fix: support Anthropic-compatible endpoints for third-party providers

Three bugs prevented providers like MiniMax from using their
Anthropic-compatible endpoints (e.g. api.minimax.io/anthropic):

1. _VALID_API_MODES was missing 'anthropic_messages', so explicit
   api_mode config was silently rejected and defaulted to
   chat_completions.

2. API-key provider resolution hardcoded api_mode to 'chat_completions'
   without checking model config or detecting Anthropic-compatible URLs.

3. run_agent.py auto-detection only recognized api.anthropic.com, not
   third-party endpoints using the /anthropic URL convention.

Fixes:
- Add 'anthropic_messages' to _VALID_API_MODES
- API-key providers now check model config api_mode and auto-detect
  URLs ending in /anthropic
- run_agent.py and fallback logic detect /anthropic URL convention
- 5 new tests covering all scenarios

Users can now either:
- Set MINIMAX_BASE_URL=https://api.minimax.io/anthropic (auto-detected)
- Set api_mode: anthropic_messages in model config (explicit)
- Use custom_providers with api_mode: anthropic_messages

 ### `_last_resolved_tool_names` is a process-global in `model_tools.py`
 `_run_single_child()` in `delegate_tool.py` saves and restores this global around subagent execution. If you add new code that reads this global, be aware it may be temporarily stale during child agent runs.
 
-### DO NOT hardcode cross-tool references in schema descriptions
-Tool schema descriptions must not mention tools from other toolsets by name (e.g., `browser_navigate` saying "prefer web_search"). Those tools may be unavailable (missing API keys, disabled toolset), causing the model to hallucinate calls to non-existent tools. If a cross-reference is needed, add it dynamically in `get_tool_definitions()` in `model_tools.py` — see the `browser_navigate` / `execute_code` post-processing blocks for the pattern.

 ### Tests must not write to `~/.hermes/`
 The `_isolate_hermes_home` autouse fixture in `tests/conftest.py` redirects `HERMES_HOME` to a temp dir. Never hardcode `~/.hermes/` paths in tests.

-### Context Length Detection
-
-Hermes automatically detects your model's context length by querying the endpoint's `/v1/models` response. For most setups this works out of the box. If detection fails (the model name doesn't match, the endpoint doesn't expose `/v1/models`, etc.), Hermes falls back to a high default and probes downward on context-length errors.
-
-To set the context length explicitly, add `context_length` to your model config:
-
-```yaml
-model:
-  default: "qwen3.5:9b"
-  base_url: "http://localhost:8080/v1"
-  context_length: 131072  # tokens
-```
-
-This takes highest priority — it overrides auto-detection, cached values, and hardcoded defaults.
-
-:::tip When to set this manually
-- Your model shows "2M context" in the status bar (detection failed)
-- You want to limit context below the model's maximum (e.g., 8k on a 128k model to save VRAM)
-- You're running behind a proxy that doesn't expose `/v1/models`
