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.
