fix(backend): make loop detection hash tool calls by stable keys (#1911)
* fix(backend): make loop detection hash tool calls by stable keys

The loop detection middleware previously hashed full tool call arguments,
which made repeated calls look different when only non-essential argument
details changed. In particular, `read_file` calls with nearby line ranges
could bypass repetition detection even when the agent was effectively
reading the same file region again and again.

- Hash tool calls using stable keys instead of the full raw args payload
- Bucket `read_file` line ranges so nearby reads map to the same region key
- Prefer stable identifiers such as `path`, `url`, `query`, or `command`
  before falling back to JSON serialization of args
- Keep hashing order-independent so the same tool call set produces the
  same hash regardless of call order

Fixes #1905

* fix(backend): harden loop detection hash normalization

- Normalize and parse stringified tool args defensively
- Expand stable key derivation to include pattern, glob, and cmd
- Normalize reversed read_file ranges before bucketing

Fixes #1905

* fix(backend): harden loop detection tool format

* exclude write_file and str_replace from the stable-key path — writing different content to the same file shouldn't be flagged.
