fix: refuse a run in the form, and show an adopted job's own arguments

Two findings on the deployed page carrying a chat call.

`RunForm.run()` mints a variable per `password` argument before it calls
`runAction`, so the plan-mode gate in the detail pages ran after the write it
was there to prevent — and the keybinding reached it without the button. The
refusal moves into the form, as `runRefusal`: set, it takes no writes at all,
its submit buttons are disabled, and `run()` says so and returns before the
secret processing. The page also stops offering the JSON editor under plan
mode, instead of leaving one mounted that silently discards what is typed.

An adopted job's arguments are the page's, and the card had no way to show
them: it kept rendering the proposal, so a reader who edited a field saw the
wrong values and the model was told nothing. `adopt` now hands them over with
the job id, and they go through the same redaction and size guard as a run
this tool starts.
