feat(pi): add Pi (pi.dev) as a sixth CLI run mode (#206)

SessionMode gains 'pi', a first-class backend alongside Claude Code,
OpenCode, Codex, Gemini and Antigravity: its own PTY, tmux session, rose
tab identity, welcome button, run-mode entry, cron agentType, Docker and
remote-SSH command defaults, and clone-repo Brain option.

Pi is a different shape of CLI from the other four, and three decisions
follow from that:

- It has NO permission prompts and no sandbox, so there is no
  --dangerously-skip-permissions analog and none was invented. The
  privilege-shaped knob is the tri-state approveProjectTrust, which makes
  pi load and EXECUTE repo-local .pi/extensions TypeScript and install
  missing project packages. clampExternalCliBypassForOwner() therefore
  puts pi in the MATERIALIZE branch: a non-granted multi-user owner gets
  --no-approve even when no config was sent, because pi's own default is
  a prompt the session user could answer themselves. That helper had zero
  test coverage; it now has coverage for all four CLIs.
- Only the PI_ prefix joins the env allowlist. Pi's ~34 provider key vars
  share no prefix and ALLOWED_ENV_PREFIXES is one global list with no mode
  context, so admitting them would widen the allowlist for every mode at
  once. Auth goes through pi's /login or the server's own environment.
  --api-key is deliberately never wired: it would put a provider secret on
  the spawn command line.
- pi stays OUT of isAltScreenStripMode(). Its default TUI renders into the
  main screen with terminal-owned scrollback, and its 0.84.0 fullscreen
  mode is runtime-switchable via /settings; that flip was measured to put
  the pane into the alt screen, which the strip would have corrupted.

pi-cli-resolver.ts additionally sanity-probes `pi --version` and requires
semver-shaped output, because `pi` is a short generic name a stray binary
can shadow; GET /api/pi/status surfaces path and version so a
misresolution is diagnosable rather than presenting as a broken mode.

Docker installs pi in its own --ignore-scripts step so that flag cannot
affect the other four CLIs, and seeds its credentials per-file rather than
whole-dir (~/.pi/agent also holds sessions, extensions and package trees).

Verified end to end against pi 0.84.1 on an isolated instance: resolver
search-dir fallback, flag construction, piConfig persistence across a full
server restart, the trust prompt and its --no-approve suppression, the
rose Run button on the default daylight-blue skin (the nested skin block
eats per-mode gradients unless the rule lives inside it), and the buffer
local-echo policy, which pi tolerates where codex did not.

**Codeman** is a self-hosted mission control for AI coding agents. It spawns Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Antigravity, or Gemini CLI inside persistent tmux sessions, streams the real terminal to any browser, and keeps agents productive after you walk away: it re-prompts on idle, resumes when a usage limit resets, runs scheduled jobs, and shows every background agent working in real time.
