Summary

After upgrading from an older version where /reset reused the generated transcript filename, subsequent TUI /reset calls can continue writing new session transcripts to the old sessionId-based .jsonl filename.

Steps to reproduce

1. Run pnpm openclaw tui
2. Send a normal message.
3. Run /reset.
4. Send a normal message in new session.
5. Inspect the agent sessions directory.

Expected behavior

Based on earlier observed behavior and clean-state behavior after the current fix, /reset should create a fresh logical session and use a transcript filename based on the new sessionId, such as <new-session-id>.jsonl.

Actual behavior

The old transcript is archived as <old-filename>.jsonl.reset.<timestamp>, but the new active transcript continues to use the same stale generated filename, for example cc420d76-5fab-465c-8b8e-4415b9fab87e.jsonl, even though the transcript header contains a different new session id.
