fix(file-safety): add sandbox-mirror soft guard for writes to per-task .hermes mirrors (#32213)
#32049 reports that under terminal.backend: docker, write_file / patch
calls to authoritative profile state (SOUL.md, memories, etc.) land on
the sandbox-local mirror at
``<HERMES_HOME>/profiles/<name>/sandboxes/<backend>/<task>/home/.hermes/...``
— a path the host Hermes process never reads. The tool reports success,
the user sees no behavior change, and on disk two divergent copies of
SOUL.md (or any other profile file) accumulate.

The existing classify_cross_profile_target guard does not catch this:
its parts[2] check sees "sandboxes" and returns None, and the path is
in-profile from the inner-mirror perspective so even a fixed version
would not fire.

Add a parallel sandbox-mirror classifier in agent/file_safety:

  * classify_sandbox_mirror_target() detects the
    ``…/sandboxes/<backend>/<task>/home/.hermes/…`` shape via path parts.
    Detection is path-shape only — backend-agnostic, does not require
    the file to exist, and works regardless of which HERMES_HOME resolves.
  * get_sandbox_mirror_warning() returns a model-facing warning that
    names the mirror root and the inner authoritative path the agent
    likely meant.

Wire both detectors through tools/file_tools._check_cross_profile_path
so the existing write_file and v4a patch call sites pick up the new
guard with no API change. The bypass kwarg (``cross_profile=True``)
remains shared between the two guards — same "I know what I'm doing"
escape valve after explicit user direction.

This is the defense-in-depth piece of the proposal in #32049 ("any
…/sandboxes/<backend>/…/home/…hermes/… path as sandbox-mirror"). It
catches the host-side speculation case where the agent writes a literal
sandbox-mirror path. The inner-container case (where the bind mount
strips the ``sandboxes/`` prefix from the agent's path view) is out of
scope for this surgical change — that requires either a dispatch-layer
host-side check before the container handoff, or the host-side
``profile_state`` / ``soul`` tool the issue also proposes.

Soft guard, NOT a security boundary — matches the existing
classify_cross_profile_target contract.
