Fixes anthropics#1108. Agent mode skipped createInitialComment(), hardcoding claudeCommentId to undefined. This meant the MCP server started without a comment ID, so sticky comments never worked in agent mode. Now calls createInitialComment() when useStickyComment is enabled and the context is an entity (PR or issue), matching the existing tag mode behavior.

Summary
Fixes #1108.
use_sticky_commentwas broken in agent mode becauseprepareAgentModehardcodedclaudeCommentIdtoundefined, skipping thecreateInitialComment()call that tag mode performs.Now calls
createInitialComment(octokit.rest, context)whenuseStickyCommentis enabled and the context is an entity (PR or issue), matching the existing tag mode pattern. Automation contexts (workflow_dispatch, schedule) where there is no entity to comment on are unaffected — both IDs remainundefined.Test plan
