fix: Allow agent terminal treq CLI to create external workspaces - #222
Merged
Conversation
The agent system prompt previously forbade all writes outside the working directory, which blocked legitimate `treq` commands that create workspaces under `.treq/workspaces/`. Clarify that CLI workspace management is allowed while direct file edits stay scoped to the current directory. Co-authored-by: Ziinc <Ziinc@users.noreply.github.com>

Docs now match the prompt: workspace isolation for direct edits, with an explicit exception for treq CLI workspace creation under .treq/workspaces/.

Claude/Codex still get escaped \n via treqSystemPromptForShell so shell-quoted single-line args match prior behavior.
- Cursor gets real newlines in the prompt prepend path (it has no system-prompt flag)
- No change to agent selection / permission-mode wiring; only the injected prompt text moved

Extracted from AgentTerminalPanel.tsx so the prompt text is unit-testable and shared across agents.
- The new sentence is the product change:
treq addwrites under.treq/workspaces/, outside the agent CWD, and agents were refusing those commands under the old blanket rule - Direct file-edit scoping stays; only the CLI exception is new
