the assistant tools fail

Feedback title:
Agent tools broken after latest update — cannot edit any code

Feedback details:
After the latest update, the assistant tools fail, so no code changes can be applied.

1. File read/search tools (Read / Glob / Grep): the request waits about 5 minutes, then is denied with a permission/request timeout.
2. Shell tools (Cmd / PowerShell) and most other tool calls fail immediately with invalid character '{' after top-level value. Any request that contains curly braces { (normal in JSON) breaks. Simple commands without { sometimes work.
3. Sending a message to the user failed with the same { parser error.

Impact: a long session was spent only reading files. No application code was written. Workarounds (avoid {, use read-only Node slice scripts) are not viable for real edits.

Environment: Windows 10, OhMyAgent 686dcb4, permission mode auto, current folder is not a Git repo.

Expected result:
Tools should accept normal requests that contain {, and file read/search should complete in a normal time (not 5 minutes), so code changes can actually be applied.

No files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the failures in the listed Read, Glob, Grep, Cmd, and PowerShell tools on Windows 10, especially requests containing {, then investigate the request parser and the read/search timeout path. Done means normal requests with curly braces are accepted and file read/search completes without a five-minute permission or request timeout.
