Eric Allam 25254d0201 fix(sdk): make inferred chat agent types portable for declaration emit (#4218)
## Summary

Exporting a `chat.agent` from a project with `declaration: true` failed
with TS2742: the inferred type of the agent references
`ChatTaskWirePayload`, which was declared in an internal module not
reachable through the package exports map, so tsc could only name it via
a file path into `node_modules` and refused to emit. Consumers had to
hand-mirror the wire type and annotate their export.

## Fix

`ChatTaskWirePayload` and `ChatInputChunk` are now declared in
`@trigger.dev/sdk/chat` (a public subpath) and re-exported type-only
from the internal shared module, so every internal import is unchanged
and the browser/server module split is untouched. Declaration emit for
an inferred agent type now produces a portable specifier:

```ts
export declare const chatAgent: Task<"chat-agent", import("@trigger.dev/sdk/chat").ChatTaskWirePayload<MyUIMessage, MyClientData>, unknown>;
```

As a side effect the wire types are now directly importable, which is
what affected users were reconstructing by hand.

## Verification

Reproduced against the built 4.5.2-equivalent package: a consumer
fixture with declaration emit produced `import("<file
path>/ai-shared.js")` in its declaration (the TS2742 trigger); after the
fix the same fixture emits the public specifier with zero diagnostics. A
regression test now builds that consumer simulation in a temp directory
on every test run: it copies the built package into a fake node_modules
(copied, not symlinked, because tsc only applies exports-map naming to
real node_modules paths), compiles the fixture with the TypeScript API,
and asserts no errors, no relative-path imports, and no internal module
references in the emit.
