Cameron Beeley 9aea104cc8 fix(cron): stop stamping an unenforceable default toolsAllow cap on CLI runs
#91499 auto-stamps the creator's tool surface as a default toolsAllow cap
on agentTurn cron payloads whenever the creating session is tool-restricted
(a narrowing allow-policy or an explicit deny). CLI backends cannot enforce
a runtime toolsAllow — cli-runner/prepare.ts rejects any defined allow-list
— so every scheduled agentTurn that resolves to a CLI backend (e.g.
claude-cli) fails to start. This silently broke per-thread scheduled
continuations on CLI backends.

A CLI backend is not a runtime tool-policy boundary: it runs with its own
configured tool set, as the operator, on the local machine, and refuses a
runtime allow-list outright. An inherited default cap is therefore
unenforceable on a CLI backend. Decide at run time, where the backend is
known:

- Flag the default. capCronAgentTurnToolsAllow stamps toolsAllowIsDefault
  when it fills in the creator surface because the cron requested nothing
  (or a bare "*"). An explicit narrowing or empty allow-list is a real
  per-cron restriction and carries no flag.
- Drop only the default, only on CLI. The run-executor drops a flagged
  default in the CLI branch and lets the run proceed. An explicit per-cron
  restriction (no flag) is deliberately passed through, so prepare.ts still
  fails it closed and surfaces that the requested policy needs an embedded
  runtime. Embedded runs are untouched and keep the full cap enforced.
- Persist the flag. New nullable cron_jobs.payload_tools_allow_is_default
  column (additive ensureColumn migration + codec read/write) so the
  decision survives a gateway restart, plus toolsAllowIsDefault on the
  gateway-protocol agentTurn payload schema — the stamped payload is
  otherwise rejected by the contract's additionalProperties:false.
- Preserve the flag across updates. A no-toolsAllow update (reschedule,
  prompt edit) no longer carries the stored default forward as a literal
  value — that routed it through the explicit-narrowing branch, stripped the
  flag, and re-broke the job on CLI after the next restart. The default is
  re-derived (flag intact); an explicit restriction is still carried forward
  unflagged.

Net policy: on CLI only the unenforceable inherited default is relaxed;
explicit per-cron restrictions still fail closed; embedded backends are
unchanged.

Tests: run-executor drops the flagged default but propagates an explicit
restriction on CLI; cron-tool stamps/clears the flag across create and
update and preserves it across a no-toolsAllow update; store round-trips the
flag (and its absence) through SQLite.

Not covered: agentTurn crons created during the regression window carry a
flagless toolsAllow and remain fail-closed on CLI until recreated or updated
with an explicit toolsAllow.
