c7720d41bb fix(hooks): context-monitor noise — loop-detection false positives + per-call cost-warning spam (#2486)
* fix(hooks): context-monitor noise — loop-detection false positives and per-call cost-warning spam

Two independent noise sources in the PostToolUse context monitor injected
agent-facing warnings on nearly every tool call:

1. LOOP WARNING false positives. hashToolCall() hashed only the first 160
   chars of a Bash command, so distinct long commands sharing a prefix
   (heredocs, long one-liners) collided and consecutive DIFFERENT calls
   looked like a stuck loop. Additionally LOOP_THRESHOLD=3 against a
   5-entry ring buffer fired on legitimate repetition (retries, polling).
   Fix: hash the full command (digest truncated, not the input — same
   treatment the Edit/Write branch already got), and require all 5 of the
   last 5 calls to be identical before warning.

2. COST NOTICE spam. run() deduped warnings on exact message text, but the
   cost figure embedded in the text moves on nearly every call, so once a
   session crossed $5 a 'new' COST NOTICE was injected per tool call for
   the rest of the session. Context warnings had the same defect via the
   remaining-% figure. Fix: dedupe on a stable per-tier key
   (cost:notice/warning/critical, context:warning/critical, scope) so each
   tier fires exactly once and re-fires only on genuine escalation. The
   existing ECC_CONTEXT_MONITOR_COST_WARNINGS opt-out is unchanged.

Tests: loop threshold updated (5-of-5 fires, 4-of-5 does not), long
shared-prefix Bash hash regression, and a run()-level tier-dedupe test
(notice fires once, silent on cost tick, re-emits on escalation).
