fix(code): bind headless basic tools to workspace, harden lifecycle

- Bind basic file/shell tools (read/write/list/execute) to --workspace via
  Workspace containment (fail-closed), matching the edit group, so an
  auto-approved headless run cannot escape the configured workspace.
- Move workspace resolution + tool loading inside the protected try/finally in
  _run_print_code so init failures still emit the JSON error envelope and always
  run cleanup_runtime().
- Use a private mktemp log in the terminal-bench example instead of a
  predictable /tmp path; drop the stale log_path metadata.
- Add --dangerously-skip-approval to the opt-in real-agent write test and a
  fast regression test for basic-group workspace containment.

-The simplest way in is `tools_run_on=` — one whole team or workflow shares **one** sandbox, so a file written by step 1 is there for step 2. Thinking stays on your machine:
-
 ```python
-from praisonaiagents import Agent, AgentFlow
+from praisonai import Agent, ManagedAgent, LocalManagedConfig
 
-writer = Agent(name="Writer", instructions="You write files.")
-reader = Agent(name="Reader", instructions="You read files.")

-flow = AgentFlow(tools_run_on="docker", steps=[writer, reader])  # or e2b | modal | daytona | flyio
-flow.run("Write 'hello' to /workspace/note.txt, then read it back")
-```
-
-Same thing with no Python at all:
-
-```yaml
-name: remote-demo
-tools_run_on: docker      # every step shares one sandbox
-agents:
-  writer: {role: Writer, goal: Write files}
-  reader: {role: Reader, goal: Read files}

-
->>> agent.where_does_it_run()
-Thinking (the AI model calls) happens on this machine.
-Tools run on a Docker container.
-Your own tools (check_db) still run on this machine -- only shell, file and
-code tools move. They read and write this machine's files.
-```
-
-Naming a place that cannot do the job is a typo, not a preference, so it says so:
-
-```python
->>> Agent(name="x", instructions="i", run_on="e2b")
-TypeError: Agent(run_on='e2b') is not valid: run_on= places the whole agent
--- model calls, loop and tools -- on a managed runtime, and 'e2b' runs
-commands but cannot host an agent loop.
-  To run only the tools there:  Agent(tools_run_on='e2b')
-```
-
-To run one block of code somewhere else, name the place on that call:
-
-```python
-agent.execute_code_sync("print(6 * 7)", run_in="sandlock")   # kernel-enforced
-```
-
-See what is running and reclaim strays:
-
-```bash
-praisonai managed ps          # list running sandboxes
-praisonai managed stop --all  # reclaim them
-```
-
 Sandboxes shut themselves down when idle (`auto_shutdown`, `idle_timeout_s`), and a post-setup snapshot is reused so the next run skips the image pull and dependency install. Commit a `.praisonai/environment.yaml` and the environment travels with the repo.

-"""One vocabulary for "where does this run?", shared by Agent, AgentFlow and AgentTeam.
-
-Two questions get asked about placement and they have different answers:
-
-``run_on=``
-    Where the **whole agent** runs -- the model calls, the loop, the tools, all
-    of it on someone else's machine. Only a *managed runtime* can answer this,
-    because running the loop remotely means something has to host the loop.
-
-``tools_run_on=``
-    Where **the tools** run. Thinking stays on this machine; only the shell,
-    the file writes and the code execution move. Any sandbox or compute place
-    can answer this, because all it has to do is run a command.
-
-Keeping the two words apart is the entire point. The old surface used one word
-(``run_on=``) on ``AgentFlow``/``AgentTeam`` for the tools-only meaning, another
-(``compute=``) on ``LocalAgent`` for exactly the same meaning, and a third
-(``backend=``) for the whole-agent meaning -- so the same concept had two names
-and one name had two concepts.
-
-Because the two questions have disjoint answer sets, a wrong pairing is a typo
-worth catching rather than a preference worth honouring. ``run_on="docker"``
-cannot mean anything: Docker does not host agent loops. It gets a ``TypeError``
-naming the parameter the user actually wanted, not a silent fallback.

-``AgentFlow``/``AgentTeam`` already share one sandbox across a run and tear it
-down when the run ends. A lone ``Agent(tools_run_on=...)`` has no "run" to hang
-that lifetime on -- it is just an object someone calls ``chat()`` on, possibly
-many times -- so the sandbox is created on first use and lives as long as the

-2, which is what anyone who asked for a working directory expects.

-Attachment is idempotent and happens at the top of ``chat``/``achat``/

-snapshotted. Doing it once, rather than wrapping each call in a context
-manager, sidesteps two real hazards in this codebase:
-
-* ``_start_stream`` is a **generator**; a context manager around the call would
-  exit before the caller consumed a single token, tearing down the sandbox while
-  the model was still using it.
-* ``_start_stream`` falls back to ``self.chat``, so a wrapper would **re-enter**
-  itself and provision a second sandbox.
-
-Lifetime is tied to the agent by ``weakref.finalize`` rather than a process-exit
-hook over a weak set. The weak set leaked: an agent and its ``SharedCompute``
-reference each other, so a dropped agent was reclaimed by the cycle collector,

-"""Default structured summary builder for context compaction.
-
-This is the concrete :class:`~praisonaiagents.compaction.protocols.
-SummaryBuilderProtocol` implementation that renders the declared
-:data:`~praisonaiagents.compaction.config.SUMMARY_TEMPLATE` — the phase-aware
-sections (``## Active Task`` / ``## Completed Actions`` / ``## In Progress`` /
-``## Pending Questions`` / ``## Relevant Files / Paths`` / ``## Remaining
-Work``) — so a compacted context keeps its structure instead of degrading to a
-one-line ``"Summary of N messages"`` count.
-
-Design: **deterministic, dependency-free, offline-safe.** It categorises the
-transcript into the template sections from the messages themselves (roles,
-tool calls, question marks, file-path tokens) rather than making an LLM call, so
-it never blocks the hot compaction path, never adds a runtime dependency, and
-never raises into the loop. File paths and identifiers are preserved verbatim.
-
-When an optional ``llm_summarize_fn`` is supplied the builder still renders the
-same template shape; on any failure it falls back to the deterministic render,
-honouring the issue's "fall back to the plain summary on failure" rule.

-Unit tests for executable completion gates (issue #4053).
-
-Covers:
-- FileCheckHook matrix (exists / non_empty / json_field equals / contains).
-- CommandVerificationHook string-command parsing.
-- The verification gate blocks completion until a blocking hook passes; a
-  never-passing check ends at the budget cap (max_iterations), never success.
-- The gate releases once a hook flips to passing (temp-file flag).
-- add_verification mid-run is enforced on the same run.
-- The goal loop short-circuits to 'continue' without a judge call when a
-  blocking hook fails, and injects executable evidence into the judge prompt.
