Add agent context observability events (memory, skills, MCP tools) (#356)
## Summary

Adds three new durable run events — `agent.memory.loaded`,
`agent.skills.discovered`, and `agent.skill.activated` — and enriches
`agent.mcp.ready` with names-only tool summaries. Consumers can now
reconstruct what memory, skills, and MCP tools were active for any agent
run by reading the event stream, without needing to inspect session
state.

### Plan Summary

- **`fabro-types`**: New prop structs (`AgentMemoryLoadedProps`,
`AgentSkillsDiscoveredProps`, `AgentSkillActivatedProps`,
`AgentMcpToolSummary`) and three new `EventBody` variants with canonical
dot-name serialization. `AgentMcpReadyProps.tools` uses
`#[serde(default, skip_serializing_if = "Vec::is_empty")]` for backwards
compatibility.
- **`fabro-agent/memory.rs`**: `discover_memory` now returns
`Vec<MemoryDocument>` carrying path, byte counts, and truncation flag
alongside content. The content itself is never put in any event payload.
- **`fabro-agent/types.rs`**: Adds `MemoryLoaded`, `SkillsDiscovered`,
`SkillActivated`, and enriched `McpServerReady` internal variants.
Removes `SkillExpanded` (replaced by `SkillActivated { source: Slash
}`). New variants are **not** classified as streaming noise, so they
persist.
- **`fabro-agent/session.rs`**: Emits `MemoryLoaded` before skills init,
`SkillsDiscovered` after skill discovery, and enriches `McpServerReady`
with summaries from `McpConnectionManager::tool_summaries_for_server`.
Slash expansion now emits `SkillActivated { source: Slash }` instead of
`SkillExpanded`.
- **`fabro-agent/skills.rs`**: `make_use_skill_tool` emits
`SkillActivated { source: Tool }` on successful lookup only.
- **`fabro-mcp/connection_manager.rs`**: New `tool_summaries_for_server`
returns sorted `(qualified_name, original_name)` pairs without leaking
descriptions or schemas.
- **`fabro-workflow/event/convert.rs` + `names.rs`**: Converts all new
agent events to their typed `fabro-types` props, including `visit`
injection. Removes dead `SkillExpanded` arm.
- **`docs/internal/events.md`**: Documents all new event shapes with
full property tables; notes that `agent.skill.expanded` is replaced.

### Key design decisions

- Both `MemoryLoaded` and `SkillsDiscovered` are emitted even when the
result is empty. This lets consumers distinguish "no memory/skills
found" from "event not yet reported."
- Memory file **contents are never included** in any event payload —
only `path`, `byte_count`, `loaded_bytes`, and `truncated`.
- `agent.mcp.ready` `tools` field is omitted from JSON when empty
(`skip_serializing_if`), preserving wire compatibility with existing
stored events.
- `SkillActivated` is persisted (not filtered as streaming noise),
unlike the former internal-only `SkillExpanded`.
