feat(harness): authority, turn contract, tools, clean_agent_preview

Chat/agent harness work: request-authority model, turn contract, tool
policy/parsing/execution, clean_agent_preview streaming/thinking, ask_user
persistence, session probes, and scheduler.

Source: vendor/photocraft (ad1cff44) harness files, 3-way merged onto
upstream/dev (a8c147b2). Harness core files were independently developed
in both lineages; resolution policy documented in pr_work/C_conflicts.md
(vendor kept where ahead, upstream kept where vendor is behind; full delta
preserved in pr_work/C_upstream_delta.patch).

**Untrusted surfaces that must go through this wrapper:** web search results, fetched URLs, emails (read), saved memories, skill text, notes, and any tool output sourced from outside the server. Injecting untrusted content directly into the system role is a security bug.
### Post-external-context tool approval gate — on by default
### Post-external-context tool approval gate — off by default
`src/tool_capabilities.py` carries a second layer: once untrusted content has entered a run, `ToolRunSecurityContext.decision_for()` blocks tools that execute code, mutate state, or cause external side effects until the user authorises the action separately.
It is on unless `ODYSSEUS_TOOL_APPROVAL_GATE` is set to a falsy value (`0`/`false`/`no`/`off`). Request authority narrows which tool families a turn may use, but within an admitted family it does not bind the exact action: a request to read email admits `send_email` and `delete_email`, and agent processes inherit the host network. Until those are covered by their own boundaries, this gate is what stops an injected instruction from reaching them. Turning it off lets a successful injection reach `bash`, `host_shell`, `send_email` and `delete_email` without a separate confirmation.
**It is disabled unless `ODYSSEUS_TOOL_APPROVAL_GATE` is set** (`1`/`true`/`yes`/`on`). The default is off because the gate is conservative enough to interrupt ordinary agent work. That is a deliberate usability trade, and it means a default deployment relies on the wrapper above — not on the gate — to contain injected instructions.
Operators who run the agent against untrusted web or email content with side-effecting tools enabled should turn it on. With the gate off, a successful injection can reach `bash`, `host_shell`, `send_email` and `delete_email` without a separate confirmation; with it on, each of those is refused until approved.

These are open, acknowledged, and contributor help is welcome:
1. **No shell/filesystem sandbox.** The agent `bash` and `read_file`/`write_file` tools run as the app process user with no network egress filtering or filesystem confinement. A successful prompt-injection reaching a shell-enabled admin session can make outbound requests to internal services. See #1058 for the sandbox proposal. The tool approval gate above is the compensating control and is on by default; turning it off leaves this gap unmitigated beyond the untrusted-context wrapper.

2. **SSRF via `/api/v1/chat` `base_url` parameter.** A chat-scoped API token can supply an arbitrary `base_url`; the server forwards the LLM request to that host without validating the scheme or address. PR #1039 fixes this.
