feat(content-router): lossless-excluded compaction (grep/log/json) + enable in coding/general personas (#1762)
Builds on the now-merged personas (#1732). Two pieces:

### 1. Lossless compaction for EXCLUDED tool output
Excluded tools (Read/Grep/Glob/Write/Edit) stay out of *lossy*
compression, but their output is compacted by detected shape:
| shape | transform | guarantee |
|---|---|---|
| grep (SEARCH) | ripgrep --heading fold | **byte-lossless**
(`search_unheading` recovers) |
| log (BUILD_OUTPUT) | ANSI strip + run-collapse | **byte-lossless**
modulo non-semantic ANSI |
| json | whitespace-minify | **data-lossless** (`json.loads` equal), NOT
byte-exact |

Source code + glob path-lists → verbatim. grep gated on
`_try_detect_search` (the general/Magika classifier calls grep-over-code
SOURCE_CODE and would miss it). Off by default
(`compact_excluded_lossless`).

### 2. Enable it in the coding/general personas
`compact_excluded_lossless=True` on the coding + general profiles,
threaded via `proxy_env` + `proxy_pipeline_kwargs` + a per-request
`ContentRouter.apply` override. So `HEADROOM_SAVINGS_PROFILE=coding`
auto-folds excluded grep/log/json.

## Why
The coding persona was getting ~2.5% on OpenCode because its dominant
traffic (Grep/Read) is excluded, and RTK (shell-only, lossy) never sees
OpenCode's *native* tools. This recovers those savings losslessly.

## Measured (end-to-end via coding-persona kwargs, real `rg` output)
41,589 → 26,562 chars (**−36%**), `router:excluded:lossless_search`,
byte-recoverable.

## Accuracy
grep/log = byte-lossless → edit-safe. json = data-lossless (edit-caveat
for read-then-edit-JSON, documented). Read of source code → untouched
(tested).

47 tests (personas + all three tiers + persona-enablement + end-to-end).
ruff + mypy clean. **No personas duplication** — rebased onto main after
#1732 landed. Supersedes #1755.

"""Bash-search lossless fold.
`bash` is not an excluded tool, so its output normally takes the lossy strategy
path. But a read-only search run through it (grep/rg/git grep) produces byte-
losslessly foldable output — the router detects the *command* and folds it with
the same ripgrep --heading transform excluded Grep gets, instead of lossy
compression. Non-search bash commands (cat/build/mutate) are untouched.
