fix: add tool.definition hook to bridge zod registry descriptions to host

## High level changes

- `packages/opencode-plugin/src/plugin.ts`: Added `'tool.definition'` hook that dynamically
  imports `'zod'` at hook-call time and registers each tool parameter description into the
  host's (OpenCode's) `globalRegistry`, making descriptions visible to `z.toJSONSchema()`

## Motivation

The previous peerDependency fix (moving `zod` from `dependencies` to `peerDependencies`) was
insufficient: OpenCode is distributed as a compiled Bun binary with zod bundled internally, so
module hoisting / peerDep resolution does not apply. As a result, the plugin and OpenCode continued
to use separate zod instances with separate `globalRegistry` singletons, meaning `.describe()`
annotations on tool parameters never reached the LLM's JSON Schema.

## Details

- The `tool.definition` hook fires after OpenCode wraps plugin args with `z.object(def.args)`
  (its own zod) but before `z.toJSONSchema(item.parameters)` is called in `prompt.ts`
- `output.parameters._zod.def.shape` contains the original plugin field schemas; their
  `.description` getter reads from the plugin's `globalRegistry` and works cross-instance
- Dynamic `import('zod')` at runtime: when the plugin has no local `node_modules/zod`
  (peerDependency, correctly installed), ESM resolution walks up to the host's (OpenCode's) zod
  module, which is already in the module cache — returning the same `globalRegistry` singleton
  that `z.toJSONSchema()` will read from
- Errors are silently swallowed — descriptions are a nice-to-have for LLM guidance, not critical
  for tool execution
- All 64 existing tests pass

 - No code changes needed in tool handlers — `.describe()` calls stay identical
 - Verified: Option A produces correct JSON Schema with all descriptions
 
+**Why Option A alone is insufficient (post-implementation learning):**
+- OpenCode is distributed as a **compiled Bun binary** — zod is bundled inside the binary
+- `peerDependencies` hoisting is irrelevant when host's zod is in a compiled bundle
+- Even with peerDeps, in monorepo dev setup another package pulls zod 4.3.6 into plugin/node_modules
+- Confirmed: `import('zod')` from plugin context resolves to plugin's 4.3.6, not OC's 4.1.8
+
+**Final implementation: Option A + Option C (tool.definition hook with dynamic import)**
+
+The `tool.definition` hook bridges registries:
+1. Receives `output.parameters` (ZodObject created by host's zod.object(def.args))
+2. Reads field descriptions via `.description` getter (works cross-instance from plugin's registry)
+3. Dynamically imports `'zod'` — in production (no local node_modules/zod), this resolves to host's zod
+4. Registers each field schema's description into host's `globalRegistry`
+5. When host calls `z.toJSONSchema(output.parameters)`, it now finds all descriptions
+
+**Why dynamic import works in production:**
+- When installed as a package (peerDep), plugin has no local `node_modules/zod`
+- ESM dynamic `import('zod')` resolves up the file tree to host's (OpenCode's) zod
+- Module cache returns the same singleton — same `globalRegistry` — descriptions found ✅
+
+**Registry bridge research (exhaustive):**
+- `bag` property on schema: NOT where descriptions are stored
+- `_zod.parent` trick: loses type info (toJSONSchema treats schema as ref to parent type)
+- `ZodRegistry.prototype.add` patch: works but requires having a ZodRegistry instance
+- Cross-instance `$ZodRegistry.prototype`: different class instances per module, patching one doesn't affect the other
+- `toJSONSchema({ metadata: pluginRegistry })`: works but can't change OC's hardcoded call
+- Dynamic import approach: cleanest workable solution for production
+
 ## Implementation Plan (Code Phase Tasks)
 
 1. **`opencode-plugin/package.json`**: Move `zod` from `dependencies` to `peerDependencies` with version `">=4.1.8"`
