Argument parser:
- Delete ``strix/tools/argument_parser.py`` and its tests. The SDK
validates and types tool arguments via Pydantic before they hit our
wrappers, and the in-container tool server receives JSON-typed
kwargs over the wire. The string-coercion belt-and-suspenders is no
longer pulling its weight.
XML → JSON / typed structures:
- ``create_vulnerability_report``: ``cvss_breakdown`` is now a
``dict[str, str]`` of the 8 metrics; ``code_locations`` is a
``list[dict]``. No more XML parsing in the tool or the renderer.
- ``check_duplicate``: the dedup judge now emits a single JSON object
instead of an ``<dedupe_result>`` block. Strict JSON parser handles
optional code-fence wrappers.
- ``agent_finish``: completion report posted to the parent inbox is a
JSON object (``kind``, ``from``, ``agent_id``, ``success``,
``summary``, ``findings``, ``recommendations``) rather than a
hand-rolled ``<agent_completion_report>`` XML envelope.
- ``create_agent``: identity preamble + inherited-context markers are
plain bracketed labels rather than ``<agent_delegation>`` /
``<inherited_context_from_parent>`` envelopes.
- ``inject_messages_filter``: peer messages get a
``[Message from agent <id> | type=... | priority=...]`` header line
instead of an ``<inter_agent_message>`` envelope.
- Crash + system-warning messages: bracketed labels, no XML.
- System prompt: the inter-agent block now describes the new header
format and drops the "never echo XML envelope" rule.
- ``strix/llm/utils.py``: deleted. ``clean_content`` collapsed into a
one-line blank-line normalizer in the agent-message renderer (the
XML envelope scrub had nothing left to scrub).
Tests updated to match the new shapes.
