ZacharyZhang-NY b50716d4e8 refactor(messaging): project inter-agent messages into pi session transcript
Inter-agent messages previously entered the recipient's context as a
separate prompt block (recentMessages), rebuilt every turn. This double-
charged tokens and kept messages outside pi's native AgentMessage stream.

Now at prepareRun: pull the recipient's unread inbox, project each
AgentMessageRecord into a pi user-role AgentMessage, persist to
SqliteSessionStore, and mark delivered. The recipient reads messages
as natural conversation turns in the transcript.

- db: listAgentInboxUnread + markAgentInboxDelivered (transactional)
- agent-runtime/inbox-projection.ts: AgentMessageRecord -> pi AgentMessage
- runtime-bridge.prepareRun: inject + deliver before loadMessages
- prompt-builder: delete recentMessages context block + buildMessagesSection
- message-normalize: drop unused normalizeMessagesForPrompt
- delete prompt-builder/attachment-resolver.ts (orphan after section removal)

Send path (api-server/routes-messages, ipc, UI) unchanged — inbox table
remains the UI source. Transactional delivery marking prevents duplicate
injection across runs. Failed append -> no mark -> retry on next run.

/**
* Message Normalization Layer
*
* Normalizes comments before they are injected into agent prompts.
* Prevents malformed, empty, or excessively long content from degrading
* model output quality. Inspired by Reference/src/utils/messages.ts.
*
* Applied at the prompt-builder boundary — the last point before content
* enters the model's context window.
*
* Inter-agent messages no longer flow through a prompt block; they are
* projected directly into the recipient's pi session transcript. See
* `agent-runtime/inbox-projection.ts`.
