fix(cli): wire initialModel/initialProvider through useSocket, add error handling

- Pass initialModel/initialProvider from CLI flags into useSocket hook
- Include provider/modelId in socket message emit (restores PR #144 functionality)
- Add provider/modelId optional fields to ChatMessagePayload type
- Add .catch() to floating promises in createConversation/deleteConversation
