Add optional `escapeJson` parameter to `ConfigPaths.substitute` to control whether file content should be JSON-escaped. When `false`, multiline content and special characters are preserved as-is, which is required for agent markdown prompts that need raw file content rather than escaped strings. Update agent config processing to pass `escapeJson: false` when substituting file content into markdown prompts, ensuring proper handling of multiline files without unwanted escape sequences. Add comprehensive test coverage for the new parameter and existing substitution functionality.
