fix(federation): enable federation with tools

The issue was that federation was only used when NOT has_tools:
if use_federation and not has_tools:

This meant opencode (which always sends tools) would skip
federation entirely and only use local swarm.

Changed to:
if use_federation:

Now federation works for ALL requests including those with tools.

+- **Winner Tracking**: Logs which node (local or peer) won consensus voting
+- **Token Usage**: Reports accurate token counts for federated responses

 Machines auto-discover each other and vote together on every request.
 
+### Consensus with Federation
+1. Your prompt goes to all LLM instances across all machines
+2. Local swarm and all peers generate **in parallel** (2x faster)
+3. Wait for **all** nodes to complete generation
+4. Run global consensus across all responses
+5. Use federated result (highest confidence from all nodes)
+
+### Token Reporting
+
+Federation now provides accurate token counts:
+- **Prompt tokens**: Counted using tiktoken (cl100k_base encoding)
+- **Completion tokens**: Counted using tiktoken for federated response
+- **Total tokens**: Sum of prompt + completion tokens
+- **Included in**: Final streaming chunk and non-streaming responses
+
+### Federation with Streaming
+
+Federation works with streaming responses:
+- Local swarm and all peers generate in parallel
+- Stream content from local while waiting for federation
+- Switch to federated result when consensus complete
+- Full token reporting in streaming mode
+
 ## How Consensus Works
 
 1. Your prompt goes to all LLM instances
