woggioni e4e00762bb Add websocket session support to kaya-session
- kaya-core: WebSocket ABC gains session attribute and accept(headers=...)
- kaya-core: AsgiWebSocket injects headers into websocket.accept message
- kaya-rsgi: RsgiWebSocket accepts headers param (ignored — Granian's
  accept() takes no args)
- kaya-session: SessionWebSocket wrapper exposes ws.session and injects
  Set-Cookie on accept()
- kaya-session: SessionMixin registers before/after websocket hooks;
  session loaded at connect, persisted on close if modified
- 10 new WV session tests covering read, persist, handshake cookie,
  regenerate, invalidate, isolation
- Example and README updated

# kaya-session
Session management for the Kaya web framework.
Provides server-side, identity-agnostic HTTP sessions via a session cookie. The
session data is accessible from request handlers as `ctx.session`.
## Usage
```python
from kaya.core import KayaApp, HttpContext
from kaya.session import SessionMixin, InMemorySessionStore
session = SessionMixin(InMemorySessionStore())
app = KayaApp(mixins=[session])
@app.GET('/')
async def home(ctx: HttpContext):
n = ctx.session.get('visits', 0) + 1
ctx.session['visits'] = n
await ctx.send_str(200, f'visits: {n}')
```
Sessions are created lazily: a cookie is only set when the handler modifies the
session.
`SessionMixin` is a `KayaMixin`, so the app stays a `KayaApp` and both ASGI and
RSGI keep working.
## WebSocket sessions
The same session is available in websocket handlers as `ws.session`:
```python
@app.websocket('/ws/visits')
async def ws_visits(ws: WebSocket):
visits = ws.session.get('visits', 0) + 1
ws.session['visits'] = visits
await ws.accept()
await ws.send_text(f'visits: {visits}')
```
The session is loaded from the cookie when the connection is opened and
persisted when the connection closes, if it was modified. The session cookie
can only be set or refreshed on the handshake response, so mutate the session
*before* calling `ws.accept()` if you want the cookie delivered with the
handshake. Handshake cookies require ASGI spec version 2.1+; RSGI websocket
handshakes cannot carry response headers, so on RSGI the session is loaded and
persisted but the cookie is only set or refreshed by HTTP responses.
## Session expiry
The cookie sent to the browser has a `Max-Age` (default 14 days), but that is
only a client-side hint. The real boundary is the store's server-side TTL,
which the mixin keeps in sync with the cookie `Max-Age`.
For `InMemorySessionStore`, a session expires if it is idle for longer than
`max_age`. Active sessions have their expiry slid forward on every access, so
a user that keeps visiting stays logged in. If the client ignores the cookie's
`Max-Age` and replays an old cookie value, the store rejects the expired
session and creates a fresh empty one.
Set `max_age=None` to disable server-side expiry (and the `Max-Age` cookie
attribute) entirely.
## Features
- `Session`: dict-like session object with modification tracking
- `SessionStore`: abstract store interface
- `InMemorySessionStore`: simple in-memory store for development/single-process
- `SessionMixin`: composable Kaya mixin managing session cookies and persistence
- Session ID regeneration (`session.regenerate_id()`) and invalidation
(`session.invalidate()`) for authentication layers
- WebSocket support: the session is exposed as `ws.session` in websocket
handlers, loaded at connect time and persisted on close
## Notes
- `InMemorySessionStore` does not survive process restarts and is not shared
across processes. Production deployments should use a store backed by a shared
storage system (planned).
