Add Provider Strategist agent under root #16

Description

Goal

A permanent non-removable child of the orchestrator that researches the LLM provider landscape, surfaces cost-optimization recommendations, and maintains the _PROVIDER_MODELS catalog.

Responsibilities

  • Run on a daily heartbeat.
  • Watch for new model releases and pricing changes across known providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, others as they appear).
  • Maintain atn/runtime/provider_manager.py:_PROVIDER_MODELS (and atn/model_specs.py context-window / max-output-tokens entries) by proposing PRs or local edits.
  • Recommend which agents in the local subtree should switch providers based on current usage and pricing — surfaces recommendations via notify_parent, never acts unilaterally.
  • Track subscription quotas (SDKRateLimitEvent snapshots already aggregated per-provider) and flag near-limit conditions.

Out of scope

  • Making provider switches itself. The strategist recommends; root or user decides.
  • Implementing EIT — that's a separate issue this strategist will eventually consume.

Acceptance

  • The strategist appears under the root in the agent tree on every startup, cannot be removed via the standard remove-agent path.
  • A heartbeat run produces at least one structured recommendation in a recognizable format.
  • The snapshot shows when the strategist last ran and a digest of its findings.
