- #6507: Bug: session_search drops child/continuation-session hits by summarizing only the lineage root

Multiple corrections address a bug where session_search incorrectly retrieved content from a parent/root session instead of the FTS5-matched child or continuation session. The changes aim to preserve child-hit recall and correct content routing in search results.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
- Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
- Pairwise link density `0.20`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
