Vasanth T 2ec5c3ae6b fix(agent): tell the user a prefix approval leaves the sandbox (#885)
Approving a command prefix does not only stop the prompt from reappearing.
shellExecutionArgsForApproval rewrites the call to require_escalated, which
resolves to a nil sandbox engine, so the command runs unsandboxed on the host.
The engine's escalation gate is then satisfied by the PermissionGranted flag
from the approval the user just gave for the sandboxed form.

The escalation itself is deliberate and guarded: proposedCommandPrefix refuses
to offer a prefix when any other segment of the command is not known-safe,
precisely because approval covers the whole command. The defect is that the
prompt never said so. The user chose "allow command prefix for session" and got
"and also run it outside the sandbox".

So this discloses rather than removes. PermissionRequest gains
PrefixApprovalEscalates, computed by shellPrefixApprovalEscalates from the same
guards the rewrite consults, and the two prefix options append "(runs outside
the sandbox)" when it is set. Both the TUI and the ACP path carry it, since an
editor user decides on the same terms as a terminal user.

The main test asserts the disclosure and the rewrite agree on every input
rather than checking each against a fixed expectation, so the two cannot drift
apart later. Verified by mutation: reverting the helper to always-false fails
it, as does making the label unconditional.
