feat: implement atomic locking with mutex-based synchronization

- Add tryAcquireLock() method to SimpleLockingService for atomic lock acquisition
- Replace TOCTOU-vulnerable two-step locking with single atomic operation
- Use Mutex-based synchronization to prevent race conditions in lock acquisition
- Update SimpleLockAwareToolDefinition to use atomic locking pattern
- Ensure thread safety for concurrent sub-agent operations
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing tests (773/773 passing)

This resolves race conditions where multiple agents could simultaneously pass
canProceed() checks before any called recordOperationStart(), leading to
concurrent access to the same resources.
