Remove the symlink-realpath gates on file tools, the repo-config git hardening probe, and the local.toml trust gating; project-local config and git invocations return to plain resolution while the sensitive-file write guard stays.

The remaining sensitive-target write guard does not cover editing, and project settings can expand filesystem access without waiting for workspace trust.

…and completion budget behavior (#336) ## Requirement or Bug Restore filesystem-watch defaults and land a batch of session-behavior fixes (agent status, undo, cron forks, completion budget). ## Bug Reproduction Steps N/A (behavior restore + fixes). ## Root Cause Watch was flipped off by default when it should not have been; permission-mode changes never reached agent status consumers; undo left a stale interruption reminder; forks inherited the source session's cron tasks; a default completion token cap silently truncated model output. Each fixed at the cause. ## Code Changes - Filesystem watch defaults back on (`[watch] enabled = false` / `PYTHINKER_CODE_WATCH=0` to disable). - `setMode` publishes permission mode on `AgentStatusUpdated`. - NotifyUser nudges only for clients with an updates panel (`notifyUserAvailable` host gate). - Undo removes a turn's interruption reminder with the turn. - Forks clear inherited cron tasks and surface a one-shot notice. - The default completion token cap is gone; set `maxCompletionTokens` in modelOverrides to cap output. `usedContextTokens` reads the tokenizer size. ## Impact Scope - `packages/agent-core-v2` (watch, nudge, permission mode, interruption reminder, cron runtime, usage/traits/requesters), `apps/vis` event types, docs (`config-files.md`). - Tests: suites for each behavior above; full suite green locally. ## Checklist - [x] I have read the [CONTRIBUTING](https://github.com/PyModel/pythinker-code/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) document. - [x] I have linked a related issue (external PRs: issue must have a maintainer's `/approve`). — No public issue; maintainer work. - [x] I have added tests that prove my feature works. - [x] Ran `gen-changesets` skill, or this PR needs no changeset. - [x] Ran `gen-docs` skill, or this PR needs no doc update. --------- Co-authored-by: Test User <test@example.test>

❌ Nix build failed Hash mismatch in
Please update |
![github-code-quality[bot]](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/9919?s=60&v=4){kind=small}
The rollback over-deleted: main gates local.toml additional directories behind workspace trust and rejects broad-scope entries, but ff558ad removed the gate, letting a repo-supplied local.toml expand workspace scope silently (additional_dir = ["/"] loads the whole filesystem on an untrusted workspace), and switched the non-persisting addDir path to the validating loader so a stale or malformed local.toml blocked valid ephemeral additions. Restore main's design on top of the current trust service: locateAdditionalDirsConfig for location-only lookups, trust-gated reload and persistence, broad-scope rejection, and the Program wiring that passes the trust service into WorkspaceDirsService. Also drop the awaited work promise in runGit's timeout path so a surviving pipe owner can no longer hang cleanup, and give the constructor's watch-setup chain a rejection handler. Tests: restored the trust-gating suite and added pins for the filesystem-root claim (trusted and untrusted) and for ephemeral adds surviving rejected ready.
The #336 merge moved pnpm-lock.yaml without updating flake.nix, so every nix build on this branch fails the fixed-output hash check. Set the pnpmDeps hash to the value the CI build reported and verify nix build .#pythinker-code.pnpmDeps locally.

Requirement or Bug
Restore pre-2.1 file/git behavior for symlinked workspaces while keeping the narrow write guard.
Bug Reproduction Steps
N/A (behavior restore).
Root Cause
The 2.1 trust-boundary hardening resolved every tool path through realpath and probed git repo config, which broke legitimate symlinked workspaces and slowed every git invocation. Fundamental fix: the broad gates are removed; the guard that matters (blocking writes that resolve to env files, credentials, or SSH keys) is kept.
