fix: resolve deferred review items from PRs #883, #848, #788 (#915)

Address three deferred implementation items flagged during code review:

1. SIGHUP lock held across .await (#883): Split restart_with_addr into
   merged_router_clone() + install_listener() so the async TcpListener
   bind happens outside the mutex, eliminating lock contention risk.

2. Recursion depth limit for check_strings (#848): Cap JSON traversal
   at 32 levels to prevent stack overflow on pathological tool params.

3. Named error type for add_tokens (#788): Replace Result<(), String>
   with TokenBudgetExceeded { used, limit } for type-safe budget errors.
