fix(frontend): replace invalid "context" select field with "metadata" in threads.search (#2053)

* fix(frontend): replace invalid "context" select field with "metadata" in threads.search

The LangGraph API server does not support "context" as a select field for
threads/search, causing a 422 Unprocessable Entity error introduced by
commit 60e0abf (#1771).

- Replace "context" with "metadata" in the default select list
- Persist agent_name into thread metadata on creation so search results
  carry the agent identity
- Update pathOfThread() to fall back to metadata.agent_name when
  context is unavailable from search results
- Add regression tests for metadata-based agent routing

Fixes #2037

Made-with: Cursor

* fix: apply Copilot suggestions

* style: fix the lint error
