fix(invariant): restore ACTION scope in merge_invariants and InvariantSet.merge

The 4-tier invariant precedence chain (plan > action > project > global) was
broken because merge_invariants() and InvariantSet.merge() only accepted 3
parameters (plan, project, global), silently dropping all action-scoped
invariants. The module docstrings also incorrectly stated the chain as
plan > project > global.

Changes:
- Added  parameter to merge_invariants() and InvariantSet.merge()
- Fixed function call order: plan > action > project > global
- Corrected all docstrings (module, class, methods) to state proper precedence
- InvariantService.get_effective_invariants() now accepts
  parameter to collect/action-filter action-scoped invariants
- Updated robot/helper_m3_e2e_verification.py to include action_invariants=[]
- Updated benchmarks/invariant_merge_bench.py calls to include empty action list
- Added new BDD scenarios for 4-tier merge precedence testing

### Fixed
- **`merge_invariants()` and `InvariantSet.merge()` omitted ACTION scope** (#9126): Restored the missing action-level invariant tier in the merge pipeline, correcting the 4-tier precedence chain from `plan > project > global` to spec-compliant `plan > action > project > global`. Updated `InvariantService.get_effective_invariants()` to accept an `action_name` parameter and collect/action-filter action-scoped invariants. All docstrings corrected throughout.
- **Fixed plan tree reporting zero decision nodes after strategize** (#10813): The `plan tree` command showed no ``decision_id`` fields even though planning completed successfully. Root cause: the PlanExecutor's ``run_strategize()`` method produced strategy decisions via the StrategyActor but never persisted them as domain ``Decision`` objects through the DecisionService wiring. Added ``decision_service`` parameter to the PlanExecutor constructor, wired it from the CLI dependency-injection container in ``_get_plan_executor()``, and added ``_persist_strategy_decisions()`` that converts each strategy decision into a domain Decision with correct type mapping (prompt_definition, strategy_choice, subplan_spawn) so they appear in plan tree output.

Feature: Invariant action scope merge precedence
As required by the CleverAgents spec, invariant merge must support all
four scopes with correct precedence chain. ACTION is the second-highest
tier (plan > action > project > global), but it must never be silently
dropped when computing effective invariants.
Scenario Outline: Action-level invariant appears after plan and before project
Given I have global invariants
| text | source |
| Global rule 1 | system |
| Log changes | system |
And I have action invariants
| text | source |
| Action rule 2 | auth_svc |
And I have project invariants
| text | source |
| Project rule1 | myapp |
| Log changes | myapp |
When I merge the invariants
Then the merged set should have 4 invariants
And the merged invariant at index 0 should have text "Action rule 2"
And the merged invariant at index 1 should have scope "action"
And the merged invariant at index 2 should have text "Project rule1"
And the merged invariant at index 3 should have text "Global rule 1"
Scenario: Action-level duplicate is de-duplicated by text (case-insensitive)

Scenario: Empty action list is backward-compatible
Given I have project invariants
| text | source |
| Project rule | myapp |
And I have global invariants

And I have action invariants
| text | source |
| Action constraint| auth_svc |
And I have project invariants

When I merge the invariants
Then the merged set should have 3 invariants
And the merged invariant at index 0 should have scope "action"
And the merged invariant at index 1 should have text "Project rule 2"
Scenario: InvariantSet.merge accepts action_invariants argument
Given I have action invariants
| text | source |
| Action limit | auth_svc |
And I have project invariants
| text | source |
| Project rule | myapp |
When I merge using InvariantSet

Then the merged set should have 6 invariants
And the merged invariant at index 0 should have text "Plan rule"
And the merged invariant at index 1 should have scope "plan"
And the merged invariant at index 2 should have text "Auth constraint"
And the merged invariant at index 2 should have scope "action"
