13683c0842 feat(memory): notify providers on mid-process session_id rotation (#17409)
Fixes #6672

Memory providers now receive on_session_switch() whenever AIAgent.session_id
rotates mid-process — /resume, /branch, /reset, /new, and context
compression. Before this, providers that cached per-session state in
initialize() (Hindsight's _session_id, _document_id, accumulated
_session_turns, _turn_counter) kept writing into the old session's
record after the agent had moved on.

MemoryProvider ABC
------------------
- New optional hook on_session_switch(new_session_id, *,
  parent_session_id='', reset=False, **kwargs) with no-op default for
  backward compat. reset=True signals /reset or /new — providers should
  flush accumulated per-session buffers. reset=False for /resume,
  /branch, compression where the logical conversation continues.

MemoryManager
-------------
- on_session_switch() fans the hook out to every registered provider.
  Isolated try/except per provider — one bad provider can't block others.
- Empty/None new_session_id is a no-op to avoid corrupting provider state
  during shutdown paths.

run_agent.py
------------
- _sync_external_memory_for_turn now passes session_id=self.session_id
  into sync_all() and queue_prefetch_all(). Providers with defensive
  session_id updates in sync_turn (Hindsight already had this at
  plugins/memory/hindsight/__init__.py:1199) now actually receive the
  current id.
- Compression block at ~L8884 already notified the context engine of
  the rollover; now also calls
  _memory_manager.on_session_switch(reason='compression').

cli.py
------
- new_session() fires reset=True, reason='new_session' so providers
  flush buffers.
- _handle_resume_command fires reset=False, reason='resume' with the
  previous session as parent_session_id.
- _handle_branch_command fires reset=False, reason='branch' with the
  parent session_id already captured for the DB parent link.

gateway/run.py
--------------
- _handle_resume_command now evicts the cached AIAgent, mirroring
  /branch and /reset. The next message rebuilds a fresh agent whose
  memory provider initialize() runs with the correct session_id —
  matches the pattern the gateway already uses for provider state
  cross-session transitions.

Hindsight reference implementation
----------------------------------
- plugins/memory/hindsight/__init__.py adds on_session_switch that:
  updates _session_id, mints a fresh _document_id (prevents
  vectorize-io/hindsight#1303 overwrite), and clears _session_turns /
  _turn_counter / _turn_index so in-flight batches don't flush under
  the new document id. parent_session_id only overwritten when provided
  (avoids clobbering on a bare switch).

Tests
-----
- tests/agent/test_memory_session_switch.py: new dedicated file. ABC
  default no-op, manager fan-out, failure isolation, empty-id no-op,
  session_id propagation through sync_all/queue_prefetch_all, Hindsight
  state transitions for every reset/non-reset case, parent preservation.
- tests/cli/test_branch_command.py: new test verifying /branch fires
  the hook with correct parent_session_id + reset=False + reason.
- tests/gateway/test_resume_command.py: new test verifying /resume
  evicts the cached agent.
- tests/run_agent/test_memory_sync_interrupted.py: updated existing
  assertions to account for the session_id kwarg on sync_all and
  queue_prefetch_all.

E2E verified (real imports, tmp HERMES_HOME):
- /resume: session_id updates, doc_id fresh, buffers cleared, parent set
- /branch: session_id forks, parent links to original
- /new: reset=True clears accumulated state
- compression: reason='compression' propagated, lineage preserved
- Empty id: no-op, state preserved
- Legacy provider without on_session_switch: no crash

00c3d848d8 fix(memory): skip external-provider sync on interrupted turns (#15218)
``run_conversation`` was calling ``memory_manager.sync_all(
original_user_message, final_response)`` at the end of every turn
where both args were present.  That gate didn't consider the
``interrupted`` local flag, so an external memory backend received
partial assistant output, aborted tool chains, or mid-stream resets as
durable conversational truth.  Downstream recall then treated the
not-yet-real state as if the user had seen it complete, poisoning the
trust boundary between "what the user took away from the turn" and
"what Hermes was in the middle of producing when the interrupt hit".

Extracted the inline sync block into a new private method
``AIAgent._sync_external_memory_for_turn(original_user_message,
final_response, interrupted)`` so the interrupt guard is a single
visible check at the top of the method instead of hidden in a
boolean-and at the call site.  That also gives tests a clean seam to
assert on — the pre-fix layout buried the logic inside the 3,000-line
``run_conversation`` function where no focused test could reach it.

The new method encodes three independent skip conditions:

  1. ``interrupted`` → skip entirely (the #15218 fix).  Applies even
     when ``final_response`` and ``original_user_message`` happen to
     be populated — an interrupt may have landed between a streamed
     reply and the next tool call, so the strings on disk are not
     actually the turn the user took away.
  2. No memory manager / no final_response / no user message →
     preserve existing skip behaviour (nothing new for providerless
     sessions, system-initiated refreshes, tool-only turns that never
     resolved, etc.).
  3. Sync_all / queue_prefetch_all exceptions → swallow.  External
     memory providers are strictly best-effort; a misconfigured or
     offline backend must never block the user from seeing their
     response.

The prefetch side-effect is gated on the same interrupt flag: the
user's next message is almost certainly a retry of the same intent,
and a prefetch keyed on the interrupted turn would fire against stale
context.

### Tests (16 new, all passing on py3.11 venv)

``tests/run_agent/test_memory_sync_interrupted.py`` exercises the
helper directly on a bare ``AIAgent`` (``__new__`` pattern that the
interrupt-propagation tests already use).  Coverage:

- Interrupted turn with full-looking response → no sync (the fix)
- Interrupted turn with long assistant output → no sync (the interrupt
  could have landed mid-stream; strings-on-disk lie)
- Normal completed turn → sync_all + queue_prefetch_all both called
  with the right args (regression guard for the positive path)
- No final_response / no user_message / no memory manager → existing
  pre-fix skip paths still apply
- sync_all raises → exception swallowed, prefetch still attempted
- queue_prefetch_all raises → exception swallowed after sync succeeded
- 8-case parametrised matrix across (interrupted × final_response ×
  original_user_message) asserts sync fires iff interrupted=False AND
  both strings are non-empty

Closes #15218
