dave: add Claude SDK integration tests and fix stderr blocking
Add integration tests for the Claude Code SDK that validate streaming
responses work correctly. Tests require Claude Code CLI to be installed
and are marked with #[ignore] for CI.
Key fix: Add stderr_callback to ClaudeAgentOptions to prevent the
subprocess from blocking when stderr buffer fills up. Without this,
the CLI would hang indefinitely during operation.
Also disable the custom nostr system prompt to use Claude Code's
default behavior.
