Alex Knight 4aa08e9d79 fix(security): stop implicit tool grants from config sections (#47487) (#75055)
* fix(security): stop implicit tool grants from config sections (#47487)

Configured tool sections (tools.exec, tools.fs) no longer implicitly
widen restrictive profiles (messaging, minimal). Previously, having a
tools.exec section anywhere in config — even just safety settings like
security: "allowlist" — would automatically add exec and process to the
profile's allowed tools, defeating the purpose of the restrictive
profile.

The same pattern existed in tool-fs-policy.ts where tools.fs presence
would add read/write/edit to the profile allowlist for root expansion.

Changes:
- pi-tools.policy.ts: Stop merging implicit grants into profileAlsoAllow.
  Renamed resolveImplicitProfileAlsoAllow → detectImplicitProfileGrants
  and use it only for a startup warning that tells users to add explicit
  alsoAllow entries.
- tool-fs-policy.ts: Remove the implicit read/write/edit grant from
  resolveEffectiveToolFsRootExpansionAllowed when tools.fs is present.
  Root expansion now requires actual read access via profile or alsoAllow.
- Updated 4 existing tests and added 3 new regression tests.

Migration: users who relied on tools.exec or tools.fs implicitly granting
access under a restrictive profile should add explicit alsoAllow entries:

  tools:
    profile: "messaging"
    alsoAllow: ["exec", "process"]  # was implicit, now required
    exec: { security: "allowlist" }

Fixes #47487
