fix(agent): wrap session_search results as untrusted content
session_search replays raw message content from past sessions verbatim, with no scan and no untrusted-content wrapping. A message that carries an injection payload -- a poisoned web page quoted earlier, a pasted phishing email, a Brainworm-style payload from any prior turn -- gets served back into the model's context as plain data on a later query, unmarked. Every other tool that returns attacker-controllable content (web_extract, web_search, browser_*, mcp_*) already gets wrapped in <untrusted_tool_result> delimiters via make_tool_result_message(), telling the model to treat the content as data, not instructions. session_search was simply missing from that list. Add it.
