Gaurav Dubey 8dc43e5f60 fix(session-start): support ECC_SESSION_RETENTION_DAYS opt-out + document env var (#2151) (#2163)
* fix(session-start): support ECC_SESSION_RETENTION_DAYS opt-out + document env var

The retention pass for *-session.tmp files (issue #2151) landed previously,
but the env var that controls it was undocumented in the README and rejected
falsy values (0, off, disabled), silently falling back to the 30-day default.
Users who want to keep all sessions for forensic or research workflows had no
way to opt out.

This patch:

- Extends getSessionRetentionDays() so 0|off|false|disabled|never|none disables
  pruning entirely (returns null sentinel; default behavior unchanged).
- Updates the call site in main() to skip pruneExpiredSessions when retention
  is null and emits a clear "[SessionStart] Pruning disabled via
  ECC_SESSION_RETENTION_DAYS" log line so the operator can tell pruning is off.
- Documents ECC_SESSION_RETENTION_DAYS in the README "Hook Runtime Controls"
  section alongside the other ECC_SESSION_* knobs.
- Adds three regression tests in tests/hooks/hooks.test.js covering opt-out
  via 0, opt-out via off, and garbage-value fallback to default 30.

Verification:
- node tests/hooks/hooks.test.js  — 240/240 green (incl. 3 new retention tests)
- node tests/run-all.js           — 2622/2622 green
- npx eslint scripts/hooks/session-start.js tests/hooks/hooks.test.js — clean
- node scripts/ci/validate-no-personal-paths.js — clean
- node scripts/ci/check-unicode-safety.js       — clean
- node scripts/ci/validate-hooks.js — 28 matchers validated
- node scripts/ci/validate-rules.js — 115 files validated

Fixes #2151

* docs(readme): list all ECC_SESSION_RETENTION_DAYS opt-out values + add Windows example

Address reviewer feedback on PR #2163:
- CodeRabbit and cubic both flagged that the README docs only listed 3 of 6
  opt-out values accepted by getSessionRetentionDays() (0, off, disabled),
  while the implementation also accepts false, never, none.
- cubic also flagged the missing Windows PowerShell example for the new
  variable, breaking the parallel structure of the existing
  ECC_CONTEXT_MONITOR_COST_WARNINGS example block.

Updated the README to:
- Spell out all six opt-out values (0, off, false, disabled, never, none)
  and clarify they "keep all sessions (disable pruning)".
- Add an ECC_SESSION_RETENTION_DAYS line to the Windows PowerShell example.

No behavior change. README only.

Verification:
- npx markdownlint README.md — clean
- npx eslint scripts/hooks/session-start.js tests/hooks/hooks.test.js — clean
