Celia Chen e6773f856c Feat: Preserve network access on read-only sandbox policies (#13409)
## Summary

`PermissionProfile.network` could not be preserved when additional or
compiled permissions resolved to
`SandboxPolicy::ReadOnly`, because `ReadOnly` had no network_access
field. This change makes read-only + network
enabled representable directly and threads that through the protocol,
app-server v2 mirror, and permission-
  merging logic.

## What changed

- Added `network_access: bool` to `SandboxPolicy::ReadOnly` in the core
protocol and app-server v2 protocol.
- Kept backward compatibility by defaulting the new field to false, so
legacy read-only payloads still
    deserialize unchanged.
- Updated `has_full_network_access()` and sandbox summaries to respect
read-only network access.
  - Preserved PermissionProfile.network when:
      - compiling skill permission profiles into sandbox policies
      - normalizing additional permissions
      - merging additional permissions into existing sandbox policies
- Updated the approval overlay to show network in the rendered
permission rule when requested.
  - Regenerated app-server schema fixtures for the new v2 wire shape.

//! Bubblewrap-based filesystem sandboxing for Linux.
//!
//! This module mirrors the semantics used by the macOS Seatbelt sandbox:
//! - the filesystem is read-only by default,
//! - explicit writable roots are layered on top, and
//! - sensitive subpaths such as `.git` and `.codex` remain read-only even when
//! their parent root is writable.
//!
//! The overall Linux sandbox is composed of:
//! - seccomp + `PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS` applied in-process, and
//! - bubblewrap used to construct the filesystem view before exec.
