feat: Inject PR title and body into reviewer context (#1368)

* Inject PR title and body into reviewer context

The reviewer agent previously received the PR url, number, and SHAs but not
the PR title or description, so it sometimes missed the original intent of
the PR. Fetch the title/body fresh from the GitHub API on every run (never
cached) so edits to the title/description are reflected on re-reviews, and
inject them into the first-review, re-review, and finding-reply contexts as
an untrusted-data block (author-controlled text, guarded against prompt
injection).

* Harden PR overview escaping against whitespace-padded closing tags
