feat(tui): Add /agent slash command for ACP agent selection

Add a new /agent slash command that lets users switch between ACP agents
at runtime. The agent selection is tracked as "pending" and only applied
when a new prompt is submitted, preventing disruption to in-flight turns.

Key changes:
- Add SlashCommand::Agent variant with ACP agent picker popup
- Add list_available_agents() to expose available ACP agents from registry
- Track pending_agent state in ChatWidget with visual indicator
- Refactor spawn_acp_agent() to support dynamic model switching via loop
- Add SetPendingAgent app event for coordinating UI state
- Disable /model picker in ACP mode (agents use /agent instead)
- Add 7 new E2E tests verifying agent picker behavior
- Fix flaky tool_parallelism test timing threshold

+### Agent Picker UI Support
+
+The registry provides `AcpAgentInfo` and `list_available_agents()` for populating the TUI's agent picker:
+
+```rust
+pub struct AcpAgentInfo {
+    pub model_name: &'static str,     // e.g., "mock-model"
+    pub display_name: &'static str,   // e.g., "Mock Agent"
+    pub description: &'static str,    // e.g., "Mock ACP agent for testing"
+}
+```
+
+`AVAILABLE_AGENTS` is a static list of all registered agents. The TUI's `/agent` command calls `list_available_agents()` to populate the selection popup.
+
 ### Embedded Provider Info
 
 ACP providers embed their configuration directly in `AcpAgentConfig` via `AcpProviderInfo`:
