Jamkris 4f21ed2acf fix(hooks): use last cumulative row for session cost in metrics bridge ...

`ecc-metrics-bridge.js#readSessionCost` summed the
`estimated_cost_usd`, `input_tokens`, and `output_tokens` of
every matching row in `~/.claude/metrics/costs.jsonl`. That breaks
the documented contract of `scripts/hooks/cost-tracker.js`, which
explicitly states (in its module docblock):

  Cumulative behavior: Stop fires per assistant response, not
  per session. Each row therefore represents the cumulative
  session total up to that point. To get per-session cost, take
  the last row per session_id.

Summing N cumulative rows over-counts by roughly (N+1)/2 ×. For a
session with 3 rows at 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 USD (true running total
0.03), the bridge today reports 0.06 USD. The over-counted value
feeds `ecc-context-monitor.js`, which then trips its
COST_NOTICE_USD / COST_WARNING_USD / COST_CRITICAL_USD thresholds
on phantom spend AND injects the inflated number as
`additionalContext` into the live model turn — so the agent
itself is told a wrong cost.

Reproduced on `main` before this commit:

  $ cat > /tmp/eccc/.claude/metrics/costs.jsonl <<EOF
  {"session_id":"S1","estimated_cost_usd":0.01,"input_tokens":333,"output_tokens":166}
  {"session_id":"S1","estimated_cost_usd":0.02,"input_tokens":666,"output_tokens":333}
  {"session_id":"S1","estimated_cost_usd":0.03,"input_tokens":1000,"output_tokens":500}
  EOF

  $ HOME=/tmp/eccc node -e 'const m = require("./scripts/hooks/ecc-metrics-bridge.js"); \
      console.log(JSON.stringify(m.readSessionCost("S1")))'
  {"totalCost":0.06,"totalIn":1999,"totalOut":999}

Expected: `{"totalCost":0.03,"totalIn":1000,"totalOut":500}` (the
last cumulative row).
Actual: 2× over-count.

Fix: replace `+=` with `=` in the matching branch so the assigned
values reflect the most recent row encountered. The iteration
order is file order, which is also event time order, so the last
assignment wins — exactly the contract cost-tracker writes
against.

After this commit the reproduction above returns
`{"totalCost":0.03,"totalIn":1000,"totalOut":500}`.

Regression test in `tests/hooks/ecc-metrics-bridge.test.js`:
`readSessionCost returns the LAST cumulative row, not the sum
(cost-tracker contract)`. The existing
`readSessionCost does not include unrelated default-session rows`
test happened to pass even with the bug because it only had one
target-session row — single-row sessions are coincidentally
correct under both formulas. The new test uses three rows so the
two formulas diverge.

A second issue in the same function — the 8 KiB tail-only read
silently drops older rows once a session's recent cumulative
totals scroll past that window — is fixed in the next commit.
