fix(sessions): preserve prompt when sending while offline

[posthog]

Summary

Pressing Enter in the message editor while offline used to clear the typed prompt even though the message never reached the agent. The connectivity check inside service.sendPrompt() throws asynchronously, but useTiptapEditor.submit() already runs doClear() synchronously after onSubmit fires — so the input was wiped before the offline error could be caught.

This wraps the existing onBeforeSubmit hook (which is already designed to gate clearing — returning false short-circuits both onSubmit and the editor's auto-clear) at the SessionView level with a connectivity check. The typed message stays in the editor, and a stable-id toast gives immediate feedback that the send didn't go through. Both TaskLogsPanel and CommandCenterSessionView benefit since they share SessionView.

The new-task input (TaskInput) already disables submit when offline, so it isn't affected.

Test plan

• Disconnect from the network, type a prompt in an existing task's editor, press Enter → prompt remains in the editor and a "Can't send while offline" toast appears.
• Reconnect, press Enter → the prompt sends as normal.
• Branch-mismatch flow still triggers when expected (the wrapped onBeforeSubmit still delegates to useBranchMismatchDialog.handleBeforeSubmit).
• Same offline behavior works in the command center session view.

**No user feedback when submit is blocked offline**

`handleBeforeSubmit` silently returns `false` when offline, so the editor content is preserved (correct) but the user gets no indication of *why* their submit was ignored. The PR description and test plan explicitly state "a 'Can't send while offline' toast appears," but no such toast is fired here.

The existing connectivity toast in `connectivityToast.ts` is debounced by 5 s, so if the user goes offline and tries to send within that window, the submit silently no-ops with zero feedback. A `toast.error(…)` call is needed inside the `if (!isOnline)` branch.

```suggestion
  const handleBeforeSubmit = useCallback(
    (text: string, clearEditor: () => void): boolean => {
      if (!isOnline) {
        toast.error("Can't send while offline", {
          id: "send-offline",
          description: "Reconnect to the network and try again.",
        });
        return false;
      }
      return onBeforeSubmit ? onBeforeSubmit(text, clearEditor) : true;
    },
    [isOnline, onBeforeSubmit],
  );
```

How can I resolve this? If you propose a fix, please make it concise.

originally, is the general toast for connectivity shown after this prompt is submitted? so if this stays as is, we would not be showing anything?

[greptile-apps]

Yes, that's correct. The general connectivity toast from connectivityToast.ts fires on the isOnline state transition (after a 5-second debounce), not in response to a submit attempt. So it would show up regardless of whether the user tried to submit or not.

In the original (pre-PR) flow:

1. onBeforeSubmit passed (no connectivity check), onSubmit fired, editor cleared
2. sendPrompt threw asynchronously
3. The general offline toast appeared only after the 5s debounce (unrelated to the submit)

With this PR, if the user goes offline and submits within that 5-second window, handleBeforeSubmit returns false silently — the debounced toast hasn't appeared yet and there's no submit-specific toast either, so they get zero feedback. After the 5s window the general toast is already visible, so the silent no-op is more tolerable, but it's still not great UX.

Adding a toast.error(...) in the !isOnline branch (as I originally suggested) would handle the window case and give immediate, action-specific feedback regardless of when the user goes offline.
