The memory-context system adds a not-yet-active laptop path and parses a new guidance field that isn't used yet

What

  • The memory-context fetch logic, previously built only for "ccr"/cowork sessions, was rewritten to support two paths ("legs"): the existing "ccr" leg and a new "laptop" leg, currently inactive. This adds its own telemetry, org-policy handling (open/pending/denied/closed states), and etag/withdrawal handling.
  • The /memory_context response format now accepts an optional guidance string (up to 4096 characters) alongside the existing version, content, and versions fields. It's parsed out of the response but not yet stored or used anywhere.

Why These are groundwork changes: the laptop leg is currently dark (disabled) and the guidance field is parsed but discarded, so nothing changes for users yet, but the pieces are in place for memory context to eventually work on more session types and carry additional guidance.
