fix: clearCompleted must also delete from _knownSessions

Without this, _onSessionAdded never fires on reactivation because
isKnown=true short-circuits the new-session detection branch.

clearCompleted is called on lock file creation / ghost watch fire.
It clears _completedSessions cooldown but the session key stayed in
_knownSessions (isKnown=true), so poll() treated it as already tracked
and silently updated the entry instead of firing _onSessionAdded.

Fix: also delete from _knownSessions in clearCompleted() so next poll
sees the session as unknown and fires _onSessionAdded -> creates new
plugin status box.

Also: findExistingPost skipped in plugin mode on session-added to
prevent stale post reuse from REST search results.
