feat: auto-accept plan mode and question prompts in respawn controller

When Claude enters plan mode or asks a question (AskUserQuestion), output
stops without a completion message. The new autoAcceptPrompts feature
detects this state and sends Enter after a configurable delay (default 8s)
to accept the plan or select the default option, keeping Claude working
autonomously.

Enabled by default. Adds UI checkbox in the respawn config panel.
Safety: only fires once per silence period, requires prior output,
and won't fire during active respawn cycles.
