fix(control-plane): unique container_restart action_id, no more history overwrite

_generate_recommendation() built container_restart ids as the bare
container-restart-<node>-<service>. Two DIFFERENT incidents for the
same node+service (e.g. a generic containers_not_running restart,
later followed — after recovery and recurrence — by an unrelated
restart for the same service) produced the identical id. Once the
first action reached cancelled/completed/failed, the second action's
own transition into that same directory silently overwrote the first
one's history file. This is exactly what happened 2026-08-26 to a
shadow-mode HA-websocket restart colliding with an unrelated 08-06
entry (docs/sessions/2026-08-26.md) — worked around by hand-renaming
the file that session.

Fix: suffix the id with the triggering incident's started_at —
container-restart-<node>-<service>-<unixts> — NOT time.time() at
generation call time. reconcile() calls _generate_recommendation() on
every loop iteration while the drift persists, and the pending/
approved/running existence check immediately below is what makes that
idempotent; it only works if repeated calls for the SAME ongoing
incident produce the SAME id. started_at is fixed for an incident's
whole life (observer._handle_incident only bumps
last_occurrence/occurrence_count on repeat occurrences — see
COMMIT-1-adjacent code) and changes only when a genuinely new incident
opens for that service, which is exactly "same id while ongoing,
different id on recurrence".

When the incident record is missing/unlinked, fall back to the bare
pre-fix id (container-restart-<node>-<service>, no suffix) — NOT
time.time(). This is not just a malformed-data corner case:
observer._prune_stale_world Case 3 (commit 71a7af5) clears a service's
incident_id after 24h of event silence even while the drift is still
ongoing, so a live restarting service can naturally hit this path.
time.time() would mint a new action_id — and a new pending file — on
every single reconcile() tick, which is the exact non-idempotency this
commit exists to fix, just via a different trigger. The bare id can't
distinguish same-incident from different-incident recurrences the way
the suffixed id can, but it is stable across calls, which is what the
dedup check actually needs.

Scope: only the generic CONTAINER_RESTART_TRIGGERS path
(_generate_recommendation). Left unchanged, deliberately:
  - redeploy-<node>-<service> ids — no observed collision, out of
    scope for this fix (flagged as a latent follow-up below).
  - The HA-specific container-restart-<node>-homeassistant id used by
    _generate_ha_container_restart / _generate_ha_shadow_alert /
    _cancel_ha_container_restart: these three functions rely on an
    exact-match lookup of that fixed id (cooldown check via
    _ha_action_recently_completed, and the cancel path finding the
    specific pending file to move) — adding a suffix there would
    break both without a broader refactor to prefix-glob lookups.
  - alert-ha-*/alert-node-* ids: _ha_action_recently_completed also
    exact-matches these for cooldown dedup; a suffix would defeat
    cooldown entirely (every occurrence would look "new").

node-agent idempotency gate confirmed unaffected: _already_processed()
in node_agent.py does a full-string action_id match against
processed-actions/<id>.done, guarding against RE-processing the exact
same dispatched action file (e.g. a duplicate rsync delivery) — not
against a new action_id for a new occurrence of the same service. A
suffixed id is legitimately a new action to node-agent, which is the
correct behavior (a genuine new incident should actually restart the
container again).

Tests: test_supervisor_action_id_uniqueness.py covers (1) repeated
_generate_recommendation() calls for the same ongoing incident produce
the same id and do not duplicate the pending file, (2) a new incident
after the old one completed gets a different id and does not overwrite
the old completed record, (3) fallback to the bare pre-fix id when the
incident record is missing, (4) that bare fallback id is stable across
repeated calls for the same missing-record drift — no duplicate
pending file, same as case (1) but for the no-incident path, (5)
redeploy ids stay bare. Updated test_observer_container_events.py's
end-to-end assertion to match by prefix instead of exact filename.
Full control-plane suite: 184 passed; node-agent suite: 70 passed
(unchanged, confirming the idempotency gate needed no code change).

"""action_id uniqueness for container_restart (2026-08-26 fix).
Before this fix, _generate_recommendation() built container_restart action
ids as the bare `container-restart-<node>-<service>` no timestamp, no
incident reference. Two DIFFERENT incidents for the same node+service (e.g. a
generic containers_not_running restart followed, after recovery and a later
recurrence, by another restart) produced the identical id. Once the first
action reached cancelled/completed/failed, the second action's move into that
same directory overwrote the first one's history file outright — this is
exactly what happened on 2026-08-26 to a shadow-mode HA-websocket restart
colliding with an unrelated 08-06 entry (docs/sessions/2026-08-26.md), worked
around manually that session by hand-renaming the file.
The fix anchors the id's suffix to the triggering incident's `started_at`
instead of wall-clock time-of-generation, so:
- repeated reconcile() calls for the SAME ongoing incident keep producing
the SAME action_id (required for the pending/approved/running dedup
check in _generate_recommendation to still work see its comment), and
- a NEW incident (after the old one resolved) gets a NEW id, so its
eventual cancelled/completed/failed file cannot collide with the old
incident's.
