refactor(config): Make tool prompts configurable via prompts.yaml#450
Conversation
Move the LLM-visible description from each tool's Definition() into config/prompts.go so users can override per-tool descriptions in .infer/prompts.yaml under the new `tools` key (or via INFER_PROMPTS_TOOLS_<NAME>_DESCRIPTION). Defaults are unchanged — a missing or empty entry falls back to the verbatim string previously hardcoded in each tool, courtesy of mergeToolDefaults backfill. MCP tool descriptions remain runtime-sourced from the MCP server. Parameter descriptions stay in code (some are dynamic, e.g. Bash whitelist enum) — out of scope for this change. Closes #446
