Subject: Refine chat controls and add explicit owner recovery reset

Simplify the ASCII interface, expose owner setup, and load any selected number of messages using bounded history batches. Add backend-only owner reset with a matching public fingerprint and stopped-service guards, and document the loss of old history and key continuity.
