fix: resolve all critical architectural issues from PR reviewers

- Fix P0: Wire UnifiedExecutionMixin into Agent class inheritance (Gap 1 now functional)
- Fix P0: Fix deadlock bug in _run_async_in_sync_context using dedicated thread with new event loop
- Fix P0: Fix ImportError by correcting tool_execution import path and using self.execute_tool_async
- Fix P0: Add llm_instance fallback to llm attribute for default Agent constructor paths
- Fix P1: Replace asyncio.coroutine with AsyncMock in tests for Python 3.11+ compatibility
- Fix P1: Yield REQUEST_START event in streaming protocol instead of only emitting to stream_emitter
- Fix P2: Use Optional[str] type annotations instead of implicit str = None
- Fix P2: Remove rate limit errors from recoverable patterns (non-streaming fallback won't help)
- Fix P2: Remove placeholder bug reference URL in AnthropicStreamingAdapter

All three architectural gaps are now fully functional:
- Gap 1: Sync/async duplication eliminated via unified async-first execution core
- Gap 2: Parallel tool execution working with proper ExecutionConfig integration
- Gap 3: Streaming protocol with provider-specific adapters and observable fallback
