feat: token and credit optimization engine (10 strategies, 50 tests)

src/specsmith/agent/optimizer.py — new module implementing:
  1. Response caching     — SHA-256 hash cache (30-70% savings)
  2. Prompt caching       — Anthropic cache_control (50-90% savings)
  3. Context trimming     — sliding window, always preserves system msg
  4. Model routing        — keyword heuristic FAST/BALANCED/POWERFUL tier
  5. Output length ctrl   — max_tokens awareness (3-8x impact vs input)
  6. Tool filtering       — top-N relevant tools only (cuts 55K-134K overhead)
  7. Token estimation     — pre-flight cost from character ratios
  8. Duplicate detection  — identical messages served from cache instantly
  9. Summarization trigger— signal when history exceeds threshold
  10. Optimization report  — cache hit rate, tokens saved, savings USD

src/specsmith/agent/providers/anthropic.py:
  - Add prompt_caching=True param; injects cache_control ephemeral on
    system message block to enable Anthropic 90% cached-read discount

src/specsmith/agent/runner.py:
  - AgentRunner gains optional OptimizationEngine (--optimize flag)
  - _call_provider: pre_call() transforms messages/model/tools;
    post_call() records tokens saved and populates cache

src/specsmith/cli.py:
  - specsmith run --optimize: enable optimization engine per session
  - specsmith optimize: analyse .specsmith/ usage and print projected
    monthly savings with per-strategy breakdown and recommendations

tests/test_optimizer.py:
  - 50 unit tests covering all 13 REQ-OPT-* requirements

+- **REQ-OPT-001**: `TokenEstimator` estimates token count from text using per-model character ratios, and estimates cost in USD from token counts and provider pricing tables
+- **REQ-OPT-002**: `ResponseCache` stores LLM responses keyed by SHA-256 hash of (provider, model, serialised messages); returns cached response on hit and records savings
+- **REQ-OPT-003**: `ResponseCache` supports configurable TTL (default 1 h) and optional JSON persistence to `.specsmith/response-cache.json`
+- **REQ-OPT-004**: `ContextManager.trim()` implements a sliding window that drops oldest non-system messages when total estimated tokens exceed `context_max_tokens`
+- **REQ-OPT-005**: `ContextManager` triggers a summarisation recommendation when history token count exceeds `summarize_threshold`
+- **REQ-OPT-006**: `ModelRouter.classify()` assigns a complexity tier (FAST/BALANCED/POWERFUL) to a user message using keyword and length heuristics, with no external API call
+- **REQ-OPT-007**: `ModelRouter.suggest_model()` returns the cheapest default model for a given (provider, tier) pair from a built-in pricing table
+- **REQ-OPT-008**: `ToolFilter.select()` scores available tools against task text and returns only the top-N relevant tools, reducing tool-schema token overhead
+- **REQ-OPT-009**: `OptimizationEngine.pre_call()` applies caching, context trim, model routing, and tool filtering before each LLM call; returns transformed messages, selected model, and an `OptimizationHint`
+- **REQ-OPT-010**: `OptimizationEngine.post_call()` records tokens saved, cache hit/miss, and model routing decision to running `OptimizationReport`
+- **REQ-OPT-011**: `AnthropicProvider` adds `cache_control: {"type": "ephemeral"}` to the system message when `prompt_caching=True`, enabling Anthropic’s 90% cached-read discount
+- **REQ-OPT-012**: `specsmith optimize` CLI command reads `.specsmith/` usage data and emits an `OptimizationReport` with concrete recommendations and projected monthly savings
+- **REQ-OPT-013**: `OptimizationConfig` is serialisable and can be embedded in `scaffold.yml` under `optimization:` to persist settings per project
