Inspired by Claude Code's @-mentions in the IDE / VS Code extension.

What: When the user types @./path/to/file in their prompt, repl.lua expands it inline before the broker call. Expansion is a fenced code block:

@./src/main.lua
becomes:
\`\`\`lua path=src/main.lua
<file contents>
\`\`\`

Multiple @ mentions per turn supported. File too large → truncate with a head/tail marker.

Why: Today the user has to copy/paste file contents into chat. Saves friction and reduces tokenization noise from manual paste.

Where it lands: Phase 1. REPL-side, no broker change. ~40 LOC.
