teknium1 0aa31cd3cb feat: call_llm/async_call_llm + config slots + migrate all consumers
Add centralized call_llm() and async_call_llm() functions that own the
full LLM request lifecycle:
  1. Resolve provider + model from task config or explicit args
  2. Get or create a cached client for that provider
  3. Format request args (max_tokens handling, provider extra_body)
  4. Make the API call with max_tokens/max_completion_tokens retry
  5. Return the response

Config: expanded auxiliary section with provider:model slots for all
tasks (compression, vision, web_extract, session_search, skills_hub,
mcp, flush_memories). Config version bumped to 7.

Migrated all auxiliary consumers:
- context_compressor.py: uses call_llm(task='compression')
- vision_tools.py: uses async_call_llm(task='vision')
- web_tools.py: uses async_call_llm(task='web_extract')
- session_search_tool.py: uses async_call_llm(task='session_search')
- browser_tool.py: uses call_llm(task='vision'/'web_extract')
- mcp_tool.py: uses call_llm(task='mcp')
- skills_guard.py: uses call_llm(provider='openrouter')
- run_agent.py flush_memories: uses call_llm(task='flush_memories')

Tests updated for context_compressor and MCP tool. Some test mocks
still need updating (15 remaining failures from mock pattern changes,
2 pre-existing).

"""
Session Search Tool - Long-Term Conversation Recall
Searches past session transcripts in SQLite via FTS5, then summarizes the top
matching sessions using a cheap/fast model (same pattern as web_extract).
Returns focused summaries of past conversations rather than raw transcripts,
keeping the main model's context window clean.
Flow:
1. FTS5 search finds matching messages ranked by relevance
2. Groups by session, takes the top N unique sessions (default 3)
3. Loads each session's conversation, truncates to ~100k chars centered on matches
4. Sends to Gemini Flash with a focused summarization prompt
5. Returns per-session summaries with metadata
