teknium1 21ff0d39ad feat: iteration budget pressure via tool result injection
Two-tier warning system that nudges the LLM as it approaches
max_iterations, injected into the last tool result JSON rather
than as a separate system message:

- Caution (70%): {"_budget_warning": "[BUDGET: 42/60...]"}
- Warning (90%): {"_budget_warning": "[BUDGET WARNING: 54/60...]"}

For JSON tool results, adds a _budget_warning field to the existing
dict. For plain text results, appends the warning as text.

Key properties:
- No system messages injected mid-conversation
- No changes to message structure
- Prompt cache stays valid
- Configurable thresholds (0.7 / 0.9)
- Can be disabled: _budget_pressure_enabled = False

Inspired by PR #421 (@Bartok9) and issue #414.
8 tests covering thresholds, edge cases, JSON and text injection.
