fix: register conversation ID with workspace for completion callback

[jpshackelford]

Summary

Fixes #113 - UI shows "Conversation not created" when conversations actually started successfully.

Problem

The preset scripts (sdk_main.py for both prompt and plugin presets) create conversations but never call workspace.register_conversation() to tell the workspace what conversation ID to include in the completion callback.

When the workspace context manager exits, it sends a completion callback to the automation service, but conversation_id is always None because it was never registered.

Solution

After creating the conversation, call workspace.register_conversation(str(conversation.id)) so the conversation ID is included in the callback payload.

Changes

• openhands/automation/presets/prompt/sdk_main.py: Add workspace.register_conversation() call after conversation creation
• openhands/automation/presets/plugin/sdk_main.py: Add workspace.register_conversation() call after conversation creation

Testing

New automations created after this fix will include the conversation_id in their completion callbacks, allowing the UI to link directly to the conversation.

@malhotra5 Not sure if this is the way you expected this to work. It seems a bit brittle. Another approach would be to have a separate job (similar to watchdog) that used data in the conversation tags to establish the linkage so we weren't depending on presets.

[malhotra5]

This should happen automatically inside the software agent sdk (when a workspace is passed to a conversation creation flow)

Reason is because we can't assume the user will always include this statement, it should be a default behavior

If this isn't working as of today, there is likely a regression inside the SDK
