Change Summary

Resuming a session whose last JSONL write was interrupted can lose the next message: appending joins it to the unfinished record, and the reader drops the combined line. A write interrupted inside a UTF-8 character also prevents the session from opening.

Separate an unterminated tail from the next append and skip records with invalid UTF-8 when reading. Keep the existing bytes and complete records intact, including a valid final record missing only its newline.

Validation: six regressions failed before the fix; 171 related tests passed afterward, with 20 skips. Tests cover partial JSON, partial UTF-8, a complete unterminated record, metadata-sidecar recovery, event readers, and sequence numbers. Applicable changed-file pre-commit hooks passed. Full-repository pre-commit reports existing main lint/format failures, including skills_manager.py:61 and shell_validator.py:91.
