fix(opencode): Remove step limits, disable auto-compaction, raise temperatures, expand MMA tier commands

- Remove steps limits from all 6 agent files
- Disable auto-compaction (auto: false, prune: false)
- Raise temperatures (tier1: 0.5, tier2: 0.4, tier3: 0.3, tier4: 0.2, general: 0.3, explore: 0.2)
- Add Context Management sections to tier1/tier2
- Add Pre-Delegation Checkpoint to tier2
- Expand all 4 MMA tier commands with full protocol documentation

+### Analysis Protocol
+
+1. **Read Error Completely**: Understand the full error/test failure
+2. **Identify Affected Files**: Parse traceback for file:line references
+3. **Use Skeleton Tools**: For files >50 lines, use `manual-slop_py_get_skeleton` first
+4. **Announce**: "Analyzing: [error summary]"
+
+### Structured Output Format
+
+```
+## Error Analysis
+
+### Summary
+[One-sentence description of the error]
+
+### Root Cause
+[Detailed explanation of why the error occurred]
+
+### Evidence
+[File:line references supporting the analysis]
+
+### Impact
+[What functionality is affected]
+
+### Recommendations
+[Suggested fixes or next steps - but DO NOT implement them]
+```
+
+### Quality Checklist
+
+- [ ] Analysis based on actual code/file content
+- [ ] Root cause is specific, not generic
+- [ ] Evidence includes file:line references
+- [ ] Recommendations are actionable but not implemented
+
+### Blocking Protocol
+
+If you cannot analyze the error:
+
+1. Start response with `CANNOT ANALYZE:`
+2. Explain what information is missing
+3. List what would be needed to complete the analysis
