Pull request overview
This PR updates the terminal sandbox settings descriptions to surface required tooling so users understand the prerequisites for enabling the sandbox, especially on Linux. The changes are limited to configuration metadata used by the Settings UI.
Changes:
- Updated the Linux terminal sandbox file system setting description to note that
bubblewrap,socat, andripgrepmust be installed. - Updated the macOS terminal sandbox file system setting description to note that
ripgrepmust be installed.

- The macOS sandbox description also has spacing issues: there should be a space after "macOS." and a space before the parenthesis in "patterns (ex: …)". Cleaning this up will make the user-facing text read more naturally and match the Linux description style.

Controls file system access in the terminal sandbox on macOS.Paths also support git-style glob patterns(ex: *.ts, ./src, ./src/**/*.ts, file?.txt). **ripgrep** should be installed for this setting to work.", `\`#${TerminalChatAgentToolsSettingId.TerminalSandboxEnabled}#\``),
