…fs: beans-huwr) - Add --allowedTools for Edit/Write on CLAUDE.md and .claude/** paths - These files are classified as "sensitive" by Claude Code and blocked even with --dangerously-skip-permissions - Update TestBuildClaudeArgs_ActMode to verify the new allowedTools

…(Refs: beans-huwr) (#166) ## Summary - Agent sessions in act mode were still getting permission prompts when editing `.claude/rules/*` and `CLAUDE.md` files, despite the fix in #164 - **Root cause:** `--allowedTools` patterns used relative globs (e.g. `Edit(.claude/**)`) but Claude Code's Edit/Write tools operate on absolute file paths, so the patterns never matched - Fix: construct patterns using `session.WorkDir` (e.g. `Edit(/path/to/workdir/.claude/**)`) and pass each with its own `--allowedTools` flag ## Test plan - [ ] `mise build` and spawn an agent in act mode via Beans UI - [ ] Have it edit a `.claude/rules/*.md` file — should succeed without permission prompts - [ ] Verify `mise test` passes
