docs(agents): when to label something beta - #461

Conversation
#460 removed [BETA] from every command. The Event Gateway commands had carried it since at least v2.0.0, through several GA releases, because nothing said what would take it off. AGENTS.md now says the default is no label, and that a command, flag or MCP tool is labelled beta only for operational risk the CLI cannot guard against, a planned breaking change to its interface in the next minor release, or an underlying API capability that is itself beta. Never for newness, low usage or missing beta feedback. A justified label covers the narrowest thing at risk, says what is unstable, records its exit criterion when it goes on, and is reviewed at each minor release.
