host 7bb3c37a10 feat: declarative agent definition v1 (inline agent on task creation)
Agent definition is a versioned JSON document bundling the task
fields this codebase already honours (model/effort/approval/
executor/plan), plus instructions and required skills. At task
creation, explicit body fields win per field over the definition;
unresolved fields stay NULL and follow the worker-default chain
(and rule routing v0 when model is left empty).

Instructions reach the model only as a marked header prepended
to the stored prompt, because the dispatch path has no
developerInstructions channel; goal and coordinator tasks reject
instructions. Skills are validated against the cloud/skills pack
at parse time; seeding itself stays worker-global, documented
as the v1 boundary. Routing policy is not part of a definition
in v1 (worker-global), and unknown fields are rejected so typos
cannot be silently dropped. No new tasks-table column in v1;
definition identity is echoed in the creation response and via
the prompt header.

Tests: test_agent_def.py (11 tests).
