refactor(agent): rename agent/request-messages to agent/request-advice

tianyicui's review: the seam name did not say what the event or its
types do. 'advice' reads both ways — advisory content for the model,
and AOP before/after advice woven around a join point (here the
derived history) without modifying it — so RequestAdvice.before/after
are self-describing. Types follow: RequestAdvice / RequestAdviceContext;
the logged EpochHeader fields keep their positional names
(messagePrefix/messageSuffix).

Also sharpens the core.md wording the review flagged as ambiguous:
before-advice sits in front of the ENTIRE derived history, directly
after the system slot (the conventional home for session-stable openers
— an AGENTS.md digest, a skills catalog), after-advice follows the
history's last message. Catalogs and doc graphs regenerated.

### Request-header reconstruction (`request-header.ts`)
The `request/header` (full `EpochHeader` snapshot with a `RequestHeaderReason`) and `request/header-delta` (system line-trim / name-keyed tools delta / whole config / whole request-only message arrays) events make the request envelope logged session state, so every conversation request is a pure function of the log. The pure trio reconstructs it: `foldRequestHeader(events)` folds a log (or any prefix) into the header in force; `diffHeader(prev, next)` encodes a change (undefined when equal); `applyHeaderDelta(prev, delta)` replays one. Writer contract: every logged delta is round-trip-verified (`apply(prev, delta)` deep-equals the new header) with a `'fallback'` snapshot when the encoding cannot express the change (a pure tool reordering), so folding never needs error recovery on a well-formed log. `canonicalHeader` pins the one representation of absence (empty system/tools/messagePrefix/messageSuffix ≡ absent fields; a delta's EMPTY message array encodes the transition back to absence). `EpochHeader.messagePrefix`/`messageSuffix` are the durable record of the `agent/request-messages` waterfall's request-only contributions — the request is `messagePrefix + derived history + messageSuffix`, and `deriveMessages()` never returns them.
