refactor(advisors): preload deterministic context as tool results (#5386)

## Summary
Refactors the PR review and E2E advisors to preload deterministic
repository/PR context into the Pi SDK session as synthetic
tool-call/tool-result pairs. This keeps advisor prompts focused on
instructions, makes context boundaries clearer in transcripts, and
removes a one-off retired E2E migration ledger rule from the PR review
advisor.

## Changes
- Added synthetic tool-result preloading support to
`tools/advisors/session.mts` and persist those messages into advisor
session exports.
- Moved PR review advisor drift, diff, security, validation, metadata,
and schema context out of interpolated prompt strings and into specific
synthetic tool results.
- Moved general E2E and Vitest scenario advisor metadata, changed files,
diff, and schema context into explicit synthetic tool results.
- Removed `retiredE2eMigrationLedgerChanges` and its special-case
blocker finding from the PR review advisor.
- Updated advisor tests and tool README artifact descriptions for the
new synthetic context layout.

## Type of Change
- [ ] Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
- [x] Code change with doc updates
- [ ] Doc only (prose changes, no code sample modifications)
- [ ] Doc only (includes code sample changes)

## Verification
<!-- Check each item you ran and confirmed. Leave unchecked items you
skipped. Doc-only changes do not require npm test unless you ran it. -->
Targeted checks passed:
- `npm run typecheck:cli`
- `npx vitest run test/pr-review-advisor.test.ts
test/e2e-scenario-advisor.test.ts`
- Biome check on changed advisor files

Attempted `npx prek run --all-files` and `npm test`; both currently fail
in unrelated runtime recovery/secret-boundary tests outside this change
set, so their boxes are left unchecked.
- [ ] `npx prek run --all-files` passes
- [ ] `npm test` passes
- [x] Tests added or updated for new or changed behavior
- [x] No secrets, API keys, or credentials committed
- [ ] Docs updated for user-facing behavior changes
- [ ] `npm run docs` builds without warnings (doc changes only)
- [ ] Doc pages follow the [style
guide](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/blob/main/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md)
(doc changes only)
- [ ] New doc pages include SPDX header and frontmatter (new pages only)

## Summary by CodeRabbit

## Release Notes

* **Tests**
* Updated test coverage for E2E and PR review advisors to verify new
prompt construction and synthetic context handling.

* **Documentation**
* Updated advisor documentation to clarify how deterministic synthetic
tool results are injected into advisor sessions.

* **Refactor**
* Refactored advisors to use deterministic synthetic tool results for
context injection instead of embedding metadata directly in prompts.
* Removed legacy retired E2E migration ledger detection from PR review
advisor.
