fix: subagent announce shows correct runtime, tokens, and output

Three fixes for subagent announce displaying "runtime 0s", "tokens n/a",
and "(no output)" even when the sub-agent completed successfully:

1. formatDurationShort: allow 0ms as valid (sub-second tasks are real),
   display as "<1s" instead of treating as invalid
2. waitForSessionUsage: increase polling from 4×200ms (800ms) to
   10×500ms (5s) so token data has time to persist
3. readLatestAssistantReply: add retry loop (5×500ms) for transcript
   readback when session data hasn't flushed yet

Fixes both copies of formatDurationShort (subagent-announce.ts and
subagents-utils.ts) for consistency.
