[FEATURE]: Add seconds to message timestamp display

I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

Currently, message timestamps in the chat interface only display date and time in a simplified format (e.g., \2026-04-01 13:48), lacking second-level precision.

Current behavior:

Timestamp format: \YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm\ (e.g., \2026-04-01 13:48)

Expected behavior:

Timestamp format: \YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss\ (e.g., \2026-04-01 13:48:35)

Benefits:

Precise tracking - Users can accurately track when each message was sent, helpful for debugging, auditing, or referencing specific moments in a conversation
Better history review - When reviewing long conversation histories, second-level precision helps distinguish between messages sent close together
Consistency with developer tools - Most developer-focused tools and logs include second-level timestamps for precision

Suggested implementation:
Update the timestamp formatting in the chat message component to include seconds. Example format: \YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss\

This is a minor but useful UX improvement for users who need precise timing information in their development workflow.

This issue doesn't fully meet our contributing guidelines.
