fix: remove dynamic participant join to fix concurrent party_index assignment

- Remove dynamic participant addition in JoinSession
- Participants must be pre-created in CreateSession
- Add ErrPartyNotInvited error for unauthorized join attempts
- Fix Redis adapter to include version parameter in ReconstructSession
- This fixes VSS verification failures caused by inconsistent party indices
