Subject: [PATCH] feat(ralph-loop): timestamp log filenames per session

Log files are now named <YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS>-iteration-N.log instead of
iteration-N.log. Each ralph-loop.sh invocation gets a unique SESSION_TS
so restarting after a session reset no longer overwrites previous logs.
Full audit trail preserved across resets.
