arminanton e2fa509bf3 fix(review): isolate the background-review fork from the canonical session
The forked skill/memory review agent shares the parent's session_id for
prompt-cache warmth. Without isolation it wrote its harness turn ('Review the
conversation above and update the skill library…') plus its curator-mode reply
straight into the user's REAL session in state.db; the next live turn re-read
that injected user message as a standing instruction and the agent 'became' the
curator, refusing the actual task.

Root fix: a _persist_disabled flag on the fork that hard-stops every DB write
and lazy-open path (_flush_messages_to_session_db, _ensure_db_session,
_get_session_db_for_recall) — the review writes only to the skill/memory stores
via its tools. Defense-in-depth: _strip_background_review_harness drops any
stray harness message (and the assistant reply that followed) at load time in
get_messages_as_conversation, so an already-polluted session resumes clean.

Salvaged from #50296.
