fix(agent): preserve Starter values beside query inputs - #19420

Limit scalar-query initialization to one declared Starter field.
This loop runs for every missing field. If Begin declares name and language, {"query":"Alice"} initializes and persists both fields as "Alice". The scalar-query path is documented as a single-Starter path. Reuse cached values for multi-field components, but require map-shaped input to initialize uncached fields.

Thanks for the fix — the intent is correct and the added tests cover the key scenarios (named input alongside query, and preserving a Starter value across conversational turns).
One thing I'd like addressed before merge:
- Direct
state.Globalsaccess bypasses the lock-safe accessors.CanvasStatedocumentssync.RWMutexas guarding every map and providesSetGlobal/GetGlobalas the single lock-safe mutation point (which also nil-initializesGlobals). The new code reads/writesstate.Globals["begin@"+field]directly inBegin.Invoke. Please usestate.SetGlobal("begin@"+field, value)/state.GetGlobal("begin@"+field)for both consistency and nil-safety — a state reconstructed viaUnmarshalJSONwith empty globals can leaveGlobalsnil, and direct map writes on a nil map would panic.
Minor/optional:
agentRunQueryreturnsvalues["query"], which isnilwhenuserInputis a map without a"query"key (the multi-input fallback path viaextractUserInputFromFormInputs). That then setsstate.Sys["query"] = nil. Consider defaulting to""for that case.

113-113: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winInitialize only one Starter field from a scalar query.
If Begin declares multiple fields, this loop stores the same scalar query in every uncached
begin@<field>value. For example,{"query":"Alice"}initializes bothnameandlanguage. Stop scalar initialization after the single declared Starter field, and require map-shaped input for additional fields. This is the same unresolved issue from the previous review.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Summary
The fix preserves custom Starter values separately from sys.query. Both values now reach downstream Agent components correctly.
