- PR #102137: fix(tui_gateway): open the profile session db for in-place agent rebuilds (#101719)

These items address a bug where in-place agent rebuilds in the TUI gateway fail to carry the correct profile session database handle, causing turns to be persisted into the wrong session state. The fixes ensure the live session DB is opened and threaded through rebuild operations correctly.
