patriceckhart c610a3a645 feat(tui): live-stream file body during write/edit tool calls
You see the file being composed in real time now. While the model
is typing the tool_use JSON, the TUI renders a rules-wrapped
syntax-highlighted preview that grows as deltas arrive. When the
tool actually runs, the preview transitions to the final result
without flicker.

Before: the tool header appeared post-response, then "wrote N bytes"
for write / "applied 1 edit" for edit. No live feedback.

Now: as soon as the `path` field parses out of the partial JSON,
the header shows `▸ write /Users/pat/Desktop/demo.ts`. As the
`content` / `newText` string streams in, each delta extends the
highlighted preview body immediately. Collapsed at the usual
preview height with the standard `ctrl+o to expand` footer.

Implementation:

- internal/core/events.go: three new AgentEvent types,
  EvToolUseStart / EvToolUseArgs / EvToolUseEnd. They carry the
  tool id, name, and raw JSON deltas from the provider stream.
- internal/core/agent.go: forwards the equivalent provider events
  instead of dropping them. EvToolCall (with fully-parsed args)
  still fires at EventDone as before, so existing consumers
  don't need to change.
- internal/tui/partialjson.go: small escape-aware extractor that
  pulls one string field's value out of a partial JSON buffer as
  it grows. Handles \\ \" \n \t \r \b \f \/ and \uXXXX escapes;
  tolerates trailing incomplete escapes (returns the complete
  prefix and waits for more bytes). Second helper,
  ExtractLastNewText, walks to the most recent "newText":"..."
  inside an edits array so edit's streaming preview shows the
  edit currently being composed (not an earlier one that's
  already finished).
- internal/tui/view.go: ToolCallView gains Streaming, RawJSONBuf,
  LivePath fields. renderToolCall dispatches to renderLiveToolBody
  while Streaming=true and Result=="". For `write` it shows the
  partial `content`; for `edit` it shows `  edit N (streaming)`
  plus the partial `newText`. Shared wrapLiveBody keeps the rule
  + collapse boilerplate in one place.
- internal/agent/modes/interactive.go: handles the three new
  events. EvToolUseStart pre-creates the ToolCallView so the
  header appears instantly; EvToolUseArgs appends the delta and
  refreshes LivePath; EvToolUseEnd flips Streaming off. The
  pre-existing EvToolCall branch now updates the already-created
  view rather than replacing it.
- internal/agent/modes/json.go: emits tool_use_start /
  tool_use_args / tool_use_end events so `zot --json` consumers
  can build their own live previews.
- internal/agent/tools/write.go: tool result is now the written
  file body (same shape as read's result) with total_lines +
  start_line details. Keeps the visual transition from streaming
  preview to final result seamless, and gives the model the file
  contents in its own tool_result for follow-up turns.

Tests:

- internal/tui/partialjson_test.go: 9 cases on
  ExtractPartialStringField (complete, partial mid-word, escape
  variants, unfinished escapes) and 4 on ExtractLastNewText
  (no newText, partial, complete, multi-edit).

Verified end-to-end via `zot --json "write ..."` and
`zot --json "edit ..."` against the real API: 246 tool_use_args
delta events on a 30-line write, preview fields extracted live,
final file written correctly.
