sandbox native filesystem tools to prevent /proc/self/environ exfiltration (#509)

* sandbox native filesystem tools to prevent /proc/self/environ exfiltration

the agent's native Read/Grep/Edit tools can bypass the shell sandbox by
reading /proc/self/environ directly. this adds agent-native filesystem
restrictions using the highest-precedence, non-overridable config for each CLI:

OpenCode: OPENCODE_PERMISSION env var with external_directory deny-all + /tmp allow,
plus deletion of untrusted .opencode/plugins/ and .opencode/tools/ before launch.

Claude Code: managed-settings.json at /etc/claude-code/ with denyRead, permissions.deny,
allowManagedPermissionRulesOnly, allowManagedHooksOnly. also --setting-sources user and
--disallowedTools path patterns as belt-and-suspenders.

Made-with: Cursor

* add Glob to Claude Code /proc and /sys deny lists

closes gap identified in review — Glob can enumerate /proc entries.
added to both managed-settings.json permissions.deny and --disallowedTools.

Made-with: Cursor

* run token-exfil test with both agents, hint at native /proc reads

changed tag from "agnostic" (opentoad-only) to "security" so the test
runs with both opentoad and claude. updated prompt to explicitly instruct
the agent to try reading /proc/self/environ via native Read tool.
added API keys to action-agnostic CI job for claude support.

Made-with: Cursor

* move token-exfil to crossagent matrix, remove redundant permissions.deny

- moved token-exfil from agnostic/ to crossagent/ so it runs via the
  agent matrix (claude + opentoad in parallel) instead of sequentially
- removed permissions.deny per-tool rules from managed-settings.json;
  sandbox.filesystem.denyRead is the single enforcement mechanism
- reverted action-agnostic env vars to minimal set
- updated wiki to match

Made-with: Cursor

* document post-spawn API key deletion analysis in security wiki

evaluated whether API key env vars can be deleted from agent processes
after spawn. OpenCode snapshots env at startup (safe to delete), but
Claude Code re-reads process.env per request (not viable). documented
as further exploration item with per-agent breakdown and caveats.

Made-with: Cursor

* fix stale tokenExfil path references in wiki docs

moved from test/agnostic/ to test/crossagent/ in directory tree
and adversarial test example.

Made-with: Cursor

* revert accidental prisma.config.ts changes

Made-with: Cursor

* hardcode PULLFROG_MODEL per agent in test runner to avoid DB model mismatch

when PULLFROG_AGENT forces a specific agent, the DB-configured model may
belong to a different provider (e.g. openai model with claude agent).
PULLFROG_MODEL short-circuits the DB slug resolution entirely.
