Joao Moura 217673e897 fix(tools): make crew-scoped policy real and close the last raise leak
Two findings, and the first was a documented feature that never worked.

`resolve_tool_failure_policy` consulted a crew, and the docs advertised
crew as a scope, but `Crew` had no `tool_failure_policy` field at all --
and even with one it was unreachable, because `BaseAgent` defaulted the
policy to `WARN` rather than `None`, so resolution always stopped at the
agent. Crew-level configuration was silently ignored.

Fixed by making "inherit" the default everywhere instead of baking `warn`
into one layer: `Crew` gains the field, and `BaseAgent`/`LiteAgent`
default to `None` like `Task` and `BaseTool` already did. The resolver
owns the single fallback, so the chain is genuinely
tool > task > agent > crew > warn and the effective default with nothing
configured is still `warn`. Reading `agent.tool_failure_policy` now
returns `None` (meaning "inherit") rather than `WARN`.

The other: `StepExecutor` re-raised `ToolExecutionFailedError` from its
outer handler, but the nested handler around the native-to-text tooling
fallback still caught it and returned `StepResult(success=False)`. An
agent whose LLM lacked native tool calling would therefore not abort
under `raise`. That is the third distinct place this exception was being
downgraded; it now re-raises there too.

Testing: 8 further tests, 60 total, including the full precedence chain
walked one level at a time and crew-scoped `raise`/`ignore` driven
end-to-end through `kickoff()` rather than only through the resolver --
the gap that let the original crew bug pass review. Full suite matches
baseline exactly at 377 pre-existing failures; mypy clean on every
changed file.
