Defer automatic chat naming until after responses
Run the Utility Model naming task from monologue_end so it cannot delay the Main Model's first token. Keep the existing background task, naming safeguards, and configuration behavior unchanged.

- Automatic naming reads scoped plugin config through the active chat agent.

+- Automatic naming runs after the monologue completes, so it cannot delay the Main Model.

- Utility Model input contains the current name and user messages only; assistant work and tool results are excluded.
21
- The complete naming prompt must remain within 70% of the effective Utility Model context window, preserving the newest user context when trimming is required.
22
- `once` names only unnamed user chats from their first user message; `always` considers the latest user message plus recent user context.
