0ef80f05ce fix: crisis protocol integration with conversation loop

Closes #692

The crisis protocol module (agent/crisis_hook.py) was dead code —
not wired into run_agent.py. Crisis detection never fired.
The 988 Lifeline resources were never displayed.

Changes:

- agent/crisis_hook.py: NEW — crisis detection module with:
  - 9 direct suicidal ideation patterns (high confidence)
  - 12 indirect crisis signals (medium confidence)
  - System prompt override for crisis guidance
  - Autonomous action blocking (should_block_autonomous_actions)
  - Notification callback registry (register_crisis_callback)
  - Crisis response with 988, Crisis Text Line, 911

- run_agent.py (run_conversation):
  1. Crisis check at entry point — every user message
  2. System prompt override injected at line 7620 (before API call)
  3. Tools disabled via self.disabled_toolsets = ["*"]
  4. Notification callbacks called for logging/alerting
  5. Conversation continues with crisis guidance active

- tests/test_crisis_integration.py: 15 tests covering detection,
  system prompt override, autonomous action blocking, notification
  callbacks, and crisis response content.
