fix-chat-history-gateway-timeout	Fix chat history timeout through gateway backend communication	gateway-backend-communication	runtime-bridge	Reduce startup chat.history contention so foreground history loads do not time out behind sidebar background hydration.	harness/specs/tasks/fix-chat-history-gateway-timeout.md electron/api/routes/sessions.ts electron/gateway/rpc-backpressure.ts electron/main/ipc-handlers.ts src/components/layout/Sidebar.tsx src/pages/Chat/index.tsx src/pages/Chat/message-utils.ts src/stores/chat.ts src/stores/chat/history-actions.ts src/stores/chat/history-startup-retry.ts src/stores/chat/session-actions.ts src/stores/chat/session-label-hydration.ts src/stores/chat/store-api.ts src/stores/chat/types.ts tests/unit/chat-store-session-label-fetch.test.ts tests/unit/gateway-rpc-backpressure.test.ts tests/unit/session-label-fetch.test.ts tests/unit/session-summaries-route.test.ts	Foreground chat history loading is prioritized during gateway startup and restart. Sidebar/session label hydration does not compete with the first visible history load. Sidebar label hydration uses the existing host API boundary instead of heavy gateway chat.history fan-out. Renderer continues to use the existing host/store boundary.	fast comms	gateway-readiness-policy renderer-main-boundary backend-communication-boundary api-client-transport-policy	pnpm run typecheck tests/unit/chat-store-session-label-fetch.test.ts tests/unit/gateway-rpc-backpressure.test.ts tests/unit/session-label-fetch.test.ts tests/unit/session-summaries-route.test.ts	Renderer does not add direct IPC calls. Renderer does not fetch Gateway HTTP directly. Startup/restart no longer fans out sidebar label chat.history calls before the visible session history finishes loading. Sidebar label hydration no longer depends on gateway chat.history full-session scans. Foreground history uses a bounded startup RPC wait and falls back to local transcript reads instead of surfacing transient RPC timeout errors. Main-process chat.history RPCs are single-flighted/backpressured before reaching the Gateway.	required false
