fix: share the control-frame opener list and cover [System:/[IMPORTANT:/[PRIOR CONTEXT/[CONTEXT SUMMARY]

Review finding on #112260: the hosted-room member relabel regex was a third
hand-copied opener list that missed the frames context_compressor and
title_generator already treat as harness input, so a member reply starting
with "[System: ..." or "[IMPORTANT: 2 background processes ..." reached peers
in its exact trusted shape. agent.prompt_builder.CONTROL_FRAME_OPENERS is now
the single source; the gateway regex is built from it and the desktop TS
literal mirrors it byte-for-byte.
