fix(engine,core): seal readonly agent sessions; sanitize summarizer output

The title summarizer ran with `tools: "readonly"` but host extensions
(`@runfusion/fusion`) were still injected, exposing `fn_task_create` and
the rest of the `fn_*` mutation surface. A summarizer model called
`fn_task_create` mid-summary, spawning an unintended sibling task and
leaving its chat-style reply ("Created **FN-xxxx** with the full spec…")
sliced as the original task's title.

- pi.ts: in `tools: "readonly"` mode, skip host extension paths and drop
  caller-supplied customTools so the session truly only has read/grep/
  find/ls.
- ai-summarize.ts: harden all four system prompts (title, merge summary,
  commit body, commit subject) with explicit no-tool / treat-input-as-
  content framing; wrap the title prompt's user content in a
  `<description>` delimiter; route the AI response through new
  `sanitizeTitle` that strips chatty preambles, markdown emphasis,
  surrounding quotes, and trailing punctuation before truncation.
- Tests: add a regression covering the exact incident shape plus
  unit coverage for `sanitizeTitle` edge cases.
