voidborne-d a32b325d06 fix(tools): invalidate read_file dedup cache on write_file and patch
write_file_tool and patch_tool both call _update_read_timestamp to
refresh the staleness tracker after writing, but they never invalidate
the dedup cache entries for the written path.  The dedup cache keys are
(resolved_path, offset, limit) → mtime tuples populated by read_file_tool.

On filesystems where a read and write land in the same mtime second (or
when mtime granularity is 1s), the cached and current mtime are equal,
so the dedup check incorrectly returns a 'File unchanged since last
read' stub — even though the file was just overwritten.

The agent then sees stale content (or a stale 'File not found' error)
and enters expensive error-recovery loops, burning API calls.

Fix: add _invalidate_dedup_for_path(filepath, task_id) that removes all
dedup entries whose resolved path matches the written file.  Called from
_update_read_timestamp so both write_file_tool and patch_tool benefit
automatically.  Scoped to the writing task_id — other tasks' caches are
not affected.

6 regression tests added covering:
- read→write→read within same mtime second (core #13144 scenario)
- invalidation across all offset/limit combinations
- isolation: writing file A does not invalidate file B's cache
- isolation: writing in task A does not invalidate task B's cache
- _invalidate_dedup_for_path safety on missing task / empty dedup

All 25 tests pass (19 existing + 6 new).

Fixes #13144
