Two additions to the compaction summary prompt:
1. Error specificity: the "errors encountered" bullet now instructs the
model to keep error notes specific (name the file, the error, the
fix) and not generalize from a specific failure to a blanket
tool-avoidance rule. This addresses the doctrine crystallization
pattern where a single tool failure gets promoted to a standing
"avoid tool X" rule that persists across compactions and model swaps.
2. Reproducibility: a new closing sentence instructs the model to
reference reproducible content by path, command, or URL rather than
inlining it. Content without a stable reproducer is still preserved
inline with a brief summary. This targets summary bloat from
inlined code blocks (worst case: 34k chars, 76 code blocks
reproducing repo content verbatim).

We had a bug where computer use base64-encoded screenshots would not be
interpreted as screenshots anymore once saved to the db, loaded back
into memory, and sent to Anthropic. Instead, they would be interpreted
as regular text. Once a computer use agent made enough screenshots and
stopped, and you tried sending it another message, you'd get an out of
context error:

This PR fixes that.
- Moves `coderd/chatd/`, `coderd/gitsync/`, `enterprise/coderd/chatd/`
under `x/` parent directories to signal instability
- Adds `Experimental:` glue code comments in `coderd/coderd.go`
