A process running mismatched module versions — conversation_compression.py
re-imported with the post-#34351 lock code while a long-lived
hermes_state.SessionDB stays bound to the pre-#34351 class in memory — has
the try_acquire_compression_lock call site but not the method. The
AttributeError it raises is NOT a sqlite3.Error, so the method's own
fail-open guard never runs; the exception escapes to the outer agent loop,
which prints the error and retries. Compression never succeeds, the token
count never drops, and the loop re-triggers compaction forever (the
'API call #47/#48/#49 ... has no attribute try_acquire_compression_lock'
spin a user hit after an update).

Wrap the lock acquire so any unexpected exception fails OPEN: skip locking
and proceed with compression. Skipping the lock risks a rare
concurrent-compression session fork; an infinite no-progress loop that never
compresses at all is strictly worse. The remediation hint in the log points
at the real fix (restart / hermes update to resync the stale module).

Also guards get_compression_lock_holder against the same skew.

Adds a regression test simulating the version skew (real SessionDB wrapped
so only the lock methods raise AttributeError) — asserts _compress_context
proceeds and rotates instead of raising.

* fix(compression): prevent session-id fork from concurrent compressions

When two AIAgent instances share the same session_id (most commonly the
parent-turn agent and its background-review fork, which inherits
session_id verbatim via background_review.py L451), both can call
compress_context() on overlapping snapshots of the same conversation.
Each ends the parent and creates its own NEW child session in state.db,
both parented to the same old id. The gateway SessionEntry only catches
one rotation; the other becomes an orphan that silently accumulates
writes — Damien's incident shape (parent 20260527_234659_e65f0e → two
children, only one visible).

Adds a state.db-backed per-session compression lock. Acquired before
the rotation in conversation_compression.compress_context(); on
failure, the caller returns messages unchanged so the auto-compress
retry loop stops cleanly. TTL (5min default) reclaims locks abandoned
by crashed compressors. Lock holder identity (pid:tid:agent:nonce) is
preserved for diagnostics via get_compression_lock_holder().

Schema bumped 13 -> 14 to track the new compression_locks table.
Reconciled additively via the existing declarative-column pattern;
no data migration needed for existing DBs.

Regression test reproduces Damien's shape: two threads racing
_compress_context on a shared parent_sid. Without the lock the test
deterministically produces 2 child sessions; with the lock, exactly 1.

Covers all six compression entry points (preflight in conversation_loop,
mid-turn fallback, hygiene compression in gateway, /compact, CLI
/compress, TUI /compress). ACP /compress was already protected by
nulling out _session_db before its compress call.
