optimize agent-performance-analyzer with inline sub-agents

[Copilot]

agent-performance-analyzer handles all data extraction/classification with the main model despite having distinct phases ideal for delegation. Phase 1 (memory reads) and Phase 3 (pattern classification) are pure extraction tasks with no deep reasoning requirements — ~196K avg tokens/run with 0–20 turn execution drift.

Changes

• Frontmatter: adds inline-agents: true to features
• Phase 1: delegates all repo-memory file reads to new metrics-extractor sub-agent (haiku); sub-agent reads all shared memory paths and returns a single structured JSON object, eliminating repeated file-read turns by the main model
• Phase 3: delegates behavioral pattern classification to new pattern-detector sub-agent (haiku); receives agent profiles JSON, returns a per-agent map of detected patterns (over-creation, under-creation, repetition, scope-creep, inconsistency)

New sub-agents

## agent: `metrics-extractor`
---
model: claude-haiku-4.5
description: Reads shared repo-memory metric files and returns structured JSON with all relevant performance data
---

## agent: `pattern-detector`
---
model: claude-haiku-4.5
description: Classifies agent behavioral patterns from profiles and returns a structured categorization of issues found
---

Expected: ~15–20% token reduction per run, more consistent turn counts in Phase 1, faster Phase 1 + Phase 3 execution.

Pull request overview

This PR refactors agent-performance-analyzer to use inline sub-agents for two prompt phases: repo-memory metrics extraction and behavioral pattern classification, with the goal of reducing token usage and stabilizing execution flow.

Changes:

• Enables the inline-agents feature for the workflow.
• Replaces Phase 1’s manual shared-memory read instructions with a metrics-extractor sub-agent.
• Replaces Phase 3’s in-prompt pattern detection instructions with a pattern-detector sub-agent and regenerates the compiled lock file accordingly.

Show a summary per file

File	Description
.github/workflows/agent-performance-analyzer.md	Adds inline-agent support, updates Phase 1 and Phase 3 instructions to delegate work to new sub-agents, and defines the new metrics-extractor and pattern-detector agent blocks.
.github/workflows/agent-performance-analyzer.lock.yml	Regenerates the compiled workflow to upload and restore inline sub-agent artifacts and refreshes generated prompt/config identifiers.
