fix(#3994): scope happy-path guard to read_only flag; complete #1436 mock stub

Refined the Codex-CORE fix: the happy-path (already-stored session) guard rejects
only an explicit read_only flag — a stored messaging session already owns its
sidecar, so the messaging-fork risk is specific to the materialize FALLBACK
(which creates a sidecar) where the _is_messaging_session_record check stays.
Also completed test_issue1436's _stub_session MagicMock (read_only=False,
_loaded_metadata_only=False) — bare MagicMock auto-attrs were truthy, tripping
the new read-only guard + _ensure_full_session_before_mutation reload.
