Administrator 3c2d373a5c fix(agent): resolve race conditions and resource leaks in SubTurn
Critical fixes (5):
- Fix turnState hierarchy corruption in nested SubTurns by checking context
  before creating new root turnState in runAgentLoop
- Fix deadlock risk in deliverSubTurnResult by separating lock and channel ops
- Fix session rollback race in HardAbort by calling Finish() before rollback
- Fix resource leak by closing pendingResults channel in Finish() with recovery
- Add thread-safety docs for childTurnIDs and isFinished fields

Medium priority fixes (5):
- Move globalTurnCounter to AgentLoop.subTurnCounter to prevent ID conflicts
- Improve semaphore acquisition to ensure release even on early validation failures
- Document design choice: ephemeral sessions start empty for complete isolation
- Add final poll before Finish() to capture late-arriving SubTurn results
- Remove duplicate channel registration in spawnSubTurn to fix timing issues

Testing:
- Add 6 new tests covering hierarchy, deadlock, ordering, channel lifecycle,
  final poll, and semaphore behavior
- All 12 SubTurn tests passing with race detector

This resolves 10 critical and medium issues (5 race conditions, 2 resource leaks,
3 timing issues) identified in code review, bringing SubTurn to production-ready state.
