Brennan Benson 23798eff7c Let chats follow the agent permission setting (#32334)
* feat(agents): store each agent's permission itself instead of typing flags into Arguments

Terminals and new chats read one stored choice per agent (Use the agent's own
settings, Ask for approval, Accept edits, Approve for me, Full access). Orca adds
the flag at launch; Arguments hold only the user's own text. A one-time move
lifts Orca's flags out of saved Arguments. Older clients still see and write
the flag as part of Arguments; the host translates.

* fix(agents): say the all-agents switch resets agents set separately; keep primitives unstyled

* test(agents): the one-time move returns every launch-profile field

* Fix permission carrier ownership and surface-specific defaults

* Preserve uncertain permission operands and name the option inventory

* Check env entries without indexing typed agent maps

* Combine Chat permission capability imports

* Use folder execution-host platform for permission environment

* Preserve launch map replacement and acknowledge permission saves

* Keep permission feedback fallbacks statically discoverable

* Provide preload platform to Agents settings render tests

* Preserve Gemini approval arguments under Full access

* fix(settings): retain complete environment edits through save outcomes

* fix(settings): narrow local failure scope and preserve host messages

* fix(settings): retire argument drafts after acknowledged saves

* fix(settings): keep Goose environment editable after reset

* fix(settings): show resolved arguments for legacy hosts

* Preserve pending environment resets and bound launch settings work

* Use agent permission choices for new chats

* Let Claude resolve chat permissions from its own settings

* Keep optional settings fallback in repository metadata reads

* Consolidate permission report imports

* Update permission choice contracts for own settings

* Read repository visibility defaults through the raw settings fixtures

* Match existing translated Agents settings labels

* Update readback and legacy host test expectations

* Align Chat behavior tests with host permission capability

* Fix permission compatibility and host-owned descriptions

* Prepare whole Environment edits and retire unchanged drafts

* Handle null explicitly in permission report decoder

* Keep Environment settings transitions in an acyclic module

* Update raw settings reader test fixtures

* Place test fixture safety notes on assertion starts

* test: pin permission settings work and recovery contracts

* test: type permission settings work fixtures

* test: cover migrated permission inputs and captured CLI grammar

* Publish permission reports and reuse host capability state

* Combine mobile option state React imports

* Honor mobile status feed capability for permission reports

* test: preserve typed permissions in WSL Claude restarts

* Correct permission report child and fixture type contracts

* Delegate older-host chats to explicitly selected own settings

* Avoid rebuilding live ACP option catalogs

* test(chat): place cross-boundary permission contracts in integration project

* Preserve existing chat capability gates and complete report test fixtures

* fix(chat): preserve newer Claude startup permission reports

* test(chat): clarify startup report fixture provenance

* Show reported permission modes in chat menus

* Keep reported permissions available after chat mode picks

* Remove obsolete guard from concrete permission selection

* Report the installed approval policy for ACP chat menus

* test: keep accepted mobile mutation fixture on current fence

* test: cover installed ACP approval report for own chats

* test: align capability scaling contract with concrete permission menus

* Ship required permission help in English runtime catalog

* Adapt permission persistence test to shared menu
