Studio: harden Deep Research query redaction and research autosave

- research_runs: extend the opaque-token allowlist so unlabeled Hugging
  Face (hf_) and GitLab (glpat-) tokens are redacted before a query can
  reach web search, without over-redacting public model or version ids.
- runtime-provider: for a server-managed research message, echo the
  backend-stored metadata verbatim on autosave. Merging the client
  metadata re-added client-only fields the server never persisted, so the
  server-side guard saw a diff and rejected every streamed or snapshot
  update with 409.
