CLI: Persist interactive input history

[myzie]

Summary

• persist submitted interactive prompts in ~/.dive/history.json
• load history across CLI sessions and retain the newest 1,000 entries
• use private, atomic JSON writes and show non-fatal load/save errors

Testing

• MODEL_API_KEY= META_API_KEY= go test ./... (from experimental/cmd/dive)
• go build . (from experimental/cmd/dive)

The environment variables are cleared for the test command to avoid an existing default-model test sensitivity.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Interactive mode now remembers submitted input between sessions.
  • Input history is stored locally and supports navigating previously entered commands.
  • History is limited to the 1,000 most recent entries.
  • Invalid saved history can be replaced with new input history.

• Bug Fixes

  • History loading and saving issues now appear as warnings or errors without preventing interactive startup.

Changes

Persistent input history

Layer / File(s)	Summary
History storage and persistence experimental/cmd/dive/history.go, experimental/cmd/dive/history_test.go	The input history store uses ~/.dive/history.json, loads and saves JSON, retains the newest 1,000 entries, handles missing or invalid files, and writes through temporary files with atomic replacement.
Application history recording experimental/cmd/dive/app.go, experimental/cmd/dive/history_test.go	App records submitted input through recordInputHistory, persists configured history, flashes save errors, and preserves history across app instances.
Interactive startup wiring experimental/cmd/dive/main.go	Interactive startup creates and loads the default store, reports warnings without aborting, and assigns the store and successfully loaded history to App.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9f639

Persistent prompt history will stop updating after an existing history file cannot be loaded, so users cannot recover from a malformed history file through normal use. This should be fixed before merge.

In `@experimental/cmd/dive/main.go`:
- Around line 444-445: Update the history initialization flow around
defaultInputHistoryStore and Load so app.historyStore is assigned whenever the
store is created, including when Load returns an error; only leave app.history
unchanged on load failure so recordInputHistory can continue saving later
prompts.
