test(handlers): add missing DB-error tests for Record and SessionSearch

- TestDelegationRecord_DBInsertFails: verifies 500 on activity_logs insert failure
- TestSessionSearch_DBError: verifies 500 on WITH query failure

Both are regression coverage for error paths that lacked test coverage.

-# E2E test: workspace broadcast and talk-to-user platform abilities.
-#
-# What this proves:
-#   1. talk_to_user_enabled (default true) — POST /notify works out-of-the-box.
-#   2. PATCH /workspaces/:id/abilities { talk_to_user_enabled: false } disables
-#      delivery: /notify → 403 with error="talk_to_user_disabled" + delegate hint.
-#   3. Re-enabling talk_to_user_enabled restores delivery.
-#   4. broadcast_enabled (default false) — POST /broadcast → 403 when disabled.
-#   5. PATCH { broadcast_enabled: true } enables fan-out.
-#   6. POST /broadcast delivers to all non-sender, non-removed workspaces:
-#      - Returns {"status":"sent","delivered":N}
-#      - Receiver's activity log has a broadcast_receive entry with the message.
-#      - Sender's activity log has a broadcast_sent entry.
-#   7. The sender itself does NOT receive a broadcast_receive entry.

 - **check_task_status**: Poll the status of a task started with delegate_task_async; returns result when done.
 - **list_peers**: List the workspaces this agent can communicate with — name, ID, status, role for each.
 - **get_workspace_info**: Get this workspace's own info — ID, name, role, tier, parent, status.
-- **broadcast_message**: Send a message to ALL agent workspaces in the org simultaneously. Requires broadcast_enabled=true on this workspace (set by user/admin).
 - **send_message_to_user**: Send a message directly to the user's canvas chat — pushed instantly via WebSocket. Use this to: (1) acknowledge a task immediately ('Got it, I'll start working on this'), (2) send interim progress updates while doing long work, (3) deliver follow-up results after delegation completes, (4) attach files (zip, pdf, csv, image) for the user to download via the `attachments` field (NEVER paste file URLs in `message`). The message appears in the user's chat as if you're proactively reaching out.
 - **wait_for_message**: Block until the next inbound message (canvas user OR peer agent) arrives, or until ``timeout_secs`` elapses.
 - **inbox_peek**: List pending inbound messages without removing them.

 ### get_workspace_info
 Use to introspect your own identity (e.g. before reporting back to the user, or to determine whether you're a tier-0 root that can write GLOBAL memory).
 
-### broadcast_message
-Use for urgent, org-wide signals: critical status changes, emergency stop instructions, coordinated task announcements. Every non-removed workspace receives the message in its activity log (poll-mode agents see it on their next poll; push-mode canvases get a real-time banner). This tool returns an error if broadcast_enabled is false — a user or admin must enable it via the workspace abilities settings first.

 ### send_message_to_user
 Use proactively across the lifecycle of a task — early to acknowledge, mid-flight to update, late to deliver. Never paste file URLs in the message body — always pass absolute paths in `attachments` so the platform serves them as download chips (works on SaaS where external file hosts are unreachable).
