Studio: harden Deep Research synthesis budget, prompt shielding, and message protection

- research_runs: split the synthesis evidence budget evenly across notes so a
  small context still keeps a slice of every research step instead of dropping
  the later steps after the earliest ones fill the budget.
- research_runs: shield the research question and approved plan before placing
  them in the decision and synthesis prompts, so a closing delimiter in either
  cannot escape its block and inject sibling sections.
- research_runs: redact bearer authorization tokens from public search queries.
- studio_db: include attachments in the research-message change check and guard
  direct attachment deletion, so server-managed research prompts and responses
  cannot be mutated through the attachment paths.
- chat_history: map the protected-message conflict on attachment deletion to 409.
