fix(session): address ultrareview findings on shared-workstream branch

Cloud multi-agent review of the three follow-up commits surfaced 15
verified defects; this addresses them.

Security / correctness:
- output_guard was blind to the new sender-label trust marker: add
  fence.SENDER_LABEL_TAG to the forgery/leak detector and thread a
  second trusted nonce (trusted_sender_label_nonce) through
  evaluate_output/_check_marker_forgery so a forged or leaked
  sender-label block in tool output is flagged like an operator marker.
- Attachment-derived text (PDF extraction, audio transcript, perception
  output) bypassed sender-label neutralization because it materializes
  after _inject_sender_labels runs; neutralize it at each fallback site.
- _recompute_shared_state now runs on every compose (moved out of the
  non-creative branch) so a creative-mode resume can't leave shared
  state stale.
- /new and rewind/retry now reset shared state (were leaking the prior
  conversation's participant set / keeping a workstream latched 'shared'
  after its only second-participant evidence was deleted).
- Non-fork resume and /new remint both trust nonces; carrying a nonce
  across a workstream switch would let a token leaked in one forge a
  marker in another.
- _senders_dirty is only cleared once the persisted-sender read has
  actually landed, so a transient storage error retries within the turn.
- ws_id snapshot guard in _recompute_shared_state discards a result if
  resume() swapped workstreams mid-scan (MCP-callback race).
- recall/history search is scoped to the acting sender's visibility;
  the shared-workstream declaration now names that exception so the
  model doesn't read a filtered 'no results' as 'no record exists'.

Cleanup:
- fork skips the redundant persisted-sender read (its rows were just
  bulk-written); _maybe_note_new_participant goes through the single
  recompute entrypoint; senders_from_user_meta reuses _source_meta_from_json.
- fence.wrap docstring names the sender-label caller as a third
  untrusted-host boundary.

Tests: end-to-end compaction-narrowed resume recovery, hostile
display-name fence break-out, sender-label output-guard leak/forgery,
and the two-nonce independence.

implementation kept in sync here. Anything unparsable, non-dict, or
sender-less is skipped so one stray blob cannot poison the participant set.
Sorted for deterministic output across backends.
