refactor: Rename repository to OpenAgents Control (#100)
* refactor: Rename repository to OpenAgents Control

Update all project references from "OpenAgents" to "OpenAgents Control":
- Updated core config files (package.json, registry.json)
- Updated documentation (README.md, docs/)
- Updated scripts (install.sh, update.sh, test scripts)
- Updated agent and command files
- Updated integrations and packages
- Updated all GitHub URLs to use OpenAgentsControl

Naming convention:
- Display name: "OpenAgents Control"
- Repository URL: OpenAgentsControl

* feat: Enable subagent-to-subagent delegation (ContextScout integration)

Allow coding-related subagents to call ContextScout for context discovery:
- CoderAgent: Can now discover coding standards on-demand
- TestEngineer: Can now discover test coverage and TDD guidelines
- CodeReviewer: Can now discover code review and security patterns
- BuildAgent: Can now discover build validation standards
- DocWriter: Can now discover documentation formatting guidelines

Changes per subagent:
- Added `task: true` to tools section
- Added permission allowlist for ContextScout only (deny all other delegation)
- Added Context Discovery workflow section with when-to-call guidance

This enables subagents to be self-sufficient for finding relevant standards
instead of relying on orchestrator to provide all context files.

Benefits:
- Subagents can discover what they need when context isn't explicit
- Maintains security (only ContextScout allowed via task tool)
- Follows existing patterns (uses task tool like main agents)

* fix: Set OPENCODE_BRANCH in CI tests to use PR branch for downloads

- Add OPENCODE_BRANCH environment variable to E2E tests
- Add OPENCODE_BRANCH environment variable to profile smoke tests
- Ensures tests download files from the PR branch instead of main
- Fixes E2E test failures after repository rename to OpenAgentsControl
