chengyongruandXubin Ren b51da93cbb feat(agent): add SelfTool for runtime self-inspection and configuration
Add a built-in tool that lets the agent inspect and modify its own
runtime state (model, iterations, context window, etc.).

Key features:
- inspect: view current config, usage stats, and subagent status
- modify: adjust parameters at runtime (protected by type/range validation)
- Subagent observability: inspect running subagent tasks (phase,
  iteration, tool events, errors) — subagents are no longer a black box
- Watchdog corrects out-of-bounds values on each iteration
- Enabled by default in read-only mode (self_modify: false)
- All changes are in-memory only; restart restores defaults
- Comprehensive test suite (90 tests)

Includes a self-awareness skill (always-on) with progressive disclosure:
SKILL.md for core rules, references/examples.md for detailed scenarios.
