8fbb782090 fix(llm): nudge LLM when it expresses tool intent without calling tools (#653)
* fix(llm): nudge LLM when it expresses tool intent without calling tools

Non-Anthropic models (especially GLM-5 via NEAR AI) frequently output
text like "Let me search for X" without including tool_calls, creating
a frustrating loop where the user waits but nothing happens.

Add llm_signals_tool_intent() detection that matches intent phrases
("let me search", "I'll fetch") while excluding conversational phrases
("let me explain", "let me know") and content inside code blocks.
When detected, inject a nudge message telling the model to actually
call the tool. Cap at 2 consecutive nudges to avoid infinite loops.

Applied to all three agentic loops: dispatcher (interactive chat),
agent/worker (background jobs), and worker/runtime (sandbox containers).

* fix(nudge): address PR #653 review comments

1. Update doc comment to match implementation (code blocks only, not quotes)
2. Use match_indices() instead of find() to check all prefix occurrences
3. Add !available_tools.is_empty() guard in dispatcher nudge check
4. Reset consecutive_tool_intent_nudges on non-intent text responses
5. Add regression test for shadowed prefix detection

* fix(nudge): address second round of PR #653 review comments

1. Strip double-quoted strings in tool-intent detection to avoid false
   positives on quoted prose like `"Let me search the database"`.
2. Only reset consecutive_tool_intent_nudges when text does NOT signal
   intent — preserves the 2-nudge cap when intent is detected but cap
   is already reached.
3. Fix assertion message in nudge_cap test to report correct call index.
4. Add regression test for quoted strings outside code blocks.
