Extensions: add pi.sendUserMessage() for sending user messages

Adds sendUserMessage() to the extension API, allowing extensions to send
actual user messages (role: user) rather than custom messages. Unlike
sendMessage(), this always triggers a turn and behaves as if the user
typed the message.

- Add SendUserMessageHandler type and sendUserMessage() to ExtensionAPI
- Wire handler through loader, runner, and all modes
- Implement via prompt() with expandPromptTemplates: false
- Add send-user-message.ts example with /ask, /steer, /followup commands
- Document in extensions.md

Fix event bus async error handling, clear pending messages on session switch, improve SDK docs

- event-bus.ts: await async handlers to catch errors properly
- agent-session.ts: clear _pendingNextTurnMessages on newSession/switchSession/branch
- sdk.ts: make eventBus first (required) param for discoverHooks/discoverCustomTools
- docs/sdk.md: document eventBus sharing pattern for hook/tool communication

feat(coding-agent): add event bus for tool/hook communication (#431 )

* feat(coding-agent): add event bus for tool/hook communication

Adds pi.events API enabling custom tools and hooks to communicate via
pub/sub. Tools can emit events, hooks can listen. Shared EventBus instance
created per session in createAgentSession().

- EventBus interface with emit() and on() methods
- on() returns unsubscribe function
- Threaded through hook and tool loaders
- Documented in hooks.md and custom-tools.md

* fix(coding-agent): wrap event handlers to catch errors

* docs: note async handler error handling for event bus

* feat(coding-agent): add sendMessage to tools, nextTurn delivery mode

- Custom tools now have pi.sendMessage() for direct agent notifications
- New deliverAs: 'nextTurn' queues messages for next user prompt
- Fix: hooks and tools now share the same eventBus (was isolated before)

* fix(coding-agent): nextTurn delivery should always queue, even when streaming

feat(hooks): add systemPromptAppend to before_agent_start, full tool registry

- before_agent_start handlers can return systemPromptAppend to dynamically
  append text to the system prompt for that turn
- Multiple hooks' systemPromptAppend strings are concatenated
- Multiple hooks' messages are now all injected (not just first)
- Tool registry now contains ALL built-in tools (read, bash, edit, write,
  grep, find, ls) regardless of --tools flag
- --tools only sets initially active tools, hooks can enable any via
  setActiveTools()
- System prompt automatically rebuilds when tools change, updating tool
  descriptions and guidelines
- Add pirate.ts example hook demonstrating systemPromptAppend
- Update hooks.md with systemPromptAppend documentation

Fix slash commands and hook commands during streaming

- Hook commands now execute immediately during streaming (they manage their own LLM interaction via pi.sendMessage())
- File-based slash commands are expanded and queued via steer/followUp during streaming
- prompt() accepts new streamingBehavior option ('steer' or 'followUp') for explicit queueing during streaming

Add guard against concurrent prompt() calls

Agent.prompt() and Agent.continue() now throw if called while already
streaming, preventing race conditions and corrupted state. Use
queueMessage() to queue messages during streaming, or await the
previous call.

AgentSession.prompt() has the same guard with a message directing
users to queueMessage().

Add agent state methods to CustomToolContext and fix abort signature

CustomToolContext now has:
- isIdle() - check if agent is streaming
- hasQueuedMessages() - check if user has queued messages
- abort() - abort current operation (fire-and-forget)

Changed abort() signature from Promise<void> to void in both
HookContext and CustomToolContext. The abort is fire-and-forget:
it calls session.abort() without awaiting, so the abort signal
is set immediately while waitForIdle() runs in the background.

Fixes #388

Split HookContext and HookCommandContext to prevent deadlocks

HookContext (all events):
- isIdle() - read-only state check
- hasQueuedMessages() - read-only state check
- abort() - fire-and-forget, does not wait

HookCommandContext (slash commands only):
- waitForIdle() - waits for agent to finish
- newSession(options?) - create new session
- branch(entryId) - branch from entry
- navigateTree(targetId, options?) - navigate session tree

Session control methods moved from HookAPI (pi.*) to HookCommandContext (ctx.*)
because they can deadlock when called from event handlers that run inside
the agent loop (tool_call, tool_result, context events).

Add session management and agent state methods to hooks API

HookAPI additions:
- pi.newSession(options?) - create new session with optional setup callback
- pi.branch(entryId) - branch from a specific entry
- pi.navigateTree(targetId, options?) - navigate the session tree

HookContext additions:
- ctx.isIdle() - check if agent is streaming
- ctx.waitForIdle() - wait for agent to finish
- ctx.abort() - abort current operation
- ctx.hasQueuedMessages() - check for queued user messages

These enable hooks to programmatically manage sessions (handoff, templates)
and check agent state before showing interactive UI.

refactor(coding-agent): fix compaction for branched sessions, consolidate hook context types

Compaction API:
- prepareCompaction() now takes (pathEntries, settings) only
- CompactionPreparation restructured: removed cutPoint/messagesToKeep/boundaryStart, added turnPrefixMessages/isSplitTurn/previousSummary/fileOps/settings
- compact() now takes (preparation, model, apiKey, customInstructions?, signal?)
