feat(host): export a channel as a seed and import seeds as new channels - #533

Conversation
`ace export` writes a local channel's chats as editable JSON: people's messages by author and time, and agents' turns as the pi messages their runs committed. `ace import` appends a seed through pi into a new channel, optionally moving its times to now, so demos and fixtures get real channels whose agents read the imported history as context. The gateway now refuses worker-only requests (worker, freeze, export), which it previously forwarded to channel workers for any client. Why: apps/host/src/gateway.ts | Worker requests (WORKER) never pass through the gateway; any new WorkerRequest op must be added there Why: packages/channel/src/seed.ts#function importSeed | Imports only into an empty root chat, appending through pi so ids, heads and docs stay pi's

ace export <channel> <file>andace import <file> [--project <dir>] [--name <name>] [--now]for demo and fixture channels. This is a true import, not a replay:The import appends through pi into a new channel, so the result is an ordinary channel. Its agents read the imported history as context and continue it.
--nowshifts every time so the newest message lands at import. The channel is listed only once the whole seed is in, and a failed import removes its directory.The gateway also refuses worker-only requests (
worker,freeze, and the newexport). It used to forward them to channel workers for any client, so a teammate could freeze someone else's channel.Tested end to end in a throwaway Ace home:
--now.ace watch, the app UI, the stored timestamps, the reactions and captions docs, and the second chat all check out.askin the imported channel answered from the imported history.exportorfreezeover a gateway WebSocket now gets "Unknown request", andinfostill works.Built in Ace
No. I built this with Claude Code outside Ace, at the user's request, as part of a demo-mode session. Screenshots of the test app came from Playwright.
