fix(gate): make the work-session invariant fix pass the full gate

Two failures the full make-quality flagged after 06adf978 landed on master:
- mypy: _second_agent (test helper) now returns the agent's UUID, so
  WorkSessionCreate(agent_id=...) receives a real uuid.UUID rather than the
  ORM column type.
- xenon: the single-active-per-task supersede is extracted out of
  _create_work_session_if_needed into _supersede_other_active_sessions,
  bringing the former back under complexity rank B.

No behavior change; 1566 work-session/gateway/service tests green.
