Owner

Anima work item 019f0918-ad42-7e21-b51b-7d1e4adafbea.

What to build

Ensure that an implementing agent session stays live (or is transparently re-attachable) for the entire lifetime of an in-flight Work Item. A cold session on an in-flight WI is a bug, not a normal state. This covers: session keep-alive (runner heartbeat already exists; verify WI sessions aren't abandoned mid-flight), rebind window (runner reconnect within 30min reclaims sessions; verify this holds for WI-bound sessions), and explicit session close when the WI reaches done or is parked awaiting human.

Pushed context

Acceptance criteria

WI-bound sessions are not abandoned while the WI is in implementing or diff-ready
When a runner reconnects within the rebind window, WI sessions are reclaimed (not failed)
When a WI reaches done, its session is explicitly closed
When a WI is parked (needs-human), the session stays open for the human to pick up in-thread
cargo test --workspace --exclude anima-desktop --exclude anima-server passes

WIP: The ACP brief carries the description but never the work item's identity — sessions orient on whichever WI code is most salient in thread history #612
