Renn F 38dba74837 fix(agents): stop instructing agents to ToolSearch built-in tools (#167) ...

The system-prompt directive layer and the briefing block both opened
with "FIRST ACTION REQUIRED: run ToolSearch to activate deferred
Edit/Write". That premise is false: per Claude Code 2.1.114, ToolSearch
gates only deferred MCP tools, never built-ins — and it is not even a
callable tool in the agent runtime. Built-ins are loaded at spawn via
the `--tools` flag and gated solely by the per-role permission rules
(the actual Edit/Write breakage was the global Write(*)/Edit(*) deny +
single-slash path, fixed in c0ba335). So weak models dutifully chased a
nonexistent ToolSearch, concluded Edit/Write were unavailable, and
rewrote whole files via destructive shell redirection.

Both touch points now affirm the role's built-in tools are loaded and
ready, tell the agent NOT to call ToolSearch, and (for authoring roles)
explicitly steer away from whole-file shell redirection — directly
countering the clobber behaviour. Role prompt files (developer,
cell_pm, main_pm, board) updated to match. Dead
_read_tool_load_from_role_prompt (no callers) removed. Directive tests
rewritten to lock the corrected behaviour.
