Persist verified user answers in Guardian thread context (#42579)

## Why

Guardian authorization reviews need host-verified `request_user_input` answers to
remain aligned with thread history across compaction, resume, and rollback.

## What changed

- Record verified question-and-answer pairs in retained thread context when
  `GuardianThreadContext` is enabled, and source both local and delegated Guardian
  review evidence from that context.
- Preserve complete answer records within the evidence budget. Mark authorization
  context incomplete when records are unavailable or oversized, and defer cached
  fast approvals in that case.
- Keep the existing runtime-only answer path for threads that do not enable the
  thread-owned context.

## Testing

- Cover answer retention through compaction and resume, removal after rollback,
  source-call eviction, oversized answers, delegated review evidence, and legacy
  behavior.
