Subject: [PATCH] fix(engine): all 177 tests pass with Python orchestrator

- Increment step_count and track tokens in __emit_event__("step_completed")
  so thread bookkeeping matches the old Rust loop behavior
- Remove double-counting of tokens in bootstrap (orchestrator handles it)
- Match nudge text to existing TOOL_INTENT_NUDGE constant
- Fix FINAL result propagation (use stored final_result, not VM return)
