## Message

```
ai: Preserve `draft_prompt` when creating a new agent threads (#53250)

- added a shared helper `take_active_draft_initial_content` to resolve
initial content
- `draft_prompt` is copied over to a new thread and is persisted in old
thread with this behavior

- [ ] Tests cover the new/changed behavior
- [ ] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable

Closes #38028 

Release Notes:

- persist draft messages in ai thread when a new thread is created so we
dont use any messages or draft prompts mistakenly

Question: 
need some guidance on how to persist a thread when the `draft_prompt` is
present but the message is unsent because currently having a draft
prompt in the agent input box and thenmaking a new agent thread copies
the prompt over to the new thread(changes from this pr) but on going
back to the old thread new thread is destroyed
```
