fix(agent): reset loopWarned on recovery and rename maxRepeatedToolCalls to maxRepetitions

- Reset loopWarned flag when the agent stops repeating, so a future
  loop gets a fresh warning cycle instead of immediate termination
- Rename maxRepeatedToolCalls → maxRepetitions since the threshold
  applies to both tool call and text output repetition detection
