / EC2 hibernation between
-// the 200 and the goroutine's commit, NEVER will be — durable. There is
-// also no fallback (unlike push-mode's legacy-INSERT fallback): a
-// swallowed LogActivity error loses the message with only a log line.
-// Chat-history reads activity_logs (postgres_store.go:165-187); a missing
-// row = message gone on reopen. That is exactly Hongming's symptom.
-//
-// Fix (parity with push-mode): the poll-mode ingest persist of the
-// canvas user message must be SYNCHRONOUS — committed before the queued
-// 200 is returned — on a context.WithoutCancel derived context, so a
-// client disconnect on chat-exit and a post-response restart cannot lose
-// it. Behavior is never worse than today (best-effort; a persist error
-// still returns queued).
-//
-// TEST DESIGN NOTE: sqlmock.ExpectationsWereMet() hangs indefinitely if
-// the expected query never fires. We use a select+default+time.After
-// pattern so the test FAILS fast (not hangs) when the production code
-// regresses to async (the INSERT never fires before handler returns),
-// while still returning promptly when all expectations are met. The
-// insertDelay is kept small (50ms) to minimise suite-level timing
-// impact under -race detection, where mock delays are amplified by
-// the instrumenter's goroutine overhead.

-//
-// The test proves the ordering by making the INSERT block briefly and
-// asserting the handler does NOT return until the INSERT has completed.
-// Pre-fix (INSERT in h.goAsync, response returned immediately) the
