oyasumiandClaude Opus 5 d45b99e551 fix(safety): gate browser safety guidance on the active mode, and close test gaps
The `agent_browser` skill is always loaded, so its safety paragraph shipped to
`off`-mode agents. Its prohibitions do not hold there — Strix only assigns a
browser session in a safety mode, while multi-session browsing is a normal
documented workflow — so the paragraph misdescribed the tools those agents
have. Move it into the already mode-gated block in the system prompt, and pin
the gating in both directions.

Test changes:

- `test_observe_mode_blocks_browser_click` asserted nothing about observe mode.
  The same call blocks in guarded for a different reason (no prior snapshot),
  so the observe rule was never reached. Give it a snapshot and assert the
  block's source and category, plus the passive-read inverse.
- Neither workspace-epoch bump was pinned; removing either left the suite
  green. Both are now covered, along with the read-only case that must not
  bump, and an end-to-end pairing where a patch during review invalidates a
  script decision.
- Cover `invoke_mutating_tool`'s observe-block and off-mode paths, the
  reviewer's low-confidence, block, missing-model and failed-inspection rules,
  the inline `bash -c` source path, and the two dependency-budget guards.
- Assert browser sessions are disjoint across agents rather than freezing one
  agent's command string.
- Fold the compound-separator and safety-config tests into the parametrized
  cases that already covered them.
