fix: expose session.subscribe on ACP runtime sessions for engine workflow steps (#3501)

## Summary

Fixes the `session.subscribe is not a function` crash that breaks every
engine workflow step (Plan Review, Code Review) executed by an ACP agent
(Hermes ACP, Prime, Grok).

Introduced by the ACP custom-tools bridge (#3476) in the sense that it
made the gap reachable: ACP sessions stream through the bridging client
handler onto `callbacks` and never exposed the pi-style `subscribe()`
that the engine's AgentSession contract promises. Two production call
sites call it unconditionally:

- `packages/engine/src/executor/execute-workflow-step.ts` (workflow
steps — Plan Review / Code Review)
- `packages/engine/src/pi.ts` fallback wiring (`wireFallbackHooks`,
`promptableSession.subscribe`)

(`reviewer.ts` guards with `typeof session.subscribe === "function"`;
the other paths do not.)

Real-world symptom (verified on 0.77.0-beta.6 with a Hermes ACP agent):
every Plan Review attempt fails before producing a verdict:

```
[pre-merge] Workflow step failed: Plan Review
outcome: Plan Review failed before producing a verdict: session.subscribe is not a function
Plan Review provider retry budget exhausted
```

## Fix

Fix at the seam rather than guarding every call site forever:

- `AcpRuntimeAdapter.createSession` wraps the raw callbacks so each
forwarded text/thinking/tool event is **also** replayed to subscribers
as the pi-shaped event consumers parse (`message_update` +
`assistantMessageEvent.{text_delta,thinking_delta}`,
`tool_execution_start/end`)
- exposes `session.subscribe(handler)` returning an unsubscribe
function; dispose clears subscribers
- merges engine `taskEnv` into the subprocess env behind the existing
allow-list trust boundary (KTD6b preserved — only allow-listed keys
forward, task values win)
- original callback delivery unchanged; subscriber exceptions are
isolated so a faulty consumer can't break the streaming bridge

## Testing

- New regression tests in `runtime-adapter.test.ts` against the real
echo-agent fixture (`ACP_FIXTURE_RICH_PROMPT=1`):
  - subscribe replays text/thinking/tool events as pi-shaped events
  - unsubscribe stops delivery
  - dual delivery: original `onText` callback AND subscriber both fire
- Full plugin suite: 255 passed (21 files)
- `tsc --noEmit` clean for the plugin

- changeset for `@runfusion/fusion` (patch, bugfix)

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
  * Added session event subscriptions with unsubscribe support.
* Streamed text, thinking, and tool updates are replayed in a consistent
event format.
* Added support for task-specific environment values when launching
subprocesses.

* **Bug Fixes**
* Ensured streamed events reach both existing callbacks and subscribers.
  * Isolated subscriber errors so they do not interrupt other handlers.
  * Session cleanup now stops further subscription notifications.

+summary: Expose `session.subscribe` on ACP runtime sessions so engine workflow steps work with ACP agents.
+category: fix
+dev: The engine's AgentSession contract (pi-coding-agent) exposes `subscribe(handler)`, and two production call sites call it unconditionally: `execute-workflow-step.ts` (Plan/Code Review steps) and `pi.ts` fallback wiring (`wireFallbackHooks`, `promptableSession.subscribe`). `reviewer.ts` guards with `typeof session.subscribe === "function"`, but the other paths do not. ACP sessions (Hermes/Prime/Grok via the generic ACP runtime) streamed through the bridging client handler onto `callbacks` instead, so any workflow step executed by an ACP agent crashed before producing a verdict with `session.subscribe is not a function`. The adapter now wraps the raw callbacks so every forwarded text/thinking/tool event is also replayed to subscribers as the pi-shaped event (`message_update` + `assistantMessageEvent.{text_delta,thinking_delta}`, `tool_execution_start/end`) consumers parse, exposes `session.subscribe(handler)` returning an unsubscribe function, and merges engine `taskEnv` into the subprocess env behind the existing allow-list trust boundary. Original callback delivery is unchanged; subscriber failures are isolated. Regression tests cover event replay, unsubscribe semantics, and dual delivery (callbacks + subscribers) against the real echo-agent fixture.
