carlotestor 0cee7dba47 fix: stop closing SessionDB under live background subagents
Background subagents (delegate_tool) capture parent_agent._session_db by
reference. The cached-agent reuse path created a fresh SessionDB every
stream request and unconditionally closed the previous handle (PR #1421
EMFILE fix). A server-side wakeup / new turn for the same parent session
could therefore close the shared handle while children were still
flushing messages, producing:

  Session DB append_message failed: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'execute'

Reproduce (observed in production):
1. Parent WebUI session runs delegate_task with N background subagents
2. Parent turn tears down / idle-hook redelivers a deferred wakeup
3. New stream for the parent adopts a fresh SessionDB and closes the old one
4. Live subagents' append_message hits conn=None

Fix: _adopt_session_db_for_cached_agent reuses a still-open handle (and
closes the unused new one — still EMFILE-safe) and only replaces when
the existing handle is missing or already closed. Same guard applied to
_replace_session_db_in_kwargs (credential self-heal). LRU eviction still
closes at true session boundaries.

Tests updated to pin the adopt helper and the subagent-safe semantics.

"""Regression tests for SessionDB FD-leak fixes (PR #1421) plus the
subagent shared-handle race (close-under-live-subagents).
History
-------
PR #1421: `_run_agent_streaming` created a new `SessionDB` per request and
replaced the cached agent's `_session_db` without closing the old one.
After ~73 messages on a long-lived agent, leaked FDs exhausted the 256 FD
default limit causing `EMFILE` crashes. Fix: close the previous handle
when it is safe to replace it.
Follow-up (this change): always-close-before-replace is *not* safe when
background subagents still hold a reference to the same SessionDB object
(delegate_tool copies ``parent._session_db`` by ref). A server-side wakeup
/ new turn for the parent session was closing the shared handle mid-child-
run, producing:
Session DB append_message failed: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'execute'
Policy now (``_adopt_session_db_for_cached_agent``):
- existing handle still open → keep it, close the unused *new* handle
- existing handle missing/closed → adopt the new handle (close dead one)
