Subject: [PATCH] fix: send plain string message in tau-rpc instead of
 structured object
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Pi-agent-core's Agent.prompt() expects a plain string, not a structured
message object. The RPC handler passes input.message directly to agent.prompt(),
so sending { role: "user", content: [...] } causes "(command produced no output)"
errors.
