fix(subagent): pin delegated child approvals to 'never' within the inherited sandbox scope

A delegated in-process child now acts only within the sandbox scope fixed
at delegation: captureDelegatedPolicyOverrides still snapshots the parent's
explicit sandbox override but pins the child approval policy to 'never'
(instead of inheriting the parent's), so every child ask — sandbox_permissions
escalations included — is rejected deterministically by ApprovalService
before any answerer, with the audit pair still logged. Every in-process
child additionally receives the scoped subagent:delegation runtime-context
statement telling it to report a scope limitation instead of retrying.

Supersedes the approval half of the policy-inheritance decision (new Agent
Note cross-linked from both prior notes and the approval-seam Q&A); refreshed
child snapshot fixtures carry the pinned event, and
subagent-published-run-failure now persists a one-event child log.

This result boundary is valid because the provider owns an isolated child lifecycle from publication through quiescence. Steering submitted during that lifecycle belongs to the child run; the provider does not pretend the initial follow-up alone owns its output.
The driver applies the seam's [delegated policy inheritance](../subagent/README.md#delegated-policy-inheritance) through the shared child-agent helpers: it captures the parent's explicit sandbox/approval overrides before child creation and appends the source-tagged events during unpublished setup, after any fork history and before session publication. See the [policy-inheritance decision](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-07-25-subagent-policy-inheritance.md).
