fix(honcho): suppress claude self-observation to eliminate tool call noise

Always set observeMe: false for the AI peer so tool calls, file reads, and
git operations don't pollute Honcho conclusions. In directional mode, also
enable observeOthers: true so the deriver builds jonathan-focused insights
instead of logging what claude did.

Switches default observationMode to directional via config.
