Internal browser-selection prompt builder simplified to just naming the tool, with instruction text moved elsewhere

What

An internal function used to build the mandatory browser-selection instructions was simplified. It previously constructed the full multi-paragraph instruction text itself; now it just returns a short phrase naming the tool to use (like 'the X tool') or a fallback mentioning the ask-user tool. The actual instruction text is now built elsewhere.

Why

This is an internal restructuring of how browser-selection prompts are assembled; it doesn't change what instructions Claude ultimately receives, just how the code produces them.
