AI Agent

Canonical classification of a changed config `path`'s reload scope.

Values are plain strings so wrapper/runtime code can compare without
importing this class. `FULL` is the fail-safe default for unknown or
structural changes.

* `HOT`: apply in place, no restart (see :func:`is_hot_appliable`).
* `CHANNEL`: a change under `channels.<name>` — restart only that one
  channel; other channels keep their connections and in-flight turns.
* `AGENTS`: an agent/provider/guardrails change — recreate agents only,
  without bouncing channels.
* `FULL`: unknown or structural change — full restart (fail-safe).
