We don't need to echo the "Now" part of the tool's output when it occurs, it's better to write something more descriptive. The prompting can drop explanations of the output format, which is now composed specifically for the LLM's benefit.

Pull Request Overview
This PR improves the phrasing around the last-value tool's output to make it more descriptive and reduce potential confusion. The changes remove explanations about output format from the documentation (since the format is designed for LLM consumption) and transform the raw "Now = ..." output into a more natural description when presenting results.
Key Changes:
- Removed documentation explaining the "Was" and "Now" value format from the instructions
- Changed the output presentation to say "has just been assigned value X" instead of echoing "Now = X"

This should prevent (rare) confusion that's occurred since the recent tidy-up of this tool.
