fix(web-tools): anchor tool contract at prompt tail + user-turn reminder
The <tool> contract from prepareToolMessages was prepended as the first system message. Web executors fold all system messages into one block, so with agentic clients whose system prompts exceed ~28K chars the contract sat at the head of a huge block and web models ignored it, refusing tool calls with "tool X is not in my tool set" (chatgpt-web, 0/3 at 30K chars). Two changes, both required in testing: - Dual placement: the full contract now rides as a trailing system message (folds to the tail of the system block) and a one-line reminder naming the tools is appended to the latest user message. - Rewording: the contract now frames injected tools as client tools invoked via a plain-text protocol, distinct from the model's native tool registry (web.run, python.exec, ...), and instructs the model to never claim they are unavailable. Without this the model resolved tool names against its native registry and refused even when it had seen the contract. Measured on cgpt-web gpt-5.5-thinking/gpt-5.6-thinking/o3: prepend 0/3 tool calls at 30K chars; dual placement 16/17 across 30K-250K system prompts, 30-tool sets, multi-turn tool history, streaming, and 3-way concurrency, with no spurious calls on no-tool prompts. Known limit: ~40K-char single user messages still flake (2/3) due to the upstream model's own injection heuristics. All prepareToolMessages consumers parse system messages position-independently and select the current user turn by role scan, so the trailing system message is shape-safe for every web executor.
