🚨 HOTFIX v2.19.2: Fix critical session cleanup stack overflow (#316)

Browse Source 
* fix: Fix critical session cleanup stack overflow bug (v2.19.2)

This commit fixes a critical P0 bug that caused stack overflow during
container restart, making the service unusable for all users with
session persistence enabled.

Root Causes:
1. Missing await in cleanupExpiredSessions() line 206 caused
   overlapping async cleanup attempts
2. Transport event handlers (onclose, onerror) triggered recursive
   cleanup during shutdown
3. No recursion guard to prevent concurrent cleanup of same session

Fixes Applied:
- Added cleanupInProgress Set recursion guard
- Added isShuttingDown flag to prevent recursive event handlers
- Implemented safeCloseTransport() with timeout protection (3s)
- Updated removeSession() with recursion guard and safe close
- Fixed cleanupExpiredSessions() to properly await with error isolation
- Updated all transport event handlers to check shutdown flag
- Enhanced shutdown() method for proper sequential cleanup

Impact:
- Service now survives container restarts without stack overflow
- No more hanging requests after restart
- Individual session cleanup failures don't cascade
- All 77 session lifecycle tests passing

Version: 2.19.2
Severity: CRITICAL
Priority: P0

* chore: Bump package.runtime.json to v2.19.2

* test: Fix transport cleanup test to work with safeCloseTransport

The test was manually triggering mockTransport.onclose() to simulate
cleanup, but our stack overflow fix sets transport.onclose = undefined
in safeCloseTransport() before closing.

Updated the test to call removeSession() directly instead of manually
triggering the onclose handler. This properly tests the cleanup behavior
with the new recursion-safe approach.

Changes:
- Call removeSession() directly to test cleanup
- Verify transport.close() is called
- Verify onclose and onerror handlers are cleared
- Verify all session data structures are cleaned up

Test Results: All 115 session tests passing ✅

## [2.19.2] - 2025-10-13
### 🐛 Critical Bug Fixes
**Session Cleanup Stack Overflow (P0 - CRITICAL)**
Fixes critical stack overflow bug that caused service to become unresponsive after container restart.
#### Fixed
- **Stack Overflow During Session Cleanup**
- **Issue**: Missing `await` in cleanup loop caused concurrent async operations and recursive cleanup cascade
- **Impact**: Stack overflow errors during container restart, all subsequent tool calls hang indefinitely
- **Severity**: CRITICAL - makes service unusable after restart for all users with session persistence
- **Root Causes**:
1. `cleanupExpiredSessions()` line 206 called `removeSession()` without `await`, causing overlapping cleanup attempts
2. Transport event handlers (`onclose`, `onerror`) triggered recursive cleanup during shutdown
3. No recursion guard to prevent concurrent cleanup of same session
- **Fixes Applied**:
1. Added `cleanupInProgress: Set<string>` recursion guard to prevent concurrent cleanup
2. Added `isShuttingDown` flag to prevent recursive event handlers during shutdown
3. Implemented `safeCloseTransport()` helper with timeout protection (3 seconds)
4. Updated `removeSession()` to check recursion guard and use safe transport closing
5. Fixed `cleanupExpiredSessions()` to properly `await` with error isolation
6. Updated all transport event handlers to check shutdown flag before cleanup
7. Enhanced `shutdown()` method to set flag and use proper sequential cleanup
- **Location**: `src/http-server-single-session.ts`
- **Verification**: All 77 session lifecycle tests passing
#### Technical Details
**Recursion Chain (Before Fix):**
```
cleanupExpiredSessions()
└─> removeSession(session, 'expired') [NOT AWAITED]
└─> transport.close()
└─> transport.onclose handler
└─> removeSession(session, 'transport_closed')
└─> transport.close() [AGAIN!]
└─> Stack overflow!
```
**Protection Added:**
- **Recursion Guard**: Prevents same session from being cleaned up concurrently
- **Shutdown Flag**: Disables event handlers during shutdown to break recursion chain
- **Safe Transport Close**: Removes event handlers before closing, uses timeout protection
- **Error Isolation**: Each session cleanup failure doesn't affect others
- **Sequential Cleanup**: Properly awaits each operation to prevent race conditions
#### Impact
- **Reliability**: Service survives container restarts without stack overflow
- **Stability**: No more hanging requests after restart
- **Resilience**: Individual session cleanup failures don't cascade
- **Backward Compatible**: No breaking changes, all existing tests pass
