fix: improve bluebubbles webhook registration resilience

Follow-up to cherry-picked PR #6592:
- Extract _webhook_url property to deduplicate URL construction
- Add _find_registered_webhooks() helper for reuse
- Crash resilience: check for existing registration before POSTing
  (handles restart after unclean shutdown without creating duplicates)
- Accept 200-299 status range (not just 200) for webhook creation
- Unregister removes ALL matching registrations (cleans up orphaned dupes)
- Add 17 tests covering register/unregister/find/edge cases

-Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Contacts, Sheets, and Docs — all through Python scripts in this skill. No external binaries to install.
+Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Contacts, Sheets, and Docs — powered by `gws` (Google's official Rust CLI). The skill provides a backward-compatible Python wrapper that handles OAuth token refresh and delegates to `gws`.

+## Architecture

+```
+google_api.py  →  gws_bridge.py  →  gws CLI
+(argparse compat)  (token refresh)    (Google APIs)
+```

+- `setup.py` handles OAuth2 (headless-compatible, works on CLI/Telegram/Discord)
+- `gws_bridge.py` refreshes the Hermes token and injects it into `gws` via `GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_CLI_TOKEN`
+- `google_api.py` provides the same CLI interface as v1 but delegates to `gws`

-- **Email only** → They don't need this skill at all. Use the `himalaya` skill

 ### Step 2: Create OAuth credentials (one-time, ~5 minutes)
 
 Tell the user:
 
-> You need a Google Cloud OAuth client. This is a one-time setup:
->
 > 1. Go to https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials
 > 2. Create a project (or use an existing one)
-> 3. Click "Enable APIs" and enable: Gmail API, Google Calendar API,
->    Google Drive API, Google Sheets API, Google Docs API, People API
-> 4. Go to Credentials → Create Credentials → OAuth 2.0 Client ID
-> 5. Application type: "Desktop app" → Create
-> 6. Click "Download JSON" and tell me the file path

+> 3. Enable the APIs you need (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Sheets, Docs, People)

+> 5. Download JSON and tell me the file path

 ## Rules
 
-1. **Never send email or create/delete events without confirming with the user first.** Show the draft content and ask for approval.
-2. **Check auth before first use** — run `setup.py --check`. If it fails, guide the user through setup.
-3. **Use the Gmail search syntax reference** for complex queries — load it with `skill_view("google-workspace", file_path="references/gmail-search-syntax.md")`.
-4. **Calendar times must include timezone** — always use ISO 8601 with offset (e.g., `2026-03-01T10:00:00-06:00`) or UTC (`Z`).
-5. **Respect rate limits** — avoid rapid-fire sequential API calls. Batch reads when possible.

-"""Tests for DM thread session seeding.
+"""Tests for DM thread session isolation.
 
-When a bot reply creates a thread in a DM (e.g. Slack), the user's reply
-in that thread gets a new session (keyed by thread_ts). The seeding logic
-copies the parent DM session's transcript into the new thread session so
-the bot retains context of the original conversation.
+DM thread sessions must start empty — no parent transcript seeding.
+Thread context is handled by platform adapters (e.g. Slack's
+_fetch_thread_context fetches actual thread replies via the API).
+Session-level seeding was removed because it copied the ENTIRE parent
+DM transcript, causing unrelated conversations to bleed across threads.
 
 Covers:
-- Basic seeding: parent transcript copied to new thread session
-- No seeding for group/channel chats
-- No seeding when parent session doesn't exist
-- No seeding on auto-reset sessions
-- No seeding on existing (non-new) thread sessions
-- Parent transcript is not mutated by seeding
-- Multiple threads from same parent each get independent copies
-- Cross-platform: works for any platform with DM threads (Slack, Telegram, Discord)
+- Thread sessions start empty (no parent seeding)
+- Group/channel thread sessions also start empty
+- Multiple threads from same parent are independent
+- Existing thread sessions are not mutated on re-access
+- Cross-platform: consistent behavior for Slack, Telegram, Discord
