feat(cli): implement context list and context add CLI commands for ACMS

Implemented  command to display all indexed entries with
tier, size, and last-accessed metadata. Implemented  command
to index files/directories with optional --tag and --policy flags.

- Added features/acms_context_list_add_cli.feature with 27 scenarios
- Added test step definitions using Typer CliRunner for real CLI invocation
- Added context.py implementation with --tag, --policy, --format flags
- Updated CHANGELOG.md entry under [Unreleased] > Added
- Removed out-of-scope A2A test files that belonged to a different Epic

+Feature: ACMS context list and context add CLI commands
+  As a CleverAgents user
+  I want to list indexed context entries and add files/directories to ACMS
+  So that I can manage the Advanced Context Management System (ACMS) index
+
+  Background:
+    Given a temporary project for ACMS context testing
+    And the ACMS context service is initialized
+
+  # ── context list ──────────────────────────────────────────
+
+  Scenario: List context with no entries
+    When I run context list
+    Then the context list command should succeed
+    And the output should indicate no files in context
+
+  Scenario: List context with entries displays table
+    Given context entries exist with:
+      | path | tier | size | last_accessed |
+      | src/main.py | hot | 1024 | 2026-04-15T10:00:00Z |
+      | src/utils.py | warm | 2048 | 2026-04-14T10:00:00Z |
+    When I run context list
+    Then the context list command should succeed

+    And each entry should have keys: path, tier, size, last_accessed
+
+  Scenario: List context with table format (explicit)

+    And the output should contain "hot"
+    And the output should contain "warm"
+    And the output should contain "cold"
+
+  Scenario: List context shows file sizes
+    Given context entries exist with:
+      | path | tier | size | last_accessed |
+      | small.py | hot | 512 | 2026-04-15T10:00:00Z |
+      | large.py | warm | 10240 | 2026-04-14T10:00:00Z |
+    When I run context list
+    Then the context list command should succeed
+    And the output should contain "512 bytes"
+    And the output should contain "10,240 bytes"
+
+  Scenario: List context shows last-accessed metadata
+    Given context entries exist with:
+      | path | tier | size | last_accessed |
+      | recent.py | hot | 1024 | 2026-04-15T10:00:00Z |
+      | old.py | cold | 2048 | 2026-04-01T10:00:00Z |
+    When I run context list
+    Then the context list command should succeed
+    And the output should contain "2026-04-15"
+    And the output should contain "2026-04-01"
+
+  Scenario: List context with --help shows documentation
+    When I run context list with --help
+    Then the output should contain "List all files in the current plan's context"
+    And the output should contain "--format"
+
+  # ── context add ───────────────────────────────────────────
+
+  Scenario: Add single file to context
+    Given a file "src/main.py" exists
