Artifact comment auto-reply logic reworked with additional checks including a 'fork' gate

What

The logic that decides whether Claude automatically replies to a new comment on an artifact has been reorganized into new helper functions. It now runs several additional checks before deciding to auto-reply, including, in some cases, an extra asynchronous check tied to forking. If that check fails, Claude Code logs a fork_gate_error telemetry event instead of replying.

Why

This adds more conditions that must pass before Claude auto-replies to an artifact comment, likely to avoid auto-replying in situations (such as certain forked artifact states) where it shouldn't.
