Fix branch summarization abort handling and tree navigation

- Check response.stopReason instead of catching errors for abort detection
- Return result object from _generateBranchSummary instead of throwing
- Fix summary attachment: attach to navigation target position, not old branch
- Support root-level summaries (parentId=null) in branchWithSummary
- Remove setTimeout hack for re-showing tree selector on abort
