Subject: [PATCH] refactor(client): trust narrowed surface event markers

The in-operator narrows SessionEvent to events whose surfaceOp is required. Remove redundant undefined checks from both target Definitions; retain append-versus-replacement discrimination and shared prompt interpretation. This deletes dead conditions reported by the full type-aware CI lint gate without adding fallback behavior.

Validation: both Chat and Trajectory definition regression suites pass with the simplified predicates.
