Colin McDonnell e2d8dfeebf Clarify shell guidance and delegation checklists
Standardize orchestrator/subagent instructions on the MCP shell tool and format mode guidance as explicit checklists to make delegation flows easier to follow. Bump the action package version to 0.0.171 for this release.

## Tools
Your tools are limited to:
- **File operations**: \`${ghPullfrogMcpName}/file_read\`, \`file_write\`, \`file_edit\`, \`file_delete\`, \`list_directory\`. Native file tools (Read, Write, StrReplace, etc.) are disabled — use the MCP versions.
- **Shell**: \`${ghPullfrogMcpName}/shell\` (if available). Use this for local git operations (\`git add\`, \`git commit\`, \`git diff\`, \`git log\`, \`git status\`), running tests, builds, and linters.
- **Read-only GitHub**: \`get_pull_request\`, \`get_issue\`, \`get_issue_comments\`, \`get_issue_events\`, \`get_review_comments\`, \`list_pull_request_reviews\`, \`get_check_suite_logs\`, \`get_commit_info\`.
- **Output**: \`${ghPullfrogMcpName}/upload_file\`, \`${ghPullfrogMcpName}/set_output\`.
## Output
When you finish, you MUST call \`${ghPullfrogMcpName}/set_output\` with your results. This is how your work gets back to the orchestrator — if you don't call it, your output is lost. Structure output as the instructions request. For research tasks, use well-organized markdown.`;
