Add missing provider: field to all actor examples in examples/actors/.
Fix llm_with_tools.yaml actor name from assistants/file_analyzer to
local/assistants-file_analyzer (custom actors must use local/ namespace
and cannot contain two slashes).
Add validate-all command to helper_actor_examples.py that uses ActorLoader
to validate all examples via business logic checks. Add integration test
Validate All Actor Examples Import Without Errors to actor_examples.robot
that confirms every example in examples/actors/ can be imported without
errors.

## Summary
Add a `code_review.yaml` actor example that uses Claude Opus 4 with file and git tools to perform automated code reviews against the project's review playbook.
### Changes
- **New file**: `examples/actors/code_review.yaml` — LLM actor configured with `files/read_file`, `files/list_directory`, and `builtin/git-*` tools, with a system prompt that reads `docs/development/review-playbook.md` and diffs against `master`
- **Updated**: `features/actor_examples.feature` — bumped example count from 7 to 8 and added `code_review.yaml` to the file listing assertion
### Verification
- `nox -e lint` — passed
- `nox -e typecheck` — 0 errors
- `nox -e format -- --check` — all files formatted
- `nox -s unit_tests -- features/actor_examples.feature` — 25 scenarios passed
### Rebase Notes
- Rebased onto current master (`4d3499dc`)
- Squashed 2 commits into 1 (eliminated 3 merge commits)
- Resolved conflict in `actor_examples.feature`: master added `strategy_with_subplan.yaml` (count 7), our branch adds `code_review.yaml` (count now 8)

Address review-driven fixes across actor schema, preflight guardrails, docs/examples,
and Behave/Robot coverage: unify preflight warning behavior with shared role-warning logic,
resolve actor-name to config payloads in production preflight flow, harden response_format
validation/coercion edge cases, extract duplicated helper logic, and expand negative-path
test coverage. Also fix cross-scenario patcher leakage in step modules to eliminate
full-run-only coverage failures.
- Add `role_hint` and `response_format` support to actor schema.
- Add non-fatal estimation-role compatibility warnings in actor registration CLI flows.
- Add preflight warning path when `estimation` actor is missing `response_format`.
- Add `examples/actors/estimator.yaml` and update actor examples documentation/tests.
- Update integration helper expectations (m1/m2/m3/m6) for missing provider config in local test env.

Extend actor YAML schema to support hierarchical graphs with explicit
node types (agent, tool, conditional, subgraph), per-node LSP bindings
(lsp_binding with server, languages, auto, capabilities), and tool-source
references (skills, mcp_servers, agent_skills).
Add schema validation for namespaced actor references, duplicate node IDs,
edge target existence, and graph reachability — all nodes must be reachable
from entry_node via explicit edges or conditional node routing targets.
Update loader to report YAML parse errors with precise line/column positions
and schema validation errors with dotted field paths and remediation hints
pointing to docs/reference/actor_config.md.
Add docs/reference/actor_config.md as the practical configuration reference
covering hierarchical graph examples, node type table, topology rules, and
common error cases with fix guidance.
Refresh examples/actors/graph_workflow.yaml to replace deprecated actor_path
with actor_ref. Add benchmarks/actor_yaml_bench.py for schema load overhead.
Tests: 95 Behave scenarios, 10 Robot smoke tests (including hierarchical
loader smoke test), security scan clean, coverage 99% (threshold 97%).
ISSUES CLOSED: #157
Add 5 example actor configurations demonstrating all actor types:
Simple Examples:
- simple_llm.yaml: Basic LLM actor with code review prompt
- llm_with_tools.yaml: LLM with mix of tool references and inline tools
- tool_collection.yaml: Tool-only actor (no LLM)
Graph Examples:
- simple_graph.yaml: 3-node linear workflow (extract → analyze → summarize)
- graph_workflow.yaml: Complex TDD workflow with 10 nodes
* Conditional routing based on test results
* Retry logic with max attempts
* Subgraph composition (code review)
* Error escalation paths
Each example demonstrates:
- Proper namespaced naming (namespace/name)
- Type-specific configurations
- Context and memory settings
- Environment variable usage
- Tool definitions (inline and references)
