Michael Neale e9aca45048 feat(buzz-agent-core): implement the _Stop veto and _PostCompact re-injection
Closes the last behavioural gap. buzz-agent's most load-bearing non-standard
behaviour -- the agent may not end its turn while its todo list has open items
-- now works, with no changes to goose.

Why not goose's hook system. Goose has a blocking Stop hook with exactly these
semantics (agent.rs:2891-2917), but it is unreachable: hook_manager is private
with a #[cfg(test)] setter, and hooks are otherwise discovered as subprocesses
from <root>/.goose/plugins/*/hooks/hooks.json. The subprocess route looked
viable until you notice where the answer lives -- buzz-dev-mcp's todo list is
in-process state (todo.rs:49, a Mutex<Vec<Item>>) and that process's stdio is
owned by goose. A hook binary goose spawns cannot see it, so a materialised
hooks.json would produce a hook that always answers "no objection": worse than
no hook, because it looks like it works.

Instead we own the outer loop, so we ask the tool ourselves.
Agent::dispatch_tool_call is public (agent.rs:1059). Between rounds we call
_Stop on the same extension the model uses; on objection we re-enter reply()
with the objection as an agent-visible/user-invisible message. Capped at 3
consecutive vetoes, mirroring goose's own stop_hook_block_cap.

_PostCompact is wired to AgentEvent::HistoryReplaced and re-injects via steer(),
which goose drains at the round boundary (agent.rs:1951-1974).

Extension name is discovered by "___Stop" suffix rather than hardcoded --
buzz-acp derives it from the MCP binary's file stem (buzz-acp/src/lib.rs:4145),
so it is not a fixed string.

KNOWN DEVIATION: buzz-agent hid _-prefixed tools from the model
(agent.rs:328-336) while still calling them itself. Goose's available_tools
allowlist gates advertising and dispatch through the same cache
(extension_manager.rs:1421, :1698), so hiding them would make them
undispatchable and break the veto. They stay visible; a system-prompt
extension tells the model not to call them.

4 new tests against the real fake-mcp binary (copied from crates/buzz-agent)
counting provider generations: 2 objections => 3 calls, permanent objection
capped at 4, no hook => 1 call, and discovery under a non-obvious extension
name. 21 tests green.
