- Add note about broken endpoint in the `agent_protocol_client` library

- Rename `self.filename` with `self.report_file` in `ReportManager`.

- Merge the functionality of `AGBenchmarkPathManager` into `AgentBenchmarkConfig` to consolidate the configuration management.
- Remove the `.path_manager` module containing `AGBenchmarkPathManager`.
- Pass the `AgentBenchmarkConfig` and its attributes through function arguments to reduce global state and improve code clarity.
