fix: let session/delete succeed for a session without a transcript (#1351)

Found by running the ACP TCK's v2 suite against the adapter
(ACP-DELETE-201 and ACP-DELETE-203). The code is shared, so v1 clients
get the fix too.

## The bug

ACP says: "Deleting an already-deleted session, or a session that never
existed, **SHOULD** succeed silently." For a client that is neither AIR
nor a `sessionIndex` client, `session/delete` instead failed with
`-32603` "Internal error" in three cases:

- **A session this connection ran but never prompted.** Claude Code
writes the transcript at the first prompt. So the adapter closed the
live session, then the SDK delete threw "not found in any project
directory".
- **An unknown session.** The SDK delete throws the same "not found"
error.
- **An id that isn't a UUID.** The SDK delete throws "Invalid
sessionId".

## The fix

A new `deleteSessionIfStored` in `src/session-index/service.ts` handles
every other client's delete:
- An id that isn't a session id can't name a transcript, so it returns
`{}` without calling the SDK.
- The SDK's own "not found" means nothing is on disk, so that also
returns `{}`. It's recognised by the existing `isSdkNotFound`.
- Any other SDK failure, such as a permission error, still fails the
request.

The two AIR paths are unchanged, because `docs/air-extensions.md`
documents their errors: `-32002` for an unknown session on a
`sessionIndex` client, and the SDK's error for AIR without
`sessionIndex`. The doc now describes the plain client's behavior.

## Checks

- **ACP TCK v2** (`agentclientprotocol/acp-tck` at `fa00ccd`) against
this build: ACP-DELETE-201 and ACP-DELETE-203 now pass, where both
failed before. ACP-DELETE-202 is still skipped, because `session/list`
doesn't show a session that was never prompted.
- **Tests:** three new tests: a never-prompted live session, an unknown
session, and an id that isn't a UUID. Removing either rule, or
swallowing every error, fails a test. The existing delete tests now use
UUID ids, which is what real sessions have.
- **Suite:** `npm run check`, build and all 3068 tests pass, with no
golden changes.

- a `sessionIndex` client: deletes every transcript of the session (empty ones too) and every `<sessionId>/` directory, also one left without a transcript by an earlier failed delete. Anything left behind fails the request. A session that runs here is closed first. As with the CLI, the session is deleted also when another Claude Code process has it open. An unknown session is `-32002`.
- an AIR client without `sessionIndex`: archives the session instead of deleting it (the title records of [Archive](#archive)), because AIR uses delete for "Done" and can reopen the session. A session that runs here is closed first. The list hides archived sessions from such a client too: those whose custom title, as the SDK list reports it, is archived. A session without a transcript fails with the error of the SDK delete, as before.
A `sessionIndex` client sees such a session as archived (`archived: true`), as AIR's native Claude path does.
- any other client: the SDK delete, as before.
- any other client: the SDK delete. A session without a transcript (unknown, deleted before, or
never prompted) succeeds, as ACP asks.
`session/close` of a session that is not loaded returns `{}` for every client.
