P3 backend: files, skills, routines, claw chat with LIVE taint plumbing

- tc-files: BlobStore trait + LocalBlobStore (traversal-proof keys); wired
  through Runtime (config storage.data_dir in deployments)
- File tools: files.write/files.list (workspace-internal) + files.delete
  (gated FileDeletion — tested: file survives pending, gone after approve);
  GET /api/openclaw/files + /api/shared-drive/files (drive/agent scoped)
- Skills: catalog/library + idempotent install with counter, uninstall;
  GET /api/skills[?clawId=], POST install/uninstall
- tc-scheduler: croner cron math (clock-controlled tests), SKIP LOCKED
  claim-and-advance firing REAL runs into dedicated '⏰ name' sessions
  (reused, exactly-once), paused routines skipped; routines API + agent
  tool routine.schedule; loop spawned in server
- Claw chat: 1:1 threads, chat.send enforcing the target's Other-Claws
  policy, chat.inbox whose output carries inter_agent taint; the run loop
  now ACCUMULATES taint from tool outputs into LoopState, classifies with
  it, and stamps steps + approvals — a poisoned inbox followed by
  email.send produces an approval whose taint_sources says inter_agent
- ScriptedProvider scenario selection now keys on the most recent marker
  (session history kept earlier markers alive)

132 Rust tests green.
