Add 54 integration tests for CLI, tools, and message serialization

New test files:
- crates/g3-cli/tests/cli_integration_test.rs (14 tests)
  Blackbox CLI tests: help/version flags, argument validation,
  conflicting modes, flock mode requirements

- crates/g3-core/tests/tool_execution_test.rs (20 tests)
  Tool call structure tests and unified diff application:
  read_file, write_file, str_replace, shell, background_process,
  todo, final_output, code_search, take_screenshot

- crates/g3-providers/tests/message_serialization_test.rs (20 tests)
  Round-trip serialization tests for Message, MessageRole,
  CacheControl, and Tool types. Covers Unicode, special chars,
  and edge cases.

All tests follow blackbox/integration-first principles with
documentation of what they protect and intentionally do not assert.

+//! CLI Integration Tests (Blackbox)
+//!
+//! CHARACTERIZATION: These tests verify the CLI's external behavior through
+//! its public interface (command-line arguments and exit codes).
+//!
+//! What these tests protect:
+//! - CLI argument parsing works correctly
+//! - Help and version output are available
+//! - Invalid arguments produce appropriate errors
+//! - Workspace directory handling works
+//!
+//! What these tests intentionally do NOT assert:
+//! - Internal implementation details
+//! - Specific error message wording (only that errors occur)
+//! - Provider-specific behavior (requires API keys)

+//! Message Serialization Integration Tests
+//!
+//! CHARACTERIZATION: These tests verify that Message and related types
+//! serialize and deserialize correctly, ensuring data integrity across
+//! the system boundary (JSON API communication).
+//!
+//! What these tests protect:
+//! - Message round-trip serialization/deserialization
+//! - MessageRole enum serialization
+//! - Cache control serialization
+//! - Tool definitions serialization
+//!
+//! What these tests intentionally do NOT assert:
+//! - Provider-specific API formats (tested elsewhere)
+//! - Internal field ordering in JSON
+//! - Whitespace or formatting in serialized output
