Transcript appends skip their pre-flight check

Transcript appends skip a lookup and let storage enforce the check, saving a round trip each time.

What

Appending to a session transcript no longer looks the object up first to confirm it exists and is non-empty. The append itself now carries precondition: { type: "ifExists", nonEmpty: !0 } and lets the storage backend enforce both, saving one storage round trip per append on the v5 backend.

Evidence

precondition: { type: "ifExists", nonEmpty: !0 }

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
