fix: resolve lint, test, and review issues

- Replace S101 assert guards with explicit if/raise RuntimeError in
  benchmark.py and cli.py (3 locations)
- Fix test_create_llm_from_env_with_unaccepted_attributes to use
  DEFAULT_LLM_MODEL with clear=True so the assertion isn't brittle
  against the hardcoded model name
- Add n_iterations loop to _test_new_agents (was unused, now mirrors
  _train_new_agents iteration pattern)
- Consolidate dotenv loading in cli.py and agent_tui.py to use the
  existing load_env_vars() from utils.py instead of duplicating logic
