test: extract classifyVisible() + permission-dialog filter in PTY runner

Pure classifier extracted from runPlanSkillObservation's polling loop so
unit tests can exercise the actual branch order with synthetic input
strings. Runner gains:

- env? passthrough on runPlanSkillObservation (forwarded to launchClaudePty).
  gstack-config does not yet honor env overrides; plumbing is in place for a
  future change to make tests hermetic.
- TAIL_SCAN_BYTES = 1500 exported constant. Replaces a duplicated magic
  number in test/skill-e2e-plan-ceo-mode-routing.test.ts so tuning stays
  in sync.
- isPermissionDialogVisible: the bare phrase "Do you want to proceed?" now
  requires a file-edit context co-trigger. Other clauses unchanged. Skill
  questions that contain the bare phrase are no longer mis-classified.
- classifyVisible(visible): pure function. Branch order silent_write →
  plan_ready → asked → null. Permission dialogs filtered out of the
  'asked' classification so a permission prompt cannot pose as a Step 0
  skill question.

Adds 24 unit tests covering all classifier branches, edge cases, and the
co-trigger contract.

/**
* Deterministic unit tests for claude-pty-runner.ts behavior changes.
*
* Free-tier (no EVALS=1 needed). Runs in <1s on every `bun test`. Catches
* harness plumbing bugs before stochastic PTY runs surface them.
*
* Two surface areas tested:
*
* 1. Permission-dialog short-circuit in 'asked' classification: a TTY frame
* that matches BOTH isPermissionDialogVisible AND isNumberedOptionListVisible
* must NOT be classified as a skill question — permission dialogs render
* as numbered lists too, but they're not what we're guarding.
*
* 2. Env passthrough surface: runPlanSkillObservation accepts an `env`
* option and threads it to launchClaudePty. We can't fully exercise the
* spawn pipeline without paying for a PTY session, but we CAN verify the
* option exists in the type signature and that calling without env still
* works (no regression).
*
* The PTY test (skill-e2e-plan-ceo-plan-mode.test.ts) is the integration
* check; this file is the cheap deterministic guard for the harness primitives
* those tests stand on.
