Teknium d4cec15b47 refactor(tools): first-wave simplification of tools/ (file ops split, lazy_deps, code_exec, approval, browser, delegate, mcp, skills, terminal, voice, media)
Behavior-neutral structural pass over tools/*: god-file extractions into
sibling modules (file_operations_common/lint/search, file_tools_paths/
read_tracking/write, code_execution_env/rpc, tool_search_catalog/names/
validation, tts_command_provider, ...), duplicate helper unification,
if/elif -> dispatch tables, dead-code removal, docstring compaction.
Tool schemas (get_tool_definitions) verified byte-identical to base.

"""Todo tool: in-memory, revisioned task list for multi-step work.
State lives on the AIAgent (one per session), is re-injected after context
compression, and every write bumps a monotonic revision so UI clients can
reject stale updates. One ``todo_list`` tool: pass ``todos`` to write, omit to
read; every call returns the full list. No system-prompt mutation.
