S03 turned follow-up drafting into a real thread-aware workspace flow.

Delivered:
- stronger backend follow-up draft context in `JobTrackerApi/Controllers/JobApplicationsController.cs`
  - imported correspondence, recruiter details, saved package material, and saved application-answer content now inform the follow-up draft
  - follow-up responses expose context summary, context signals, thread subject, and last-correspondence metadata for the workspace
  - reply-style subjects now reuse the active thread where available
- focused backend proof in `JobTrackerApi.Tests/JobApplicationsFollowUpDraftTests.cs`
  - verifies the follow-up draft reacts to imported thread and saved package state
- stronger Follow-up tab in `job-tracker-ui/src/components/JobDetailsDialog.tsx`
  - surfaces why the draft exists now
  - shows thread/package grounding explicitly
  - keeps manual-send behavior clear and editable
- focused frontend proof in `job-tracker-ui/src/job-details-followup-drafts.test.tsx`
  - verifies thread grounding, editable draft state, and manual send/log behavior
- runtime browser proof
  - built branch UI served locally on `localhost:3001`
  - logged into the local app, opened the seeded job, verified the Follow-up tab showed thread/package grounding, sent a manual follow-up, and confirmed it logged back into Correspondence

Net effect:
- imported correspondence and saved package material now feed useful follow-up drafting instead of sitting in separate surfaces
- the manual-send boundary remains intact
- the job workspace can now carry the user from imported thread context to reviewed draft to logged outbound follow-up
