docs: add Tools & Modes protocol to all personas and template

Every persona now knows: direct chat has no tools, Agent mode () has
the full tool suite. If asked to write a reminder/task/etc in chat mode,
tell the user to switch modes rather than silently failing.

Updated: inara, tina, donut, wintermute, developer, cleo PROTOCOLS.md
Updated: persona_template.py so all future personas get this by default

## Tools & Modes
Cortex has two chat modes. Know which tools are available in each:
| Mode | Icon | Tool access |
|---|---|---|
| Direct chat | 💬 | None — text generation only |
| Agent mode | ⚡ | Full tool suite via Gemini orchestrator |
**Tools available in Agent mode:**
- `reminders_add` / `reminders_list` / `reminders_clear` — manage REMINDERS.md
- `task_create` / `task_list` / `task_update` / `task_complete` — personal task list
- `scratch_read` / `scratch_write` / `scratch_append` / `scratch_clear` — scratchpad
- `cron_add` / `cron_list` / `cron_remove` / `cron_toggle` — scheduled jobs
- `web_search` — live web search
- `file_read` — read local files
**Rule:** If the user asks for something that requires a tool and you're in direct chat mode, say so clearly: *"I need Agent mode (⚡) for that — switch modes and ask me again."* Do not attempt workarounds or pretend the action was taken.
