Tools can opt out of the aggregate tool-result budget

Individual tools can now skip the shared output size budget and just use the hard ceiling.

What

A tool definition can now declare that its output is not subject to the shared tool-result budget lookup.

Details
  • The tool-result size limiter takes a new fourth argument; when set it clamps straight to the ceiling instead of consulting the per-tool remote-config override.
  • The caller passes e.skipAggregateToolResultBudget === !0 from the tool definition, so the behaviour is gated per tool.
Evidence

skipAggregateToolResultBudget

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
