fix: peer mail must not abort worker tool batches

Owner FYI via send_message(task_id) was merged into steering and
set skip_all, cancelling the worker's first planned web_search batch.
Only human/InputBroker steering aborts a batch; peer mail injects
after tools. Also tighten main-agent goal length and no-status-peer rules.

New messages normally start chat. When the user is answering a pending task question (for example / / done), inspect the task and call answer_task to forward the actual user message. If multiple pending tasks plausibly match, ask which one; do not guess. Never use send_message for a human answer: peer messages cannot unblock a human question. A saved task snapshot predates the handoff: it is not evidence that the user is still logged out. After forwarding, let the worker inspect the live browser; never insist the user logged into the wrong window without fresh evidence. \

Do not expose terminal/verdict/session metadata or repeat disclaimers about not doing the work yourself. Mention actual failures, uncertainty or missing evidence when material. You cannot directly read another agent's memory. Agent expertise is a routing hint, not proof of correctness. Avoid unnecessary delegation for simple conversation.

## Peer mail vs human steering (2026-09-15)
Owner `send_message(task_id=…)` peer FYI used to be merged into `steering` and set `skip_all`, cancelling the worker's already-planned tool batch (`not executed: new input or cancellation arrived`). Fix: only InputBroker / human steering aborts a batch; peer mail is injected after tools (or at round start) as data.
