Salman Mohammed 4beffef697 feat(buzz-acp): update base prompt; add buzz context and skills to Pi agents (#7335)
## Summary

- launch Pi through a private Buzz wrapper so managed Pi agents receive
Buzz's base prompt plus the configured thread/channel session model via
`--system-prompt`
- load the Buzz workspace skill directory with Pi's repeatable `--skill`
flag, making `~/.buzz/.agents/skills/buzz-cli` available alongside Pi's
normal global skill discovery
- report Pi and `pi-acp` installation states separately so setup
guidance points to the missing component

`pi-acp` does not currently consume the ACP `session/new` system prompt,
but its normal new-session and restore paths do honor
`PI_ACP_PI_COMMAND` as the executable used to launch Pi. Buzz reserves
that variable and sets it to a private generated launcher. The launcher
invokes `pi` from Buzz's effective `PATH`, adds `--system-prompt <file>`
and `--skill <workspace>/.agents/skills`, and forwards `pi-acp`'s RPC
and session arguments unchanged. This keeps the integration entirely in
`block/buzz`, without changes to Pi or `pi-acp`.

### How PI_ACP_PI_COMMAND works in `pi-acp`

`PI_ACP_PI_COMMAND` selects one executable; it does not accept
arguments. Therefore:

```bash
# Does not work
PI_ACP_PI_COMMAND="pi --skill ~/.buzz/.agents/skills"
```

Buzz does not expose this variable as user configuration. It creates a
private launcher and sets `PI_ACP_PI_COMMAND` only on the `pi-acp`
child. Conceptually, that launcher executes:

```sh
#!/bin/sh
exec pi \
  --system-prompt "$PRIVATE_SYSTEM_PROMPT" \
  --skill "$HOME/.buzz/.agents/skills" \
  "$@"
```

### Related issue

Follow-up to #7208. No duplicate issue or open PR found.

### Testing

- `just ci`
- `cargo test -p buzz-acp pi_launcher`
- `cargo test --manifest-path desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml
managed_agents::env_vars::tests`
- `cargo test --manifest-path desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml
managed_agents::discovery::presets::tests`
- pre-push branch checks

No screenshots: the UI change is state-dependent setup guidance only.

**Update Sep 4, 13:35:** Made `PI_ACP_PI_COMMAND` entirely Buzz-owned.
- Managed agent configuration now rejects the variable as a user
override.
- Buzz always launches `pi` from its effective `PATH` and rejects
inherited values before creating its private launcher.
- Removed the custom Pi executable discovery path and its internal
environment alias.

---
**Update Sep 4, 14:03:** Reject inherited `PI_ACP_PI_COMMAND` values
instead of replacing them.
- Pi startup now fails with an actionable message telling the user to
unset the variable.
- Removed the Pi-specific exception from the generic ACP environment
injection path.
