feat: dynamic agent testing — adaptive attacker (--smart), multi-turn, tool-calling

+# Changelog
+
+## 0.10.0 — Dynamic agent testing (opt-in)
+
+### Added
+- `agentseal scan --smart`: after the static scan, run a bounded **adaptive (PAIR)** attacker that escalates against the target across turns and reports findings. BYOK, and **not scored** — the deterministic Trust Score stays the static suite.
+- `--attacker-model`: drive the adaptive attacker on a separate (e.g. less-aligned) model while still testing the real target.
+- Tool-calling test path: action-based detection — flags an agent that invokes a forbidden tool or smuggles data through tool arguments.
+- Multi-turn conversation state: multi-turn probes now thread history so gradual-escalation attacks actually work.
+
+### Fixed
+- Report-save failures warn instead of being silently swallowed.
+- Ollama connector read timeout 60s -> 180s (local "thinking" models).

+"""Adaptive attacker — PAIR-style observe -> escalate -> judge -> refine loop.
+
+Static probes fire a fixed payload once. The adaptive attacker reads the
+target's response (the refusal is the signal) and refines the next attempt,
+under a hard query budget. The attacker / judge / detect functions are
+injected, so the loop is deterministic and testable; the real BYOK LLM
+attacker wraps the same interface (run at temperature 0 + a fixed seed for
+reproducible-enough campaigns, and the transcript below makes any finding
+replayable regardless of later model drift).
+
+This is the foundation; TAP (tree search + pruning) and Crescendo build on it.
