feat(agents): custom context for Tier 2 + periodic system prompt re-injection

- SettingsTab: Custom Context textarea for Tier 2 project cards
- AgentSession passes systemPrompt for ALL projects (Tier 1 gets full
  generated prompt, Tier 2 gets custom context)
- Periodic re-injection: 1-hour timer checks if agent is idle, then
  auto-sends context refresh prompt with role/tools reminder
- AgentPane: autoPrompt prop consumed when session is done/error,
  resumes session with fresh system prompt
