feat: warm session provisioning v2 — full acceptance criteria (#327)

Marathon sessions (100+ msgs) have lower per-tool error rates (5.7%)
than mid-length sessions (9.0%). This implements warm session
provisioning addressing all four acceptance criteria:

1. What makes marathon sessions reliable?
   - SessionProfiler analyzes error rates, tool distribution,
     proficiency gain (early vs late error rate delta)

2. Pre-seed sessions with successful tool-call examples?
   - PatternExtractor mines successful tool calls from SessionDB
   - build_warm_conversation() converts to conversation_history
   - Injected via existing run_conversation() parameter

3. Does context compression preserve proficiency?
   - analyze_compression_impact() compares parent vs child session
     error rates after compression events

4. A/B testing: warm vs cold comparison
   - compare_sessions() computes error rate improvement
   - profile action analyzes individual sessions
   - compare action runs A/B between two sessions

agent/warm_session.py (678 lines):
  - SessionProfile, WarmPattern, WarmSessionTemplate dataclasses
  - profile_session() — reliability analysis
  - extract_patterns_from_session() — mines successful patterns
  - extract_from_session_db() — batch extraction from marathon sessions
  - build_warm_conversation() — conversation_history builder
  - analyze_compression_impact() — compression preservation test
  - compare_sessions() — A/B comparison
  - save/load/list templates

tools/warm_session_tool.py (275 lines):
  7 actions: build, list, load, delete, profile, compress-check, compare

25 tests added, all passing.

Closes #327

+"""Warm Session Provisioning v2 — pre-proficient agent sessions.
+
+Marathon sessions (100+ msgs) have lower per-tool error rates because
+agents accumulate successful patterns and context. This module provides
+infrastructure to capture that proficiency and pre-seed new sessions.
+
+Addresses all acceptance criteria from #327:
+1. What makes marathon sessions reliable? → pattern extraction + analysis
+2. Pre-seed with successful tool-call examples → conversation_history injection
+3. Context compression preservation → compressed_session support
+4. A/B testing → warm vs cold comparison infrastructure
+
+Architecture:
+  - SessionProfiler: analyzes session reliability metrics
+  - PatternExtractor: mines successful tool-call sequences
+  - WarmSessionTemplate: holds patterns + metadata
+  - CompressionAnalyzer: tests if compression preserves proficiency
+  - ABTester: compares warm vs cold session performance
