feat: migrate Forge agent to Python integration system

- Create ForgeIntegration class with custom processing for {{parameters}}, handoffs stripping, and name injection
- Add update-context scripts (bash and PowerShell) for Forge
- Register Forge in integration registry
- Update AGENTS.md with Forge documentation and special processing requirements section
- Add comprehensive test suite (11 tests, all passing)

Closes migration from release packaging to Python-based scaffolding for Forge agent.

+## Special Processing Requirements
+
+Some agents require custom processing beyond the standard template transformations:
+
+### Copilot Integration
+
+GitHub Copilot has unique requirements:
+- Commands use `.agent.md` extension (not `.md`)
+- Each command gets a companion `.prompt.md` file in `.github/prompts/`
+- Installs `.vscode/settings.json` with prompt file recommendations
+- Context file lives at `.github/copilot-instructions.md`

+1. Processes templates with `process_template()`
+2. Generates companion `.prompt.md` files
+3. Merges VS Code settings
+
+### Forge Integration
+
+Forge has special frontmatter and argument requirements:
+- Uses `{{parameters}}` instead of `$ARGUMENTS`
+- Strips `handoffs` frontmatter key (Forge-specific collaboration feature)
+- Injects `name` field into frontmatter when missing
+
+Implementation: Extends `IntegrationBase` with custom `setup()` method that:
+1. Processes templates with `process_template()` using `{{parameters}}`
+2. Applies Forge-specific transformations via `_apply_forge_transformations()`
+3. Strips unwanted frontmatter keys
+4. Injects missing `name` fields
+
+### Standard Markdown Agents
+
+Most agents (Bob, Claude, Windsurf, etc.) use `MarkdownIntegration`:
+- Simple subclass with just `key`, `config`, `registrar_config` set
+- Inherits standard processing from `MarkdownIntegration.setup()`
+- No custom processing needed
+
