fix(security): remove unauthenticated file-based permission polling

Remove the legacy file-based permission polling from useSwarmPermissionPoller
that read from ~/.claude/teams/{name}/permissions/resolved/ — an unauthenticated
directory where any local process could forge approval files to auto-approve
tool uses for swarm teammates.

The file polling was dead code:
- The useSwarmPermissionPoller() hook was never mounted by any component
- resolvePermission() (the file writer) was never imported outside its module
- Permission responses are delivered exclusively via the mailbox system:
  Leader: sendPermissionResponseViaMailbox() → writeToMailbox()
  Worker: useInboxPoller → processMailboxPermissionResponse()

Changes:
- Remove file polling loop, processResponse(), and React hook imports from
  useSwarmPermissionPoller.ts (now a pure callback registry module)
- Mark 7 file-based functions as @deprecated in permissionSync.ts
- Add 4 regression tests verifying the removal

No exported functions removed — only deprecated. All 5 consumer modules
verified: they import only mailbox-based functions that remain unchanged.

+ * Think-tag sanitizer for reasoning content leaks.
+ *
+ * Some OpenAI-compatible reasoning models (MiniMax M2.7, GLM-4.5/5, DeepSeek, Kimi K2,
+ * self-hosted vLLM builds) emit chain-of-thought inline inside the `content` field using
+ * XML-like tags instead of the separate `reasoning_content` channel. Example:
+ *
+ *   <think>the user wants foo, let me check bar</think>Here is the answer: ...
+ *
+ * This module strips those blocks structurally (tag-based), independent of English
+ * phrasings. Three layers:
+ *
+ *   1. `createThinkTagFilter()` — streaming state machine. Feeds deltas, emits only
+ *      the visible (non-reasoning) portion, and buffers partial tags across chunk
+ *      boundaries so `</th` + `ink>` still parses correctly.
+ *
+ *   2. `stripThinkTags()` — whole-text cleanup. Removes closed pairs, unterminated
+ *      opens at block boundaries, and orphan open/close tags. Used for non-streaming
+ *      responses and as a safety net after stream close.
+ *
+ *   3. Flush discards buffered partial tags at stream end (false-negative bias —
+ *      prefer losing a partial reasoning fragment over leaking it).
