fix(daemon): the Codex resume command a person is shown carries the seat's permission choice

The resume command in rig ps and the node's recovery guidance printed
the default posture for a Codex seat with its own saved permission
choice, so resuming by hand from it started the seat without that
choice. It now carries the choice through the same arguments the
seat's managed resume emits. A choice that can't be read still shows
the command, with a note that it doesn't include it.
