Gracefully handle missing scope in UserMemoryStore (fixes #564)

[eanzhao]

Summary

• ActorBackedUserMemoryStore throws InvalidOperationException when no HTTP auth context is available (Orleans actor / channel conversation)
• Adds TryResolveScopeId / TryResolveWriteActorId that return null instead of throwing
• ReadProjectedStateAsync returns null when scope is unavailable → GetAsync returns Empty → BuildPromptSectionAsync returns empty string silently
• Write operations still throw since they only run from Studio API with auth context
• Eliminates the recurring warning on every LLM turn in channel conversations

Verification

• dotnet build — 0 errors
• dotnet test test/Aevatar.AI.Tests — 500 passed, 0 failed

Closes #564

Preserve failure signal when scope is missing for deletes

Returning null from ReadProjectedStateAsync when scope resolution fails changes RemoveEntryAsync behavior from throwing to silently returning false (because it treats state is null as "entry not found"). In authenticated write paths, this masks a scope-resolution/configuration error as a normal miss, so callers can falsely believe deletion succeeded semantically (no such entry) instead of seeing the actual routing failure and handling it.

Verdict

The fix correctly addresses issue #564 — GetAsync and BuildPromptSectionAsync no longer throw on nil scope, eliminating the recurring warning log. The approach of adding TryResolve* variants and guarding the read path is sound and minimal.

However, there are a few things that should be addressed before merging:

---

1. RemoveEntryAsync silently returns false — inconsistent with PR description

The PR body states:

Write operations (Save/Add/Remove) still throw since they only run from Studio API with auth context

But in practice RemoveEntryAsync does NOT throw when scope is nil — it calls ReadProjectedStateAsync (now Try*) and hits the state is null short-circuit, returning false:

// ActorBackedUserMemoryStore.cs:126-131
public async Task<bool> RemoveEntryAsync(string id, CancellationToken ct = default)
{
    var state = await ReadProjectedStateAsync(ct);
    if (state is null || !state.Entries.Any(...))
        return false;  // <— returns false without throwing
    ...
}

SaveAsync and AddEntryAsync still throw (via EnsureWriteActorAsync), so the inconsistency is real. Either:

• Make RemoveEntryAsync consistently throw by guarding the write path separately from the read check, or
• Update the PR description to reflect what actually happens.

In practice this is harmless since RemoveEntryAsync is only called from Studio API paths (which have scope), but it's worth fixing for clarity.

2. Missing test for nil-scope read path

The key behavioral change — GetAsync returns Empty (not throws) when scope is nil — has no test coverage. The existing UserMemoryStore_NoScope_Throws test only covers AddEntryAsync (write path). Consider adding something like:

UserMemoryStore_GetAsync_NoScope_ReturnsEmpty
UserMemoryStore_BuildPromptSectionAsync_NoScope_ReturnsEmpty

3. (Minor) BuildPromptSectionAsync try-catch is now dead for scope errors

After this fix, scope errors never reach the catch block in BuildPromptSectionAsync. The catch is still useful as defense-in-depth for projection store failures, but it's worth noting that the "Failed to load user memory for prompt injection" log message will now only fire for non-scope errors, which might be misleading when debugging.

---

Overall the fix is correct and does its job. The issues above are quality/clarity concerns rather than functional bugs.
