## Summary
- Ask mode now always uses the local agent handler with read-only tools,
regardless of Dyad Pro status
- This gives all users access to code reading tools while in ask mode
- Ask mode does not consume free agent quota

## Test plan
- Test ask mode in a non-Pro account and verify it can use local agent
tools (file reading, searching)
- Verify ask mode still operates in read-only mode (no editing
capabilities)
- Confirm ask mode doesn't consume free agent quota

## Summary by cubic
Ask mode now always uses the local agent handler in read-only mode. It’s
available to all users and doesn’t consume free agent quota.

- **New Features**
  - Routes all Ask mode chats to the local agent.
  - Removes the Pro check; available to all users.
  - Read-only tools only; no edits.
- Engine-dependent tools (code search, web search, web crawl) require
Dyad Pro.

- **Bug Fixes**
- Skips file upload instructions in Ask mode since write tools aren’t
available.

<sup>Written for commit 9732679491a53e7be7fa40dae6f18db4b2d43701.
