Document the canonical ordering mechanism (Array.prototype.toSorted/sort shim in src/shared/agent-sort-shim.ts) and forbid ZWSP, U+2060, U+00AD, ANSI escape, and ASCII space prefixes. Reference sst/opencode#19127 as the upstream fix that will obsolete the shim.

The ZWSP-based core agent sort prefixes silently failed to produce the
canonical sisyphus -> hephaestus -> prometheus -> atlas order.
Empirical testing of OpenCode's Agent.list() sort behavior shows that
Unicode collation treats zero-width characters as ignorable at the primary
level, so ZWSP-prefixed names sorted alphabetically with non-core agents
interleaved (e.g. Sisyphus, athena, Atlas, explore, Hephaestus, ...).
This commit replaces the ZWSP prefixes with leading ASCII spaces in
descending lengths (sisyphus=4, hephaestus=3, prometheus=2, atlas=1).
ASCII spaces sort reliably before alphabetic characters in localeCompare
under all locales and render correctly in every terminal.
Changes:
- AGENT_LIST_SORT_PREFIXES: ZWSP -> leading spaces (4-3-2-1 descending)
- stripAgentListSortPrefix: now strips both legacy ZWSP and new leading
whitespace, preserving backward compatibility with existing sessions
- normalizeStoredAgentName / normalizeRegisteredAgentName: extract a
shared stripSortPrefix helper that handles both prefix formats
- agent-config-handler: resolve user-provided default_agent display
names through getAgentConfigKey before applying the runtime prefix,
so configs like default_agent="Hephaestus - Deep Agent" are normalized
- agent-runtime-name-sort.test.ts: new regression test simulating
OpenCode's exact sortBy logic (default_agent desc + name asc localeCompare)
to verify canonical core agent order under randomised input permutations
- AGENTS.md: document the empirical finding that ZWSP was broken, why
ASCII spaces work, and the descending prefix-length contract
Existing strip functions retain ZWSP support so legacy session state and
configs continue to resolve correctly without migration.
agent-key-remapper now unconditionally injects getAgentRuntimeName()
into the name field, ensuring OpenCode's localeCompare sort preserves
canonical core agent order even when builtin configs omit name.
Also fixes 3 pre-existing test failures where builtinSisyphusConfig
expected the original name to survive remapping.
- Change PROMETHEUS_PERMISSION bash from 'allow' to 'deny' to prevent unrestricted bash execution
- Prometheus is a read-only planner and should not execute bash commands
- The prometheus-md-only hook provides additional blocking as backup
