fix(safety): crisis detection — 4 targeted fixes

- soul.el: fix state key bug in layered_cycle (conversation_history -> conv_history)
- safety.el: add indirect crisis location patterns to soft_bell phrase list
- soul.el: wire safety_augment_system into layered_cycle for soft_bell turns
- chat.el: load cross-session affective context at session start when distress signals found within 72h
