refactor(prompts): replace markdown tables with bullet lists, harden Oracle protection

Convert all markdown tables in Sisyphus and dynamic-agent-prompt-builder
to plain bullet lists for cleaner prompt rendering.

Add explicit Oracle safeguards:
- Hard Block: background_cancel(all=true) when Oracle running
- Hard Block: delivering final answer before collecting Oracle result
- Anti-Pattern: background_cancel(all=true) and skipping Oracle
- Oracle section: NEVER cancel, collect via background_output first
- Background Result Collection: split cancel/wait into separate steps
  with explicit NEVER use background_cancel(all=true) instruction

### Before Delivering Final Answer:
- Cancel disposable background tasks (explore, librarian) individually via \`background_cancel(taskId="...")\`
- **Always wait for Oracle**: Oracle takes 20+ min by design and always provides valuable independent analysis from a different angle — even when you already have enough context. Collect Oracle results via \`background_output\` before answering.
- When Oracle is running, cancel disposable tasks individually instead of using \`background_cancel(all=true)\`.
- Cancel DISPOSABLE background tasks (explore, librarian) individually via \`background_cancel(taskId=\"...\")\`
- **NEVER use \`background_cancel(all=true)\`.** Always cancel individually by taskId.
- **Always wait for Oracle**: When Oracle is running and you have gathered enough context from your own exploration, your next action is \`background_output\` on Oracle — NOT delivering a final answer. Oracle's value is highest when you think you don't need it.
