feat(agent): log a digest when the advertised tool set changes

The tools array is the head of the provider's cached prompt prefix, so
any change to it re-prefills the whole request. Whether that actually
happens in real sessions is unmeasured: it shows up only as a billing and
latency spike a turn later, with nothing tying it back to a mount.

Log a digest when the set changes. Hashed, not verbatim — MCP tool
descriptions are arbitrary-length server-supplied text and do not belong
in the log stream.

This replaces an earlier attempt that sorted the array by name. That was
wrong: advertisedTools already orders deterministically, so sorting added
no stability, and an alphabetical insert can land at index 0 and
invalidate more of the prefix than appending does. A gate run carrying it
measured cache-hit rate down 3-8 points across all four eval tiers.
