fix: tighten memory and session recall guidance

Browse source 
Remove diary-style memory framing from the system prompt and memory tool
schema, explicitly steer task/session logs to session_search, and clarify
that session_search is for cross-session recall after checking the current
conversation first. Add regression tests for the updated guidance text.
