v0.13.0 Option A — OMC_MCP_AUTO_SUMMARY for shim-free token savings

Adds opt-in post-processor that auto-summarizes any MCP response whose
`text` field exceeds OMC_MCP_AUTO_SUMMARY_THRESHOLD bytes (default 1024).
The full body is cached in the `_auto_summary_cache` namespace, the LLM
receives a tiny envelope with preview + expand_with instructions, and
omc_memory_recall(content_hash_str, namespace=_auto_summary_cache) is
the lossless expansion path.

Measured: 27× LLM-token savings on an 18KB recall response (673 bytes vs
18,204 bytes). No new MCP tooling needed — uses the existing MemoryStore
as the cache, naturally dedupes via the Axis 2 dedup pool.

Activation:
  OMC_MCP_AUTO_SUMMARY=1                     # opt in
  OMC_MCP_AUTO_SUMMARY_THRESHOLD=1024        # default

Lossless: the full body is always recoverable. Skip rules: only triggers
on responses with a `text` field; small responses and metadata responses
pass through unchanged.

This is the substrate-MCP path A from the v0.13 design conversation:
shim-less, no client-side changes, no LLM training, drop-in via env flag.
Path B (api-proxy shim that rewrites the LLM's full context) is v0.14
future work.
