Description
Currently Lightning rebuilds conversation histories from past messages. It does not use the conversation history compiled by Apollo. This means that Apollo cannot curate what is kept in the history: for example, page prefixes are now lost from the conversation history. https://github.com/OpenFn/apollo/issues/582
Consider whether conversation histories could be stored on Apollo instead, or if the latest conversation history could be stored separately in addition to conversation turns on Lightning. Note that we might add more detail to conversation histories in the future, e.g. images attached to specific turns.

Research direction
Review how Lightning currently rebuilds conversation histories and read the related Apollo issue #582 before choosing an approach. The work is complete when Apollo-curated history, including page prefixes and possible future turn details such as images, can be retained without losing conversation turns.
