Allow interactive chat to recover after stage failures

The interactive bot proxy now falls back to the most recent failed stage when all stages are marked as failed, so EventSource connections can reopen without rebuilding the project.

  • The `/api/interactive/bot` handler now accepts failed workflow stages when inferring context, which lets users retry a stalled project directly from chat.
  • This prevents `Failed to open EventSource` errors that occurred when every stage had failed and no pending stages remained.
