Peter Lindsey f5931f5516 fix(agents): carry current-turn inbound metadata in a tail runtime-context message for byte-stable prompt caching
The active user turn was decorated at request-build time with an inbound
metadata block (Conversation info / reply-target / sender / forwarded /
chat-history), but the session store persists the bare text and the LLM boundary
strips that block from historical replay. So a user message's serialized bytes
changed retroactively — decorated as the active turn, bare as history — on every
turn, invalidating any prefix/exact-match provider prompt cache from that point
onward, every turn. (#90811 fixed the timestamp half of this same asymmetry.)

Rework of the earlier "strip the active turn" approach (which lost model-visible
context — ClawSweeper's P1) into one that keeps the context AND recovers the
cache cost:

- Route current-turn inbound metadata out of the user prompt and into the hidden
  runtime-context custom message (the mechanism from openclaw#89428), and
  relocate that carrier to the ABSOLUTE TAIL of the wire request (after the
  active user turn and any tool-call scaffolding). The user turn stays bare and
  byte-identical in both the active and historical positions; the volatile
  carrier vanishes next turn exactly where the assistant reply begins anyway, so
  the request is an append-only prefix-extension through the active user turn.
- A durable marker (UserMessage.runtimeContextCarrier, set by convertToLlm from
  the carrier's details) lets the Anthropic SDK transport, the managed Anthropic
  transport (anthropic-transport-stream / anthropic-payload-policy), and
  OpenAI-completions skip the carrier when selecting the deepest cache_control
  breakpoint, keeping the anchor on the last stable user turn.

Storage stays BARE (invariant preserved); runtime-only turns (room events) keep
their existing inline behavior, which is byte-stable because room-event/system
context is not strip-eligible; legacy bare-stored sessions are unchanged.

Reviewed with adversarial gpt-5.5/codex sweeps (correctness, byte-identity,
compatibility, test adequacy): found + fixed the managed Anthropic transport
cache-anchor path and added the missing OpenAI-completions/managed-transport
breakpoint tests; a theoretical runtime-only mutation was verified unreachable
and pinned with a test. Final sweep clean.
