feat(gateway): restore Gate Set D content-tool ownership guards

When a caller passes an explicit task_id to commit / note / say / dm /
evidence, ContentActions now verifies task.assigned_to == caller_agent_id
before allowing the side effect. Auto-fill from get_active_task_for_agent
is implicitly self-owned and does not need a re-check.

evidence() additionally allows assigned_to=None (post-handoff transient
state) so QA / documenter can inspect tasks between reassignments.

Pre-gateway, agents could not even see tasks they didn't own because the
MCP handlers resolved task from session context. The gateway exposes
task_id parameters across multiple verbs, so the explicit ownership
gate is required.

Exception: say() and dm() with NO task_id are exempt — used for channel
announcements and off-task A2A. The strict guard only applies when the
agent supplies a task_id parameter.

"""Gate Set D: content-tool ownership guards in ContentActions.
When a caller passes a ``task_id`` to commit / say / dm / note / evidence,
the gateway must verify ``task.assigned_to == caller_agent_id`` before
allowing the side effect.
Pre-gateway equivalent: agents could only act on tasks they owned because
the MCP handlers resolved task from session context. With the gateway
exposing the task_id parameter, the ownership check must be explicit.
Exception: ``say`` and ``dm`` without a task_id (channel-only / off-task
A2A) are exempt used for channel announcements.
