fix(agents): close delegations a stopped run left in progress (#5507)
* fix(agents): close delegations a stopped run left in progress

Every task call is recorded in the delegation ledger as in_progress and
only moves on when its ToolMessage arrives. When the user stops a run
while a subagent is running, the task tool re-raises the cancellation
and no ToolMessage is written, so the entry stayed in_progress for the
rest of the thread and every later model call was told "already
delegated; do NOT delegate again; wait for or build on the result".

When a run starts with a new user message, mark entries that an earlier
run left in_progress and that have no ToolMessage as cancelled. Resumed
runs, which have no new user message, keep the current behaviour.

* refactor(agents): share the run-opening boundary between capture and closure

Also pin that in_progress entries without a run_id are never closed.

* test(agents): clarify legacy delegation reply handling

"""Durable-context middleware: inject summary, delegation ledger, and skills.
Capture enumerates task delegations and loaded skill files into checkpointed
state channels. Injection renders static authority rules as a SystemMessage and
renders untrusted channel values (`summary_text`, `delegations`,
`skill_context`) as one hidden <durable_context_data> HumanMessage, never
written back to state.
