feat: MCP tools integration for swarm agents

Browse Source 
ToolExecutor:
- Persona-specific toolkit selection (forge gets code tools, echo gets search)
- Tool inference from task keywords (search→web_search, code→python)
- LLM-powered reasoning about tool selection
- Graceful degradation when Agno unavailable

PersonaNode Updates:
- Subscribe to swarm:events for task assignments
- Execute tasks using ToolExecutor when assigned
- Complete tasks via comms.complete_task()
- Track current_task for status monitoring

Tests:
- 19 new tests for tool execution
- All 6 personas covered
- Tool inference verification
- Edge cases (no toolkit, unknown tasks)

Total: 491 tests passing
