Rewords the tip shown above the prompt box when creating a new chat within a session in the Agents window.

Before: "This is a sub-session, a new chat in the same workspace. Use it to ask questions, run tasks, or explore ideas with fresh context."

After: "Start a parallel conversation to build on all the changes made in this session."

The aria-label is also updated from "Sub-session tip" to "New chat tip" for consistency with the renamed "chats" concept.

Single-string change only; no behavioral changes.

Reword the tip shown above the prompt box when creating a new chat within a session to clearly convey it is a parallel conversation that builds on the session's changes.
