hellno d7348bf24b fix(interrupt): run user-approved commands from a clean interrupt slate
A user-approved terminal/execute_code command could be SIGINT-killed
(exit 130 + "[Command interrupted]") by a stale interrupt bit that landed
on the execution thread during the blocking approval-wait, while the
result still carried the "...approved by the user." note. The terminal
tool runs sequentially inline on the execution thread, and nothing
cleared or re-checked the bit between approval-grant and env.execute.

Clear the current thread's interrupt bit once before an approved command
spawns its child (terminal foreground; execute_code local + remote), and
enrich the note to "...approved by the user, then interrupted." on a
genuine post-start interrupt instead of implying success. A genuine
interrupt arriving after execution starts (or during a retry backoff)
still SIGINTs the command; non-approved commands keep current behavior.

Adds regression tests covering stale-bit-clears, genuine-interrupt-still-
kills, the retry-backoff window, natural-exit-130 (not mislabeled), and
execute_code local + remote.

"""Regression tests: a user-approved command runs from a clean interrupt slate.
Bug (manual approvals, the default): a user approves a scanner-flagged command,
then hits Stop / sends a message. `agent.interrupt()` sets the per-thread
interrupt bit on the execution thread *during* the blocking approval-wait; the
deny that follows is a no-op once the approval was granted, so the bit persists.
Nothing cleared it between approval-grant and `env.execute`, so
`_wait_for_process` SIGINT-killed the just-approved command on its first poll and
returned exit 130 + "[Command interrupted]" while still carrying the
"...approved by the user." note (the 3-part signature).
Fix: clear the current thread's interrupt bit once before the approved command
spawns its child (terminal foreground; execute_code local + remote), and enrich
the note on a genuine post-start interrupt instead of implying success.
Invariant preserved: a genuine interrupt arriving AFTER execution starts (or
during a retry backoff) must still SIGINT the command (exit 130); non-approved
commands keep current interrupt behavior.
