fix(agent-loop): compose the session prefix before pre-step; hand it to the pressure gate

ds-review-bot critical (follow-up): on the first step of a resumed or
seeded/forked instance, auto-compaction ran before runStep composed
this instance's prefix, so the gate read the PREVIOUS instance's logged
prefix from the header fold — a contributor that grew across
resume/fork (skills added, AGENTS.md grown: exactly the
environment-dependent case) could under-gate and ship an over-window
first request.

The loop now composes agent/session-prefix before the instance's first
agent/pre-step (still once per instance; runStep just reads the cache),
and agent/pre-step carries the composed prefix to its listeners.
CompactService.compactIfNeeded gains the sessionPrefix parameter;
BasicCompactService.estimatePressure gates on the handed value — the
header-fold read is gone, so the estimate is exact at every step
including a resumed/forked instance's first. Composition moving before
the boundary snapshot also means a composing listener's session append
now joins the CURRENT request (documented on the seam).

New coverage: composition precedes pre-step and the seam receives the
composed prefix; cancel and disposal landing inside the composition
window drop the step cleanly; the compact gate test hands the prefix
directly.

- `agent/session-start` (emit) — fired once before the first turn; a listener seeds context via `agent.inject()` (it cannot veto startup).
- `agent/prompt-submit` — decide what happens to one drained queued message before it becomes a `user/message`: `PromptDecision` = `allow` (optionally rewriting the prompt `content` or attaching `additionalContext`) or `block` (drop it; a batch whose every prompt is blocked opens a zero-step turn that ends `rejected`). Maps onto Claude Code's `UserPromptSubmit`.
- `agent/pre-step` (serial) — mutate the session surface before the step opens and history is derived (compaction). Fires after `turn/start` and before `step/start`, so a listener's appended events land outside the step.
- `agent/pre-step` (serial) — mutate the session surface before the step opens and history is derived (compaction). Fires after `turn/start` and before `step/start`, so a listener's appended events land outside the step; carries the assembled system prompt and the instance's composed session prefix so a token-pressure gate counts everything the request will carry.
- `agent/request` — shape the call config before the model call: a frozen `LlmCallConfig` seed in, a replacement out (model switching, sampling overrides). Content is not shapeable here — every request is a pure function of the session log ([reconstructability RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-05-reconstructable-requests.md)); the loop logs whatever config the request actually uses as a `request/header*` event
- `agent/session-prefix` — compose the session prefix: request-only messages placed in front of the ENTIRE derived history on every request. Fired ONCE per loop instance, lazily on its first request; the composed result is deep-frozen, recorded as `EpochHeader.messagePrefix` on the anchoring `request/header` snapshot, and reused verbatim afterwards — the prefix cannot change mid-session, so the provider prefix cache holds by construction (resume = a new instance = a recompose, attributably anchored by its `'resume'` snapshot). The home for session-stable openers that must not become durable history (a skills catalog, an AGENTS.md digest); `deriveMessages()` never returns it. Content that CHANGES mid-session belongs in the append-only history channels instead — `agent.inject()`, `tools/post-execute` `additionalContext`, prompt-submit `additionalContext` — each a durable `context/message` paid once and prefix-cached thereafter
