Follow-up to #934 cleaning up the JSONL schema.

  • session_id was vscode.env.sessionId verbatim (UUID + ms timestamp, looks malformed); event_id / trace_id were UUIDv4, not OTel hex.
  • New src/telemetry/ids.tsnewTraceId / newSpanId / newSessionId (32 / 16 / 32 hex, OTel widths).
  • TelemetryService now takes a built SessionContext instead of ExtensionContext, removing the as unknown as test fixtures. ServiceContainer builds it once and threads sessionId to both the sink filename and the event payload.

Also folds in #934 review feedback: tightened a couple of comments and moved coder.{tasks,chat}.refresh registrations adjacent to their panel providers.

Stacked on #934. Retarget once that lands.

The local JSONL output exposed two schema rough edges. First, session_id
was vscode.env.sessionId verbatim, which is a UUID concatenated with a
ms timestamp ("0f465473-...-bed92cb4ed3a1777982179036"), looking like a
malformed UUID. Second, event_id and trace_id were UUIDv4 with hyphens,
not the lowercase-hex form OTel uses, so a future exporter would need a
translation layer for no real reason.

- Add src/telemetry/ids.ts with newTraceId (16 bytes / 32 hex),
  newSpanId (8 bytes / 16 hex), and newSessionId (16 bytes / 32 hex).
  Names and widths match OTel.
- buildSession takes sessionId as a parameter instead of reading
  vscode.env.sessionId, decoupling our schema from VS Code's quirks.
- TelemetryService accepts sessionId in its constructor and forwards
  it to buildSession.
- ServiceContainer generates one sessionId via newSessionId() and
  threads it to both LocalJsonlSink (filename slug) and TelemetryService
  (event payload), so the on-disk filename and the session_id field
  always match.
- service.ts: replace crypto.randomUUID() with newSpanId / newTraceId
  at every event emission.
- Tests updated for the new sessionId parameter and the new id format
  regex (/^[0-9a-f]{16}$/ for event_id, sessionId is now an explicit
  test fixture).

trace_id stays on every event (including single-event "traces"). You
cannot know at emit time whether a phase child will follow, and a
consistent schema is more valuable to consumers than 36 bytes per
event.
