zhiheng.liu 7cb06e3bb3 refactor(memory): drop on_session_reset — commit-only is enough
OV transparently handles message history across /new and /compress: old
messages stay in the same session and extraction is idempotent, so there's
no need to rebind providers to a new session_id. The only thing the
session boundary actually needs is to trigger extraction.

- MemoryProvider / MemoryManager: remove on_session_reset hook
- OpenViking: remove on_session_reset override (nothing to do)
- AIAgent: replace rotate_memory_session with commit_memory_session
  (just calls on_session_end, no rebind)
- cli.py / run_agent.py: single commit_memory_session call at the
  session boundary before session_id rotates
- tests: replace on_session_reset coverage with routing tests for
  MemoryManager.on_session_end
