- #98619: api_server: background delegate_task results are undeliverable for header-less OpenAI-compatible clients — wake gate assumes any bound session id is wake-capable

These items address a bug where background delegate_task results may be undeliverable to header-less OpenAI-compatible clients because the wake gate incorrectly assumes any bound session ID is wake-capable. A fix requires session provenance to confirm wake capability before routing delegated results.
