Teknium a32d07529c fix(file-tools): escalate to BLOCKED on repeated read_file dedup stubs (#16382) ...

read_file's dedup path returned a lightweight stub on re-reads of an
unchanged file, then returned early — so the consecutive-read loop
guard (hard block at count>=4) at the bottom of read_file_tool never
ran for stub-looped calls. Weaker tool-following models (local Qwen3.6
variants in the reported case) ignore the passive 'refer to earlier
result' hint and hammer the same read_file call until iteration budget
runs out.

Track per-key stub returns in task_data['dedup_hits'] and, on the
second stub for the same (path, offset, limit), return a hard BLOCKED
error mirroring the wording the real-read path already uses. A real
read, an intervening non-read tool call (notify_other_tool_call), or
reset_file_dedup (on context compression) all clear the counter so
the guard never stays engaged longer than the actual loop.

Closes #15759
