Issues addressed:
- #1 ASYMMETRIC PERSIST/LOAD: conv_history_load() now tries engram_get_node_by_label()
  first (symmetric with the label-based write), falling back to vector search only when
  label lookup returns nothing. Immune to cold/corrupt vector index.
- #2 SILENT LOAD FAILURE: all failure paths in conv_history_load() and conv_history_persist()
  now emit a println log line rather than silently returning "" or dropping writes.
- #3 NO RECOVERY PATH: documented as TODO with explanation of why a full recovery path
  (retry, ID fallback, orphan cleanup) is too invasive for a targeted fix here.
- #4 OVERWRITE WITHOUT DELETE: documented with TODO to replace engram_node_full with
  explicit delete-then-create once engram exposes a label-scoped delete API.
- #5/#10 BROKEN TRIM / OFF-BY-ONE: hist_trim() rewritten to use json_array_len /
  json_array_get (structural JSON ops) instead of raw str_index_of scanning for
  '{"role":' markers. Immune to marker strings appearing inside message content.
  Minimum retained count guard added: never trims below 2 entries.
- #6 PARTIAL-WRITE GUARD: conv_history_persist() refuses to write a blob that doesn't
  contain both '[' and ']'. conv_history_load() requires both before accepting content.
- #7 DUAL STORAGE: documented with a comment at the persist call site.
- #8 NO MAX SIZE GUARD: documented as TODO with rationale for why a byte-length cap
  requires a more invasive change (entry truncation or summarisation).
- #9 AGENTIC HISTORY NOT PERSISTED: handle_chat_agentic() now calls conv_history_persist()
  for the default global session (hist_key == "conv_history") after updating state,
  matching the non-agentic path's durability. Named sessions remain in-process only.
