fix(prompt-hook): cap injection under Claude Code's 10k inline limit (#1694) (#1769)

Claude Code persists hook stdout over 10,000 characters to a file and shows
the model a 2 KB preview. The prompt-hook MAX of 16,000 always hit that path
once explore filled the budget. Cap at 9,000 (exported + unit-tested) so the
payload lands inline, with headroom for the wrapper and projectPath nudges.

Lands the approach from #1695 with a testable helper.
