Agent Mode command staleness indicator, MCP file-based config, code review routing to CLI agent terminals

Warp adds a 'Last seen by agent at' indicator for long-running commands in Agent Mode, lets code review comments route to any idle terminal in the tab, and supports file-based MCP server configuration via ~/.agents/.mcp.json or project-local .agents/.mcp.json. A security fix patches an openh264 heap overflow.
