a commander is a commander wherever it is opened

Fixing a regression I introduced last night. Commander rows in the Live list were changed to open in /chat
rather than navigating to Command HQ — right, and it cost the composer its commander controls, because
`isCommander` was computed from the ROUTE: `manager.context === 'command-hq'`. So the same commander,
rendered on a different screen, silently lost "exit and hand back, then re-arm" — the only fire behaviour a
watcher wants, and the one the dialog makes default inside a commander.

GET /chat/sessions/:id now reports isCommander, derived from the session's own cwd by the same
isCommandersDir already used by the sessions list and /chat/live. The answer travels with the conversation.

The composer reads one value, manager.isCommander, true when EITHER source says so — and both are needed.
The screen knows when Command HQ starts a commander, before a session or a transcript exists for any route
to report on. The session knows once it does, wherever it is opened. Screen-only was this bug; session-only
would have broken the brand-new composer, which is where the whole thing starts.

Verified on a real commander rather than by reading: 172cdd8c resolves cwd=…/commanders and
isCommander=true.

Whether this conversation is a commander, derived from ITS OWN cwd rather than from the screen asking.
The composer offers "exit and hand back, then re-arm" — the only fire behaviour a watcher wants — and
decided whether to by looking at the route it was rendered on. So the same commander, opened from
/chat instead of Command HQ, silently lost the control that is the whole point of it. A commander is a
commander wherever it is rendered, and `detail.cwd` is the transcript's own directory, so this answer
travels with the conversation.
