- PR #140757: fix(tools): keep a gateway session's write baselines across the per-turn cleanup

The three members all concern a gateway session's file write baselines being dropped during per-turn cleanup, which is described as causing write_file to refuse the agent's own file on the next turn. One is a bug report and two are fix pull requests proposing to retain the baselines across turns; the titles alone do not show whether any fix has been merged or works.
