feat(agent): add invocationState support for per-request state

[Aparnap2]

---

Enables passing arbitrary state through the agent invocation lifecycle, accessible in hooks and tool contexts. Not persisted between invocations.

Description

This PR implements invocationState support for the Agent invoke and stream methods, achieving feature parity with the Python SDK. This allows developers to pass transient, per-request context (such as userId, requestId, or sessionId) through the agent's lifecycle hooks and tool executions without modifying the agent's persistent state.

Key Implementation Details:

1. Agent API (src/agent/agent.ts)

   • Introduced InvokeOptions interface: type InvokeOptions = { invocationState?: Record<string, unknown> }
   • Updated invoke() and stream() to accept options?: InvokeOptions.
   • Plumbed invocationState through the internal _stream loop to hooks and tool executors.

2. Lifecycle Hooks (src/hooks/events.ts)

   • Added invocationState to BeforeInvocationEvent for request-level context.
   • Added invocationState to granular events (BeforeModelCallEvent, BeforeToolCallEvent, etc.) to enable precise tracing and logging deep in the execution stack.

3. Tool Context (src/tools/tool.ts)

   • Updated ToolContext to include invocationState, allowing tools to access request-specific data.

4. Type Safety

   • Used Record<string, unknown> to ensure strict type safety (avoiding any) while allowing flexible user data.

Usage Example:

await agent.invoke('Analyze data', {
  invocationState: { userId: '123', traceId: 'abc' }
});
