"""Surface switch without a prompt rebuild (#104414). A surface switch (desktop <-> TUI, a session resumed under a different host) changes only which interface renders the reply, but the surface guidance and the ``Platform:`` trailer are embedded in the persisted system prompt. Rebuilding for it diverged the prompt within its first blocks, so the ENTIRE request behind it re-prefilled — a 220K-token session came back at a 1% cache hit. The stored bytes are therefore kept and the CURRENT surface's guidance is delivered on the per-turn user-message channel instead: that lands after the cached prefix and is stamped into the byte-stable ``api_content`` sidecar so later turns replay it unchanged. The prompt itself converges at the next rebuild boundary (compaction).
