Description

Allow experimenters to toggle "group chat on" for any stage. This should be relatively easy re: backend because chat triggers, LLM prompts, etc. are all handled separately from other stage logic. Then, "chat stage" will be more like an advanced chat option where you can set up threads and indicate "ready to move on."
We should also update the chat history to include any relevant log collections (e.g., for the negotiation game, chat should include chat messages plus trading updates).

Research direction

Start by tracing how stages configure chat toggles, how chat triggers and LLM prompts are handled, and how chat history is assembled from log collections. Done means group and private chat can be enabled in every experiment stage, while chat history includes relevant updates such as negotiation trades.
