fix(agent): prevent todo reminders from resuming runs after hard stops (#7955)
* fix(agent): stop todo reminders after run hard limits

Respect loop_capped and token_capped before scheduling completion reminders, and include the behavior in the assembly policy fingerprint.

Cover sync and async agent graphs, blocked post-stop tools, preserved Todo state, and continuation from the same thread checkpoint. Validation: 316 targeted tests passed.

* docs(agent): explain todo behavior after hard stops

Document that loop and token hard stops suppress Todo completion reminders while retaining unfinished tasks for later runs.

* docs(changelog): record todo hard-stop fix

Add English and Chinese Unreleased entries referencing issue #7953.

* fix(agent): mark safety stops with partial responses

* fix(agent): honor provider stops before todo retries

* docs(agent): clarify todo behavior after provider stops

* test(agent): isolate todo safety-chain runtime dependencies
