MAESTRO: fix(db): prevent FK constraint failures on worker restart

Cherry-picked source changes from PR #889 by @Et9797. Fixes #846.

Key changes:
- Add ensureMemorySessionIdRegistered() guard in SessionStore.ts
- Add ON UPDATE CASCADE migration (schema v21) for observations and session_summaries FK constraints
- Change message queue from claim-and-delete to claim-confirm pattern (PendingMessageStore.ts)
- Add spawn deduplication and unrecoverable error detection in SessionRoutes.ts and worker-service.ts
- Add forceInit flag to SDKAgent for stale session recovery

Build artifacts skipped (pre-existing dompurify dep issue). Path fixes (HealthMonitor.ts, worker-utils.ts)
already merged via PR #634.

+ * Tests for FK constraint fix (Issue #846)

+ * Problem: When worker restarts, observations fail because:
+ * 1. Session created with memory_session_id = NULL
+ * 2. SDK generates new memory_session_id
+ * 3. storeObservation() tries to INSERT with new ID
+ * 4. FK constraint fails - parent row doesn't have this ID yet
+ *
+ * Fix: ensureMemorySessionIdRegistered() updates parent table before child INSERT
