Fetch a restore's history in one request, and let RUST_LOG through

Now that a scroll anchor is a seq, the restore knows exactly how far back
it has to reach, so it asks for that span in one request instead of
walking there a page at a time. ai-app-2 suggested it; the arithmetic is
theirs. `read_window` counts lines and a transcript numbers them one per
seq, so the distance to the anchor is the number of events to ask for --
and were seqs ever sparse, that difference is larger than the count,
which overshoots into older history rather than stopping short.

Capped at [RESTORE_PAGE_MAX], and the loop already there is what makes
the cap safe: a span past it comes back in several requests rather than
one, which is what every restore did until now. The bytes are the same
either way -- every row between the anchor and the newest end has to be
loaded for the list to be able to count to it -- so this only trades
round trips against response size.

Measured on a 16,133-event session, restoring to seq 2000 (14,133 events
back, the extreme case): **19 requests before, 5 after.** The realistic
case, a couple of thousand events back, is 4 before and 2 after. At
`--delay 150` the deep one puts the row on screen at 5.7s and the
moderate one at 2.5s, and in both the row does not move once it lands.

Also: `RUST_LOG` did nothing. `with_env_filter("info")` is a fixed
directive that never reads the environment, so the per-request page
diagnostics AGENTS.md tells you to turn on with `RUST_LOG=ai_server=debug`
printed nothing at all -- which reads as the code you are instrumenting
being wrong rather than as the switch being disconnected. It is a
fallback now, so the default is still `info`. Those diagnostics are what
the request counts above were measured with.
