Summary

After navigating away from Chat and returning (via sidebar/top nav), the active session and rendered conversation can diverge.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Chat and select a non-default session (for example old).
2. Send at least one message in that session.
3. Navigate to another page (Overview/Sessions/etc.) using sidebar/top nav.
4. Return to Chat from navigation.
5. Observe mismatch: selected session remains old, but bubbles may show main/heartbeat history.

Expected behavior

When returning to Chat, the rendered messages must always correspond to the currently selected session key/sessionId.

Actual behavior

Chat history can show a different session than the selected one.
