When OpenAlice is launched from within a Claude Code terminal, the CLAUDECODE environment variable is inherited by the Agent SDK subprocess, causing Claude Code to reject execution with "cannot be launched inside another Claude Code session" (exit code 1).

Summary
Fixes #107
When OpenAlice is launched from a Claude Code terminal, the inherited
CLAUDECODEenvironment variable causes the Agent SDK subprocess to detect a "nested session" and exit with code 1, resulting in silent failures for all user messages.Changes
CLAUDECODEenv var before spawning the Agent SDK subprocess (src/ai-providers/agent-sdk/query.ts)How it works
Claude Code sets
CLAUDECODEin its shell environment. WhenaskAgentSdk()copiesprocess.envto build the subprocess environment, this variable carries over and triggers Claude Code's nested-session guard. Deleting it from the env copy allows the subprocess to start normally.Test plan
