fix(session): auto-accept the workspace trust dialog again

A session on a fresh directory sat on Claude's "Quick safety check: Is
this a project you created or one you trust?" dialog until a human
pressed Enter. Reproduced on a new case, then read off the wire:

  1.\x1b[C Yes,\x1b[C I\x1b[C trust\x1b[C this\x1b[C folder

tmux repaints a row by writing each word followed by a cursor-forward
escape instead of a space, and Ink colours each word separately, so
`data.includes('trust this folder')` could never match a chunk. The
spaces are not there to strip: they were never sent. The auto-accept has
been dead for every session that hit the dialog.

Match on whitespace-free, ANSI-free, lowercased text instead
(`compactScreenText`), which survives both that repaint style and the
spaced full-screen redraw.

Answering means pressing Enter into a session, so three guards bound it:

- Read the RENDERED SCREEN (capturePaneText), not the chunk. The terminal
  buffer is append-only and keeps the dialog in its tail long after it
  has been answered, so a retry driven off the buffer would type into a
  live session. Direct-PTY sessions, which have no pane, fall back to a
  short buffer tail.
- Require a trust phrase AND the dialog's own confirm affordance. One
  phrase is not enough, since an agent's transcript can quote it.
- Only look during the first 90s of the pane's life, and cap it at three
  attempts. Ink can drop a keystroke while it is still mounting the
  widget, which is the other half of why sessions got stuck, but a
  dialog that will not clear must not become an Enter loop.

Verified end to end on a fresh case: dialog answered on attempt 1, one
Enter sent in total, session went straight to the composer and answered a
prompt. Before the fix the same flow parked on the dialog indefinitely.

/**
* @fileoverview Recognizing Claude Code's workspace-trust dialog on screen.
*
* Claude asks once per directory before it will read or edit anything:
*
* Quick safety check: Is this a project you created or one you trust? ...
* ❯ 1. Yes, I trust this folder
* 2. No, exit
* Enter to confirm · Esc to cancel
*
* Codeman sessions run permission-skipping or classifier-guarded modes, so the
* answer is always yes, and a session parked on this dialog is simply stuck.
*
* **Why the text has to be compacted.** tmux repaints a row by writing each word
* and then a cursor-forward (`\x1b[C`) instead of a space, and Ink colours each
* word separately, so the wire carries `I\x1b[Ctrust\x1b[Cthis\x1b[Cfolder`.
* Stripping the escapes leaves `Itrustthisfolder`: the spaces are not there to
* strip, they were never sent. A plain `includes('trust this folder')` therefore
* never matched a single chunk, which is why the auto-accept had been silently
* dead. Removing ALL whitespace instead is what survives both that repaint style
* and the spaced full-screen redraw.
*
* **Why two markers are required.** Answering means pressing Enter, so a false
* positive types into a live session. One phrase is not enough: an agent's own
* transcript can quote it (this file does). Matching a trust phrase AND the
* dialog's confirm affordance is the cheap way to require the actual widget, and
* the caller adds the real guard by only looking during session startup.
