feat: add PR trace resolution (#1612)

* feat: add PR trace resolution

Co-authored-by: open-swe[bot] <open-swe@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix: inject reviewer trace context as JSON

Co-authored-by: open-swe[bot] <open-swe@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix: address review on PR trace resolution

Use the documented LangSmith metadata filter syntax
(and(eq(metadata_key,...), eq(metadata_value,...))) instead of
has(metadata, '{...}'), which does not match runs — _list_thread_runs
was silently returning nothing. Bound full-text searches to a 90-day
window so they don't hit LangSmith's large-window rate limit.

Also folds in the best-effort branch->head-sha resolver (dropping the
weighted scoring/threshold + repo/file evidence + GitHub hydration),
sandbox JSON injection, and the admin "Resolve trace" dry-run endpoint.

The IDOR findings are moot: resolve_pr_to_threads/summarize_agent_session
were removed; resolution now runs deterministically from the trusted run
config with no model-controlled pr_url or thread_id.

* fix: scope branch trace search to the repo

Branch names like fix-tests aren't unique across repos (or older PRs) in
a shared tracing project, so an unscoped branch hit could resolve to an
unrelated thread and write its runs into the reviewer sandbox. Require
the repo slug to co-occur with the branch in matched runs; the full head
SHA stays unscoped since it is globally unique. Addresses open-swe review
on PR #1612.
