Subject: [PATCH] allow using /context command (#268)

I experimented with https://agentclientprotocol.com/rfds/session-usage
(see
https://github.com/agentclientprotocol/agent-client-protocol/pull/415),
but the Claude Agent SDK does not seem to return the information we need
for an accurate context indicator. For example, one request to explore a
project returned 500k+ cached read tokens in Claude's `result` message,
while the agent reported 64k tokens used. I can open a PR with those
changes for reference once the Typescript SDK is updated.

To allow users to still see the current context usage, allowing to run
`/context` seems to be the second best option. This PR changes the code
to handle the `<local-command-stdout>` message that the SDK generates
when sending `/context` and includes `/context` as allowed command.
