Artifact tool: replies validated, and comment text stripped from stored transcript

Artifact reviewer comment text is no longer kept in stored transcripts, and blanket allow rules skip several artifact actions.

The Artifact tool now rejects reply-only fields on other actions and keeps reviewer comment prose out of stored tool results.

Details
  • Passing thread_id or text on a non-reply action returns a dedicated error.
  • stripToolUseResultAtCreation is set with a stripForStorage transform that blanks every comment's text and drops span_quote before the result is persisted.
  • ignoresWholeToolAllowRule is declared for live-edit, watch, read_page_data and read_decisions, so a blanket allow rule for the tool does not cover those actions and they are not treated as auto-mode read-only.
  • The tool no longer counts against the aggregate tool-result budget via skipAggregateToolResultBudget, and its result-size cap comes from a constant rather than the previous literal 16000.
Evidence

skipAggregateToolResultBudget: !0,, ` thread_id and text apply only to action "reply" `

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