fix(security): require explicit SANDBOX_ALLOW_FULL_ACCESS to enable FullAccess policy (#967)

* fix(security): require explicit SANDBOX_ALLOW_FULL_ACCESS to enable FullAccess policy

FullAccess policy bypasses Docker entirely and runs commands via sh -c
directly on the host. Previously, setting SANDBOX_POLICY=full_access
alone was sufficient to enable this, which could be triggered
accidentally or via prompt injection if tool approval is bypassed.

This adds a double opt-in guard:

- New SANDBOX_ALLOW_FULL_ACCESS=true env var must ALSO be set for
  FullAccess to take effect. Without it, the policy is downgraded to
  WorkspaceWrite with a tracing::error! log.

- At execution time, every FullAccess command emits a tracing::warn!
  with the command and working directory for audit visibility.

- The FullAccess variant now documents its blast radius (host shell,
  unrestricted filesystem/network/environment).

- SandboxConfig and SandboxModeConfig gain an allow_full_access field,
  wired through from_env() and the builder.

* fix(sandbox): address review feedback on FullAccess double opt-in

- Add doc comment on builder .policy() warning that FullAccess requires
  .allow_full_access(true) or execution will return SandboxError::Config
- Sanitize audit log: log only binary name instead of full command to
  prevent secret leakage; add [FullAccess] prefix for grep-ability
- Add test_builder_full_access_without_allow_returns_error test covering
  the builder path without explicit allow_full_access(true)
- Fix doc comment mismatch: config.rs and SandboxPolicy::FullAccess docs
  said "will downgrade to WorkspaceWrite" but runtime returns
  SandboxError::Config -- aligned docs with actual behavior

* fix: merge duplicate mod tests; add allow_full_access to struct initializers

After upstream merge, src/config/sandbox.rs had two issues:
- Duplicate mod tests block (upstream's original tests at line 271 + our
  new FullAccess guard tests at line 478) caused E0428 compile error
- Upstream test struct literals for SandboxModeConfig were missing the
  new allow_full_access field (E0063)

Fixes: merge the two mod tests into one; add allow_full_access: false to
the sandbox_mode_config_custom_values and sandbox_mode_to_sandbox_config
test struct initializers.
