Subject: [PATCH] feat(system-prompt): add messaging guidance section

Adds a brief 'Messaging' section to the system prompt to guide agents on:
- Reply in session = auto-routes to source provider
- Cross-session = use sessions_send
- Never use bash/curl for provider messaging

This helps prevent agents from using shell workarounds for messaging
when Clawdbot already handles routing internally.
