Fail fast stalled Daytona Git network commands

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Daytona sandbox provider executes agent commands inside
ephemeral Daytona workspaces via `executeCommand`
> - Git operations inside these workspaces can block indefinitely when
remotes are unreachable or when git prompts for credentials
interactively (e.g. via askpass or terminal prompts)
> - When git blocks, it consumes the full 900s adapter RPC ceiling,
which surfaces as a hard timeout crash on the Paperclip side rather than
an actionable error
> - This PR adds noninteractive credential defaults and a 120s cap on
detected Git network subcommands so stalled operations fail fast with a
useful message
> - The benefit is that engineers and agents see an actionable error
pointing at missing credentials or unreachable remotes instead of an
opaque 900s RPC crash

**Bug: Daytona sandbox Git network commands stall for up to 900
seconds**

**What happened?**
`executeCommand` hangs for the full 900 s adapter RPC ceiling when a
Daytona workspace git network command (push/fetch/pull/clone) prompts
for credentials interactively or the remote is unreachable. The command
blocks silently for up to 900 s then crashes with a generic timeout
error that names no actionable root cause.

**Steps to reproduce**
Run any agent handoff that includes a `git push`, `git fetch`, or `git
pull` to a remote inside a Daytona workspace where the remote is
unreachable or credentials are missing.

**Expected behavior**
Command fails fast (within ~120 s) with an actionable error naming the
unreachable remote or the missing noninteractive credential.

**Deployment mode**
Daytona sandbox provider (`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona`).
Root cause: Daytona one-shot execution wrappers did not set
`GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0`, `GCM_INTERACTIVE=Never`, or disabled askpass
helpers, so git blocked waiting for interactive terminal input; no
per-operation timeout existed for network-bound git subcommands.

## What Changed

- Added `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0`, `GCM_INTERACTIVE=Never`,
`GIT_ASKPASS=echo`, `SSH_ASKPASS=echo`, `SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE=force` to
all Daytona one-shot execution wrapper invocations so git never blocks
waiting for a credential prompt; callers may override via the `env`
parameter
- Detects Git network subcommands (`push`, `fetch`, `pull`, `ls-remote`,
`clone`, `remote update`, `submodule update`) and caps their timeout at
120 s instead of the full 900 s adapter RPC ceiling
- Returns an actionable timeout message that names the unreachable
remote or the missing noninteractive credential rather than propagating
the raw SDK error
- Adds two new Vitest tests: one verifying noninteractive credential
defaults are injected, one verifying the 120 s network cap and the
improved timeout message

## Verification

- `corepack pnpm exec vitest run
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/plugin.test.ts --config
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/vitest.config.ts` — 40 tests
pass
- `corepack pnpm exec tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit` from
`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona` — clean
- `corepack pnpm check:no-git-push` — clean

> **Known CI note:** The standalone provider package is intentionally
excluded from the root workspace. Direct `corepack pnpm test` from the
provider directory fails before running tests due to Vitest
tsconfig-root resolution in a grafted checkout. The root-config Vitest
invocation above is the passing test signal.

## Risks

- **Low overall risk.** The new `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0` / askpass
defaults only affect Daytona one-shot execution; they do not touch any
shared git config or host environment.
- Callers that previously relied on interactive credential prompts
inside Daytona (an unlikely pattern for agent workspaces) will now fail
fast instead of prompting — this is the intended behavior.
- The 120 s network timeout applies only when the command string starts
with a recognized git network subcommand, so non-network git operations
and all non-git commands are unaffected.
- No PII, telemetry schema, crypto, auth flow, or new external endpoint
changes.

## Model Used

Claude Sonnet 4.6 (`claude-sonnet-4-6`) — extended thinking mode, tool
use, code execution. Anthropic Claude running via Paperclip Claude Code
adapter.
