fix(update,session): brain_update and session_log confine caller paths (#169)

Review round 1 on PR #170 found two more handlers with the #169 class of
bug (verified by execution):

- brain_update resolved its caller path with resolveWithin, a lexical
  containment check: any brain file could be superseded
  (classification.yaml, raw/, sessions/), and a final symlink was
  written through. UpdateNote now resolves like brain_edit
  (notes.Resolve, ScopeNotes: knowledge/ and wiki/ .md notes), and reads
  and rewrites through brainfs (ReadRegular, WriteRegular).
- session_log joined the caller's session_id onto the sessions dir and
  opened it O_CREATE|O_APPEND: an id with path segments created or
  appended a .jsonl file anywhere the pod could write. The id must now
  be a plain name (^[A-Za-z0-9_][A-Za-z0-9._-]{0,127}$, which every live
  session file matches), and the open adds O_NOFOLLOW|O_NONBLOCK. Read
  checks the id too.
- Tunnel tests: the .txt case now names an existing file (it failed on
  "missing" before), the symlink test adds an in-brain target, and the
  FIFO comment no longer claims the handle check is the only guard.
