Problem

The filedrop plugin can receive messages (via poll_inbox), but the agent has no native tool to send filedrop replies. The agent can work around this via exec("filedrop send ..."), but this is fragile and not discoverable.

Proposed Solution

Add a filedrop_send tool that:

Takes to, subject, and content parameters
Uses the existing filedrop CLI or writes JSON directly to the recipient's inbox
Handles wake if configured

Workaround

Alpha can use exec tool to call filedrop send <agent> <subject> <content> — the CLI is at /usr/local/bin/filedrop.
