Salman Mohammed 2a236e4137 refactor(prompt): simplify Buzz agent guidance (#6340)
## Why
The Buzz agent prompt carries verbose agent-draft instructions that add
prompt weight without improving benchmark correctness. Buzz-native
channel trials also showed agents creating permanent channels while
claiming they had applied a one-hour TTL. The static CLI inventory
remains for efficient command discovery by smaller agents.

## What
- Retain the static Buzz CLI command table and direct agents to use
`--help` for full usage
- Compact the owner-reviewed agent-draft guidance without changing its
workflow
- Clarify that `buzz channels create` is permanent unless `--ttl` is
provided

## Benchmark Results
- Terminal-Bench retained 22/22 correctness in the initial no-table
candidate while reducing prompt size, input tokens, tool calls, and
cost; total active time was effectively flat.
- Across two Buzz-native runs, the non-channel cases tied at 26/30; the
CLI clarification directly addresses the observed TTL omission.

## Update — 2026-08-20
- Restored the CLI command table following review feedback about
multistep discovery with smaller agents. The restored-table candidate
has not been re-benchmarked.
