Alias Conversation instead of facading it; merge addAssistantMessage
A facade that forwards every method 1:1 is worse than paring the real type down to the intended surface and aliasing it. conversation.Conversation's interface is already the public surface we want (init/deinit, the add*/replace* builders, and messages/allocator as plain data fields), so public.zig now aliases it straight through and Agent.conversation() returns a borrowed *Conversation for in-place surgery. Drops the ConversationData alias and the pointer-wrapper. Merged addAssistantMessageWithUsage into addAssistantMessage(blocks, ?usage) on the real type (separate method deleted), so the alias has the intended one-method shape; all call sites updated. Only Agent and Stream remain true facades -- they have genuinely-internal fields plus API-shaping renames (Stream.phase->state, Phase->State) an alias can't express.

### Three buckets — wrap, handle, or alias
+> **Updated during implementation:** `Conversation` moved out of the
+> behavioral-wrap bucket. Its internal interface was pared down to exactly
+> the intended public surface (constructors + the `add*`/`replace*`
+> builders; `messages`/`allocator` are fine as public data fields for a Zig
+> object), so `public.zig` now **aliases** `conversation.Conversation`
+> straight through instead of pointer-wrapping it. `Agent.conversation()`
+> returns a borrowed `*Conversation` for in-place surgery. Only `Agent` and
+> `Stream` remain true façades — they have genuinely-internal fields
+> (`config`/`registry`/`session`/`open_stream_fn`/... and
+> `queue`/`response`/`pending_error`/...) plus API-shaping renames
+> (`Stream.phase`→`state`, `Phase`→`State`) that an alias can't express.
+> `addAssistantMessageWithUsage` was merged into
+> `addAssistantMessage(blocks, ?usage)` on the real type (the separate
+> method deleted), so the alias already has the intended one-method shape.

+| **behavioral** | wrap a **pointer** to a heap-pinned internal | `Agent`, `Stream` |
+| **behavioral (pared + aliased)** | trim the real type to the public surface, then alias | `Conversation` |
| **data (read/output)** | **alias** straight through; inspected field-by-field | `Event` (+ nested), `Usage`, `Pricing`, `SessionInfo` |
