fix(desktop): keep earlier HUD windows in scope for the turn 

The HUD-mode note tells the model that an unqualified "this" means the app
behind the strip. It says nothing about the app that was behind it a minute
ago, and the user drags the strip from app to app mid-thought: parked over
Spotify, "pause that and play X here" is one request spanning two apps, and
only the second half has a window under it.

Those earlier windows are already in context as read_window_below results, so
the note only has to say they still count. Without it the latest window reads
as the only one and half the request is silently dropped.

No new tool names, so the existing gating tests cover it unchanged.

The same is true one level down: the app underneath changes as the user
drags the strip around, and they carry a thought across the move ("pause
that and play X here"). Earlier windows are already in context as
read_window_below results, so the note only has to say they still count —
without that, the latest window reads as the only one and half of a
two-app request is silently dropped.
Each sentence is gated on the tool it names — naming a tool outside this
agent's schema invites a hallucinated call — and the note as a whole is
withheld without the one it rests on.
