feat(safety): workspace-file reads, approval UX, and integration hardening

Engine + integration:
- Reviewer inspection now surfaces the real frozen source of an already-frozen
  workspace script/dependency instead of an empty string, so workspace-resident
  scripts resolve without a needless human defer.
- Guard effectful static tools via an explicit, documented set plus the SDK's
  per-tool needs_approval signal; give the exec/stdin wrappers the same
  idempotency guard as their sibling wrappers.
- Centralize DEFAULT_SAFETY_MODE and share one resume safety-mode rule between the
  CLI and runner so the two cannot drift; type InspectionContext.runner, reuse
  RUNTIME_STATE_DIR_NAME, and drop a dead workdir parameter and a write-only field.

TUI approval experience:
- Approve All drops the run into dangerous mode: it approves the pending call and
  turns review off for the rest of the run, with a standing "review off" status flag.
- The status row shows the owning agent as paused while it waits on a decision.
- Redesigned prompt: a risk + tool header, a collapsible command/reason preview
  that expands (e) and scrolls, and no internal digest, agent, or request ids.
