Subject: [PATCH 2/9] feat(complexity_router): classify agent loop turns on
 their tool calls and results

Add classifier_context_include_tool_turns. When on, the tool calls and tool
results that followed the newest human ask go to the LLM or Jev classifier
under the ask being classified, so an every_request loop whose tool output
reveals a complex task routes the next turn on that task

Subject: [PATCH 3/9] fix(complexity_router): hold the ask's tier as a floor
 and escalate on tool turns under user_turn

With classifier_context_include_tool_turns, a user_turn tool turn is classified on its tool progress and moves up when that outranks the held pin, never down. The config rejects classifier types and session_affinity that never classify tool turns, and the local scorers no longer settle a turn carrying tool traffic

Subject: [PATCH 5/9] fix(complexity_router): give tool turns their own
 classifier breaker, floor adaptive escalation, share the tool context budget

A user_turn tool turn whose classifier call fails now opens a circuit breaker of its own, so it no longer stops classification of other sessions' new asks. Adaptive picks on a tool turn keep the held tier as a floor, held turns report the classifier failure reason and error type, and once a loop's tool traffic overflows classifier_context_budget_chars each entry is cut to a quarter of it so one large read cannot push the task out.

Subject: [PATCH 8/9] fix(complexity_router): keep the opening tool reads when
 a failed read comes first

An overflowing tool loop now fills half its budget with the oldest entries after the ask and the rest with
the newest, so a failed first read no longer leaves the classifier without the read that described the task
