fix(agent-loop): discard an interrupted prefix composition instead of caching it

A cancel/dispose landing inside the first agent/session-prefix waterfall
used to commit the listener chain's return value to the instance cache
before the interruption check dropped the turn; an abort-aware listener's
degraded fallback would then ship on every later request of the instance.
The commit now happens only after the composition survives the
interruption check — the cache only ever holds a fully composed prefix,
and the next turn recomposes under a live signal.

### `agent/session-prefix` — waterfall
Waterfall: compose the SESSION PREFIX — request-only messages placed in front of the ENTIRE derived history (directly after the provider's system slot) on every request this loop instance sends. Fired ONCE per loop instance, lazily before its first step's agent/pre-step seam — BEFORE the pre-step so a token-pressure gate (compaction) counts the prefix this instance will actually send, never a previous instance's logged one. The composed result is deep-frozen, recorded as `EpochHeader.messagePrefix` on the instance's anchoring `'initial'`/`'resume'` header snapshot, and reused verbatim for every subsequent request — never recomputed mid-session, so the provider prefix cache holds by construction (a process restart or `ctx.agents.resume()` is a new instance: it recomposes, and any drift lands attributably on the `'resume'` snapshot). Composition runs outside the step, before the boundary snapshot: a composing listener's session append joins the CURRENT request's derived history.

Composition runs outside the step, before the boundary snapshot: a composing listener's session append joins the CURRENT request's derived history. A composition interrupted by a cancel/dispose landing inside the waterfall is discarded — never cached, logged, or sent — and the next turn recomposes under a live signal, so an abort-aware listener's degraded fallback cannot leak into later requests.
This is the home for session-stable openers the model must always see but that must NOT become durable history — a skills catalog, an AGENTS.md digest, a workspace baseline: `Session.deriveMessages()` never returns the prefix, and the header events are its only durable record, so the request stays reconstructable from the log. Content that CHANGES mid-session belongs in the append-only history channels instead — `agent.inject()`, a `tools/post-execute` decision's `additionalContext`, prompt-submit `additionalContext` — each a durable `context/message` paid once and prefix-cached thereafter.
