Samuel Carson dd8402c8b4 fix(browse): NTFS ACL hardening for Windows state files via icacls
gstack's ~/.gstack/ state directory holds bearer tokens, canary tokens, agent
queue contents (with prompt history), session state, security-decision logs,
and saved cookie bundles — all written with { mode: 0o600 } / 0o700. On Windows,
those mode bits are a silent no-op: Node's fs module doesn't translate POSIX
modes to NTFS ACLs, and inherited ACLs leave every "restricted" file readable
by other principals on the machine (verified via icacls — six ACEs, the
intended user is the LAST of six).

Threat model is non-trivial on:
  - Self-hosted CI runners (different service account on the same Windows box
    can read developer tokens, canary tokens, prompt history)
  - Shared development machines (agencies, studios, lab environments)
  - Multi-tenant servers with shared home directories

Orthogonal to v1.24.0.0's binary-resolution work — complementary at the write
side. v1.24's bin/gstack-paths resolves ~/.gstack/ correctly across plugin /
global / local installs; this PR ensures files written into those resolved
paths actually get the POSIX 0o600 semantic translated to NTFS.

The fix:
  - New browse/src/file-permissions.ts (158 LOC, 5 public + 1 test-reset).
    restrictFilePermissions / restrictDirectoryPermissions wrap chmod (POSIX)
    or icacls /inheritance:r /grant:r <user>:(F) (Windows). writeSecureFile /
    appendSecureFile / mkdirSecure are drop-in wrappers for the common patterns.
  - 19 call sites converted across 9 source files: browser-manager.ts,
    browser-skill-write.ts, cli.ts, config.ts, meta-commands.ts,
    security-classifier.ts, security.ts (4 sites), server.ts (5 sites),
    terminal-agent.ts (8 sites), tunnel-denial-log.ts.
  - (OI)(CI) inheritance flags on directories mean files created via fs.write*
    *inside* an mkdirSecure-created dir inherit the owner-only ACL automatically
    — important for tunnel-denial-log.ts where appends use async fsp.appendFile.

Error handling: icacls failures (nonexistent path, missing icacls.exe, hardened
environments) log a one-shot warning to stderr and proceed. Once-per-process
gating prevents log spam if the condition persists. Filesystem stays
functional; the file just ends up with inherited ACLs.

Test plan:
  - bun test browse/test/file-permissions.test.ts — 13 pass, 0 fail (POSIX
    mode-bit assertions, Windows no-throw, mkdir idempotence, recursive
    creation, Buffer payloads, append-creates-then-reapplies-once semantics)
  - bun test browse/test/security.test.ts — 38 pass, 0 fail (existing security
    test suite plus the bash-binary resolution tests added in fix #1119; the
    converted writeFileSync/appendFileSync/mkdirSync sites in security.ts
    integrate cleanly)
  - Empirical icacls before/after on a real file — 6 ACEs → 1 ACE
  - bun build typecheck on all modified files — clean (server.ts has a
    pre-existing playwright-core/electron resolution issue unrelated to this PR)

POSIX behavior is bit-identical to old code — fs.chmodSync(path, 0o6XX) on the
helper's POSIX branch matches the inline { mode: 0o6XX } it replaces. Linux
and macOS see no behavior change.

Inviting pushback on three judgment calls (in PR description):
  1. icacls vs npm library
  2. ACL scope — just user, or user + SYSTEM?
  3. Graceful degradation — once-per-process warn, not silent, not hard-fail.
