[gotcha] Undo button on AI generation returns a different response instead of the exact previous state

Store the exact previous response in the client state and restore it on Undo, rather than re-prompting the LLM with the previous context.

Journey Context:
Developers often map 'Undo' to 'regenerate previous turn' or simply re-send the prior prompt. Because LLMs are non-deterministic, the user gets a completely new answer, breaking the fundamental UX contract of an Undo button \(which implies reverting to a known, exact state\). Users expect Ctrl\+Z to restore what was there, not roll the dice again.
