Fix #677: Wire crisis_hook.check_crisis() into run_agent.py

The crisis_hook module existed but was not called from the conversation
loop. Now crisis detection runs before any other processing:

1. Created agent/crisis_hook.py with crisis detection patterns
2. Wired check_crisis() into run_conversation() in run_agent.py
3. Crisis messages return immediately with 988 Lifeline resources
4. 16 tests pass

Crisis detection:
- 988, suicide, self-harm keywords
- Hopelessness signals
- Planning indicators
- Confidence scoring (threshold 0.7)

Response includes:
- 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call/text 988)
- Crisis Text Line (741741)
- International resources

Fixes #677
