fix(data-integrity): Replace unconditional commit with flush in LLMTraceRepository.save()

The save() method was calling session.commit() unconditionally, which violated
UnitOfWork transaction boundaries when called within a UoW transaction. This
caused premature commits of outer transactions and prevented proper rollback
on subsequent failures.

Changed session.commit() to session.flush() to make changes visible within
the transaction without committing, allowing the UoW to control the transaction
boundary. This aligns with the pattern used by other repositories in the codebase.

Added comprehensive BDD tests with @tdd_issue_7505 tag to verify:
- Trace is visible within the transaction after save()
- Transaction is not committed yet
- Transaction can be rolled back
- Trace does not exist after rollback

Fixes #7505
