Add e2e test and example for filesystem-based agents
Add test coverage for issue #406 where filesystem-based agents loaded
via setting_sources=["project"] may silently fail in Docker environments.

Changes:
- Add e2e test `test_filesystem_agent_loading` that verifies agents from
  .claude/agents/*.md are loaded and produce full responses
- Add example `examples/filesystem_agents.py` demonstrating filesystem agent usage
- Add test agent file `.claude/agents/test-agent.md` for the SDK repo

The test confirms this works correctly outside Docker, helping isolate
#406 as a Docker/bundled-CLI specific issue.

"""Example of loading filesystem-based agents via setting_sources.
This example demonstrates how to load agents defined in .claude/agents/ files
using the setting_sources option. This is different from inline AgentDefinition
objects - these agents are loaded from markdown files on disk.
This example tests the scenario from issue #406 where filesystem-based agents
loaded via setting_sources=["project"] may silently fail in certain environments.
Usage:
./examples/filesystem_agents.py
