fix: auto compaction threshold default 200k tokens

This threads typed hook settings through runtime config, adds a shell-based hook runner, and executes PreToolUse/PostToolUse around each tool call in the conversation loop. The CLI now rebuilds runtimes with settings-derived hook configuration so user-defined Claude hook commands actually run before and after tools.

Constraint: Hook behavior needed to match Claude-style settings.json hooks without broad plugin/MCP parity work in this change
Rejected: Delay hook loading to the tool executor layer | would miss denied tool calls and duplicate runtime policy plumbing
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep hook execution in the runtime loop so permission decisions and tool results remain wrapped by the same conversation semantics
Tested: cargo test; cargo build --release
Not-tested: Real user hook scripts outside the test harness; broader plugin/skills parity
