Subject: [PATCH] fix: persist filter outlet() changes to structured message
 output (#27414)

When a filter's outlet() modified the structured assistant output in place, the change was shown immediately but lost after reload. outlet_filter_handler built its outlet payload with a shallow reference to the message's output list from messages_map, so the filter mutated the stored baseline itself and the subsequent output comparison compared the object against itself, never detecting a change and never persisting it. The same aliasing corrupted originalContent for messages whose text lives only in output. Deepcopy the output when building the outlet payload so messages_map stays a pristine pre-filter baseline and the existing change detection persists outlet-modified output through the existing upsert path. Fixes #27017.
