fix(session): fence sender labels; move shared-ws behavior to a declaration

sec-1: the [message from <sender>] label was plain text, so a participant
could type a look-alike in their own message and impersonate another
sender to the model. Labels are now wrapped in a nonce-delimited
[start sender-label_<nonce>] ... [end sender-label_<nonce>] fence (new
fence.SENDER_LABEL_TAG, distinct value from the operator nonce) whose
token lives in the cached system prefix; participant content is
neutralized so typed look-alikes are defanged. A new
build_shared_workstream_declaration pins the token as the sole authentic
label.

sec-2 + q-1: the CONTEXT banner no longer embeds behavioral prose. It
carries a terse owner line + shared flag; the attribution rules, the
authenticity declaration, and the (now narrowed) tool-credential claim
move into the shared-workstream declaration. The credential claim is
corrected: per-participant credentials apply to MCP (OAuth) tools only;
built-in tools and skills run under the server/owner identity.

perf-3: _inject_sender_labels resolves each distinct sender's display
name once per call instead of once per turn, capping blocking storage
lookups at one per sender on the uncached error path.

+
+    * **Attribution** — each user turn is prefixed with an authenticated

+      This is the
+      confused-deputy defence: without it a participant could type another
+      sender's label to impersonate them.
+    * **Tool credentials** — only MCP (OAuth) tools run under the initiating
+      participant's credentials; built-in tools and skills run under the
+      server/owner identity regardless of sender.  Stating this narrowly keeps
+      the model from assuming a built-in tool's blast radius is participant-
