harshitAgr eddbf291a4 fix(openviking): close remaining session-boundary races on switch
Three follow-ups from review on #28296:

1. Sync worker outliving the bounded join. Each sync_turn POST has
   _TIMEOUT=30s and there are two per turn, but on_session_end and
   on_session_switch only join for 10s. If the worker is still alive
   after the join, committing the old session orphans the worker's
   late writes past the commit boundary — they land in an already-
   committed session and never get extracted. Both hooks now re-check
   is_alive() after the join and skip the commit when the worker
   hasn't drained.

2. on_memory_write late session_id capture. Same shape as the
   pre-fix sync_turn: f-string for the post path read self._session_id
   inside the worker, so a switch between thread spawn and post call
   landed the memory note in the new session. Snapshot sid at call
   time, same pattern as sync_turn.

3. Stale prefetch repopulating the new session. The pre-switch
   drain+clear only protects against workers that finish before the
   join completes; one finishing after the clear would write its
   result into the new generation's slot. Added a monotonic
   _prefetch_generation; workers capture it at spawn and refuse to
   write if it has advanced.

Tests: existing in-flight-sync test updated to drain (it tested the
join-before-commit happy path); four new tests cover hung-writer skip
on end + switch, on_memory_write sid capture, and prefetch generation
gating. 177/177 memory tests pass.
