Alex Newman c27f07023c fix: Remove all session validation to prevent continuation errors after /exit
Root cause: Hooks provide session_id as the source of truth. We were adding
unnecessary validation (checking if sessions exist, checking status, etc.)
which caused 409 conflicts when continuing sessions after /exit.

Changes:
1. worker-service.ts: Removed 409 "Session already exists" check in handleInit
2. SessionStore.ts: Made createSDKSession idempotent using INSERT OR IGNORE
3. new-hook.ts: Simplified to just call createSDKSession - no findActiveSDKSession,
   no reactivateSession logic, no status management
4. save-hook.ts: Removed session validation, use fixed port instead of session.worker_port
5. summary-hook.ts: Removed session validation, use fixed port instead of session.worker_port

Philosophy: Hooks manage lifecycle, we just save data with whatever session_id
they give us. No validation, no status checks, no guessing.
