feat(stage): recognize additional harness tool aliases

[grahamking]

Add tool aliases to Stage’s existing signal categories:

Category	Tools	Harnesses
Observe	glob, grep	Claude Code and OpenCode
Observe	grep, find, ls	Pi’s optional search tools
Plan	todo_list	Hermes
Shell inference	exec	OpenClaw
Shell inference	powershell	Pi on Windows

Shell tools use the existing command heuristics. Matching remains case-insensitive, covering Claude Code’s Glob and Grep.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Improvements
  • Updated tool classification to recognize additional file-observation and planning tools.
  • Expanded command-pattern routing to support more shell environments.

Walkthrough

The built-in tool signal lists now recognize additional observation and planning tools. Bash-pattern routing now also applies to exec and powershell.

Changes

Tool signal name classification

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update tool signal mappings crates/libsy/src/algorithms/util/tool_signals.rs	The read-tool list adds glob, grep, find, and ls. The planning-tool list adds todo_list. Bash-pattern routing adds exec and powershell.

Priority: ⚪ Not assessed

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~4 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b3fb1

Pi sessions using native PowerShell cmdlets may be misclassified, affecting Stage’s tier choice. This is a bounded issue, but should be fixed or accepted before relying on those sessions.

- Line 219: Update the `powershell` route in tool-signal recognition to detect
native PowerShell cmdlets such as `Set-Content` and `Get-Content` before
applying Bash heuristics. Map writes and reads to the existing
production-activity and exploration signals, respectively, without relying on
Bash-pattern normalization.
