Give Guardian V2 full tool action context (#38441)

## Why

Guardian V2 needs the requested action and its conversation context to assess
risk; a tool name and call ID alone do not describe what the tool will do.

## What changed

- Expose the original, pre-hook `ToolPayload` to tool lifecycle contributors.
- Build Guardian V2 classifier input from the bounded conversation transcript
  and a structured planned-action object containing the tool name and arguments.
- Warn and skip classification if the planned action cannot be serialized.

## Testing

- Verify lifecycle contributors receive tool arguments.
- Verify Guardian V2 sends transcript history and planned-action JSON to the
  classifier.
