470de5bd2d feat: merge http/web_fetch tools, add tool output stash for large responses (#578)
* feat: merge http/web_fetch tools, add tool output stash for large responses

Merge `web_fetch` into `http` tool with smart approval: plain GETs (no
headers, no body) run without approval and follow redirects with SSRF
re-validation per hop; all other requests require approval as before.

Add `tool_output_stash` on JobContext so full tool outputs are preserved
before safety-layer truncation. The `json` tool gains a
`source_tool_call_id` parameter to reference stashed outputs, enabling
reliable parsing of large API responses that exceed the 100KB context
limit.

Other improvements:
- Descriptive User-Agent header using CARGO_PKG_VERSION
- Truncation now keeps partial data + hint about source_tool_call_id
- System prompt reinforces tool_calls over narration
- json tool query/stringify handle pre-parsed (non-string) data

* chore: delete dead web_fetch.rs (merged into http tool)

* style: fix rustfmt formatting

* style: rename shadowed data binding for clarity in json tool

Address PR review: rename owned `data` to `data_value` before
re-binding as `let data = &data_value` to make ownership explicit.

* fix(ci): mark network-dependent trace tests as #[ignore]

The weather_sf and baseball_stats tests hit live external APIs (wttr.in,
ESPN) which are unreliable in CI. Mark them #[ignore] so they don't
block the pipeline. Run locally with `--ignored` to include them.

* fix: replay recorded HTTP exchanges in trace tests instead of hitting live APIs

Wire ReplayingHttpInterceptor into TestRig when the trace fixture
contains http_exchanges. This replays recorded responses instead of
making live network calls, making tests deterministic and CI-stable.

Add captured HTTP responses to weather_sf.json (wttr.in) and
baseball_stats.json (ESPN API) fixtures.

Revert #[ignore] on both tests — they now run offline.

* fix: recover inline bracket-format tool calls from LLM text responses

When flatten_tool_messages converts tool calls to text like
`[Called tool `http` with arguments: {...}]` for NEAR AI compatibility,
the LLM sometimes echoes this format back in its text responses instead
of using proper tool_calls. Add recovery for this bracket format in
recover_tool_calls_from_content and strip it in clean_response so
users don't see raw tool call syntax.

//! Safety layer for prompt injection defense.
//!
//! This module provides protection against prompt injection attacks by:
//! - Detecting suspicious patterns in external data
//! - Sanitizing tool outputs before they reach the LLM
//! - Validating inputs before processing
//! - Enforcing safety policies
//! - Detecting secret leakage in outputs
