The top-level 'agents' array property in agentcore.json is renamed to 'runtimes' to better reflect the resource type (AgentCoreRuntime). This is a schema-only rename — no changes to CLI commands, flags, or user-facing strings. Scope: JSON schema, Zod schemas, LLM-compacted types, deployed-state, all source references, tests, and documentation.
Rename CLI flags from agent terminology to runtime:
- --agent <name> → --runtime <name> (with -a → -r short alias)
- --agent-runtime-id → --runtime-id
- --agent-arn → --runtime-arn
- --agents → --runtimes (gateway primitive)
Update resolveAgent() to accept { runtime?: string }.
Update all action handlers, option types, error messages, and tests.
Keep --agent-id and --agent-alias-id unchanged (Bedrock Agent IDs).
Keep 'agentcore add agent' / 'agentcore remove agent' commands unchanged.
… make type optional - Rename `agentName` to `runtimeName` in McpRuntimeBindingSchema and all consuming code (attach.ts, llm-compacted types, JSON schema) - Make `type: "AgentCoreRuntime"` optional on AgentEnvSpec for backward compatibility; stop emitting it in new runtime configs - Update tests to match new schema shape

The integ test was still using --agent for online-eval commands, which was renamed to --runtime in the CLI flags rename commit. Also removes unused addOnlineEvalArgs variable.
