Brooklyn Nicholson f957fe3760 fix(computer_use): default --no-overlay on macOS for idle CPU
Auto-detect now disables the cursor overlay on darwin as well as
headless/WSL2 Linux. After start_session, also call
set_agent_cursor_enabled(false) when the policy is on so older drivers
without --no-overlay still tear the overlay down.

"""Tests for the cua-driver --no-overlay policy.
cua-driver's cursor overlay rendering loop can consume CPU indefinitely when
idle (#28152, #47032). Hermes passes ``--no-overlay`` to suppress it when the
``computer_use.no_overlay`` config is enabled (or auto-detected on macOS and
headless Linux / WSL2).
These assert the behavior contract (auto-detect, explicit override, version
probe), not specific config snapshots.
