feat(system-prompt): prompt variables, persona-as-section, tool-guidance ownership

One principle: every fact in the assembled prompt has exactly one owner.

- dsh-system-prompt: merge-extensible AssembleContext on assemble();
  a variable(name, provider) registry; {{name}} interpolation in
  renderPrompt, strict (unknown/valueless/malformed references throw);
  duplicate section and variable names rejected; assembly carries
  resolved section text + variables through the assemble waterfall.
- dsh-agent declares AssembleContext.agent; dsh-agent-loop registers
  the agent:persona section (order 0 - identity renders before tool
  guidance) and the model/cwd variables, and drops its string join:
  renderPrompt(assembly) IS the full prompt.
- Tool guidance moves to its owners: descriptions carry per-tool
  semantics; sections only cross-call habits (tool:bash exit-code
  habit at order 105; read's not-shell nudge). todo/subagent need no
  section - their descriptions already carry the contract.
- SubagentProvider.inheritsParentContext (spawn/acp false, fork true);
  dsh-tool-subagent derives truthful per-provider wording and resolves
  the provider at load (backend must be listed first).
- Example personas shrink to identity + behavior with {{model}} (and
  {{cwd}} in the ACP tree); the welcome banner stops enumerating tools.

- **Start-time features** (`outputSchema`, `depthLimit`, `toolFilter`) are a static `provider.capabilities` descriptor, checked by the service BEFORE a run exists. A request that needs one the provider lacks is **rejected loud** (`UNSUPPORTED_CAPABILITY`), never accepted-then-ignored.
- **Runtime features** (steering, resume) are **optional methods** on `SubagentRun` (`sendMessage?`, `resume?`). The method's presence IS the capability; TS narrowing is the discovery mechanism — a consumer cannot call an absent method without narrowing first, so there is no silent degradation path.
Beside `capabilities` sits one DESCRIPTIVE fact, not validated by the service: `provider.inheritsParentContext` — whether a child sees the parent conversation (`fork`: true — seeded with the completed-turn prefix; `spawn`/`acp`: false). The model-facing consumer (`dsh-tool-subagent`) derives truthful tool wording from it.
## Run lifecycle
`provider.start(request)` returns a `SubagentRun`: a handle with a `result` promise, `cancel()`, `dispose()`, and the optional runtime methods. `result` resolves with a `SubagentResult` (`output`, optional `structured`, `stopReason`) — it does **not** reject on a child-level failure (a model/transport failure resolves with `stopReason: 'error'`), so the consumer maps a non-`completed` reason to an `isError` tool result. The consumer MUST `dispose()` on every path (success, error, abort) to reach child quiescence and avoid leaking an idle child / session.
