Added proceed-in-sandbox auto-approvals, automated plugin skill discovery, and clipboard image reading.

Added proceed-in-sandbox tool permission mode. Auto-approves terminal commands that run inside the secure sandbox, requesting manual approval only when a command attempts to bypass the sandbox.
Integrates consumer/free-tier onboarding directly into the CLI.
Added plugin discovery for skills and agents. Automatically scans installed plugin directories to make custom skills and specialized agents available for execution in the CLI.
Moves the terminal color scheme to the top of the selection list, making it the default choice during onboarding and in /settings.
Improved /usage and /quota commands. Forces a real-time reload of model configuration and remaining quotas, allowing you to see updated real-time consumption statistics immediately.
Improved step rendering layout. Calculates available terminal width dynamically and uses middle-truncation (/foo/.../bar) for file path tools to prevent layout shifting on narrow screens.
Improved session deletion keybinding in /resume. Changed the shortcut from ctrl+d to ctrl+delete to resolve conflicts with the global exit keybinding (ctrl+d ctrl+d) and preserve Emacs-style forward-delete in search input fields.
Restored automatic table wrapping, preventing long cells inside markdown tables from being truncated.
Fixed OAuth token persistence and authentication hangs.
Fixed Windows log redirection and resizing issues. Resolved a critical bug where logs were not redirected correctly on Windows, which previously caused the terminal to swallow window resize events and shut down slowly.
Fixed pasted text line counting. Corrected line counting for user inputs to ensure extremely long inputs are correctly folded into a [Pasted text #X +Y lines] placeholder to keep the viewport clean.
Fixed onboarding stability. Resolved a race condition where a concurrent terminal resize event during onboarding could revert the UI to a blank onboarding screen.
Resolved an issue where deleted files (represented by +++ /dev/null) had their deletion lines incorrectly merged into the previous file's diff.
