v1.13.17-cross-repo-reads: on-demand read access to paths outside the project root

When the agent needed context from another repo, pathGuard rejected every read
with no recovery path. This batch adds a reactive request_read_access flow:
pathGuard's error now hints at the tool, the model emits a structured request,
the inference loop pauses (same mechanism as ask_user_input), the user picks
Allow/Deny via inline chips, and subsequent reads under the granted root succeed
for the rest of the session.

Schema: sessions.allowed_read_paths TEXT[] NOT NULL DEFAULT ARRAY[]::TEXT[]
(idempotent ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS).

Grant unit (design D1): nearest registered projects.path ancestor →
nearest repo-shaped ancestor (.git/ / package.json / go.mod / Cargo.toml)
under PROJECT_ROOT_WHITELIST → else refuse. grant_resolver.ts walks
ancestors with a per-iteration whitelist invariant check so symlinked
input can't escape the whitelist mid-walk (Sam's checkpoint-1 ask).

Path-guard: optional extraRoots arg threaded from session.allowed_read_paths
through executeToolCall to view_file / list_dir / grep / find_files. The
ToolDef.execute signature gets an optional third param; non-FS tools
ignore it. view_file re-anchors the secret-guard check on basename(real)
whenever a relative path starts with "../" so .env / id_rsa* etc. still
deny across grant roots.

Endpoint: POST /api/chats/:id/grant_read_access mirrors /answer_user_input.
On 'allow' it re-resolves the grant root (state may have changed since
prompt — auto-falls to denial reason text on failure, not 500), array_appends
to sessions.allowed_read_paths with in-memory dedup, then publishes
tool_result + session_updated frames and enqueues the next assistant turn.

PATCH /api/sessions/:id allowed_read_paths supports revocation only. Zod
refines absolute + no traversal markers; runtime findUnauthorizedAdditions
guard rejects any entry not already present in the row, so a malicious
curl -X PATCH -d '{"allowed_read_paths":["/etc"]}' returns 400 instead of
bypassing the grant flow (Sam's compliance-review action item).

Frontend: RequestReadAccessCard renders pending (path + reason + Allow/Deny)
and answered (granted/denied summary with the resolved root) variants;
MessageList.flatten/group special-cases the tool name; SettingsPane adds a
per-session grants list with per-row revoke that PATCHes the shortened
array.

Tests: 11 grant_resolver, 8 path_guard, 8 sessions PATCH subset, including
explicit cases for symlink escape mid-walk, walk-bound termination at
whitelist root, /etc bypass attempt via PATCH, and nearest-project
disambiguation. 292 total server tests green.

Pairs with v1.13.16-xml-parser — the model now self-recovers from both
a wrong tool name AND from a refused path.
