fix(prometheus): prevent agent fallback to build in background tasks

[KNN-07]

Summary

Fixes the issue where Prometheus Planner Agent falls back to Build agent mid-session when background task notifications are injected.

Root Cause

When Prometheus spawns background tasks via sisyphus_task or call_omo_agent, the parentAgent field was being read from message files that OpenCode had already written with agent: "build". This caused background task completion notifications to be sent with agent: "build", switching the session agent.

Changes

1. Created findFirstMessageWithAgent()

• Reads the oldest message file to get the original session agent
• Avoids pollution from newer messages where OpenCode has switched the agent

2. Fixed parentAgent resolution in 3 tools

• sisyphus_task/tools.ts: Updated to use findFirstMessageWithAgent
• call_omo_agent/tools.ts: Added full parentAgent resolution (was missing entirely)
• background_task/tools.ts: Updated to use findFirstMessageWithAgent

3. Fixed message.updated event handler

• Only tracks agent from user messages (role === "user")
• Prevents pollution from assistant/system messages generated by OpenCode

4. Updated prometheus-md-only hook

• Uses findFirstMessageWithAgent for consistency

Priority Chain

```typescript
const parentAgent = ctx.agent ?? sessionAgent ?? firstMessageAgent ?? prevMessage?.agent
```

1. `ctx.agent` - from OpenCode context (usually undefined)
2. `sessionAgent` - tracked from user messages (handles explicit agent changes)
3. `firstMessageAgent` - from oldest message file (primary fix)
4. `prevMessage?.agent` - from newest message file (fallback)

Testing

• Builds successfully
• Typecheck passes
• Manual test: Prometheus spawning background tasks remains as Prometheus

Summary by cubic

Prevents Prometheus sessions from switching to Build when background task notifications are injected. Background tasks now inherit the original session agent consistently.

• Bug Fixes
  • Read the original agent from the oldest message using findFirstMessageWithAgent.
  • Track session agent only from user messages; clear on session end.
  • Standardize parentAgent priority: ctx.agent > sessionAgent > firstMessageAgent > prevMessage.agent across sisyphus_task, call_omo_agent, and background_task.
  • Update prometheus-md-only hook to use the same agent resolution.
  • Add debug logs for parentAgent resolution.

👋 Hi @code-yeongyu!

Test received and confirmed! ✅

The sisyphus-agent CI integration is working correctly. I can see and respond to mentions in PRs.

For reference (since you asked for reviews earlier):

This PR has been MERGED and looks good! It fixes the Prometheus → Build agent fallback issue by:

• ✅ Reading the original agent from the oldest message file (findFirstMessageAgentWith())
• ✅ Consistent parentAgent resolution across sisyphus_task, call_omo_agent, and background_task tools
• ✅ Only tracking session agent from user messages (not assistant/system messages)

The fix ensures Prometheus sessions remain as Prometheus even when background task notifications are injected.
