Speaker-label grouping in transcripts now walks back over several consecutive labelled replies, not just one

What

When Claude Code figures out where a block of speaker-labelled messages begins in the transcript, it now keeps stepping backward through as many consecutive 'labelled reply' messages as there are, using a new helper. Before, it would only ever step back a single position.

Why

This fixes grouping so that a run of several consecutive labelled replies is treated as one connected block instead of only the last two being linked, giving more accurate speaker-label boundaries in longer transcripts.
