fix(init): embed auto_advance/auto_chain_active/mode in init plan-phase output (#2228)

Prevents infinite config-get loops on Kimi K2.5 and other models that
re-execute bash tool calls when they encounter config-get subshell patterns.
Values are now bundled into the init plan-phase JSON so step 15 of
plan-phase.md can read them directly without separate shell calls.

Closes #2192
