Also add the matching permissionMode field to the TUI-side DeerConfig type (src/types.ts), which task 1 only added to packages/deerbox's config type — needed for options.config.defaults.permissionMode to typecheck in src/agent.ts.

Summary
deer previously hardcoded
claude --dangerously-skip-permissionsfor every sandboxed agent. Claude Code has since added--permission-mode auto— a classifier-based mode (allow / soft-deny / hard-deny) that is safer than blanket-bypassing all permission checks while remaining suitable for unattended sandbox runs.This PR makes auto mode the default and lets users opt back into bypass via config.
Changes
defaults.permission_mode—"auto"(default) or"bypassPermissions", configurable in global~/.config/deer/config.tomland repo-localdeer.toml(repo-local wins). Values mirror Claude Code's own--permission-modevocabulary. Invalid values are rejected on both the global and repo-local paths, falling back to the merged/default value.session.ts) — new exportedpermissionModeArgs(config)helper drives all threeclaudeCmdbranches (continue / prompt / no-prompt):--permission-mode autoby default,--dangerously-skip-permissionswhen configured.agent.ts) — the tmux bypass-dialog dismissal now runs only inbypassPermissionsmode; auto mode has no startup dialog.deer.toml.exampleandCLAUDE.md.No new CLI argument or JSON-contract field — the value rides the existing merged-config flow. No per-task override (config-file only, by design).
Testing
