Add collaborativeagents module and update gitignore

- Add collaborativeagents subproject with adapters, agents, and evaluation modules
- Update .gitignore to exclude large binary files (.whl, .tar), wandb logs, and results

+Reflection Adapter - vLLM-based implementation using original CollaborativeAgents prompts.
+
+This implements the "reflection" baseline from the MULTISESSIONCOLLAB paper:
+- After each session, agent reflects on interaction to update memory (agent_notes)
+- Memory is provided to agent at start of subsequent sessions
+- Uses session-level reflection + persistent memory
+- Uses LLM-based retrieval (proper_scaffolding) to prevent context overflow
+
+Now uses vLLM for fast inference instead of local transformers.
+Uses EXACT prompts from the original CollaborativeAgents paper for fairness.
