Adds optional terminal tool parameters that let agents receive only the first lines, last lines, or both from a command's final output while leaving the live terminal output visible to users. This is gated by the terminal-tail feature flag and updates the tool descriptions to steer agents away from piping through head, tail, or similar filters. Closes AI-36 Release Notes: - Let agents use the terminal tool with builtin "head/tail" so they don't have to pipe to head/tail and lose incremental output
