feat(agent): make the agentic loop the primary brain path

thinkAndAct/thinkAndActStream now try the native function-calling loop
first for fresh conversations; in-flight legacy flows (skill sessions,
workflows, execution states, pending proposals) stay on the legacy stack
until they finish. NOFX_AGENT_V2=off restores the old routing entirely.
