Subject: [PATCH] perf(agent-hooks): stop cloning the whole status roster on
 every hook event

AgentAwakeService.setStatuses deep-copied every row of an array the hook server
had just built fresh, and getEligibleRunningStatusCount allocated a filtered
array only to read its length. Both run on every agent turn and tool call, and
both scale with cached panes rather than with the one pane that changed.

Copy the array without cloning its rows, and count in place. At 500 panes the
per-event cost drops from 5.34us to 1.78us.
