feat(sandbox): Windows ACL write-restriction sandbox (restricted-token runner)

Confine Windows command execution through a WRITE_RESTRICTED token whose restricting SIDs carry an orphan-SID write allowlist, ported from https://github.com/huoyaoyuan/windows-acl-restrict-poc (@ 10e4dfb). Every Win32 call is checked and fails closed - the POC silently ran children with the FULL token when CreateRestrictedToken failed.

- @deepseek-ai/dsh-sandbox-windows-acl: koffi primitives verified against the MinGW Windows headers (verify/abi-probe.cpp) plus the confinement runner ([node, runner, --workspace, --temp, --mode, --, argv...]: kill-on-close job, stdio passthrough, exit-code mirroring, windows-acl-run: failure signature, grant revocation). read-only = strict zero grants (NUL device not writable; documented). Windows-only execution: exempted from the Linux coverage lane (windowsOnlyCoverageExclusions).
- @deepseek-ai/dsh-sandbox-local: PLATFORM_CHAINS.win32 filled with the windows-acl runner (full enforcement, ACL denial dialect, runner-failure rules).
- @deepseek-ai/dsh-pwsh-sandbox: sandbox-consuming pwsh executor (call-for-call mirror of dsh-bash-sandbox) over a new argv-level seam in dsh-pwsh-local; per-file coverage complete via the fake-provider spec.
- bundle/base: the Windows platform layer mounts the confined pwsh roster - sandbox/policy/fs-sandbox/permission/approval re-enabled, the POSIX bash stack stays disabled.

/**
* End-to-end probe of the ACL write-restriction sandbox, using the same
* probes as the POC verification harness: the confined child must be able to
* write into the granted target and temp directories, must be DENIED writing
* anywhere else, and (documented boundary) may still READ outside — the
* WRITE_RESTRICTED token intersects write accesses only.
*
* The escape target sits in its own scratch dir under the system temp
* directory, OUTSIDE both granted trees: tempDir is passed EXPLICITLY (never
* defaulted through GetTempPathW, whose grant would inherit (OI)(CI) over the
* whole real temp tree) and the writable dir is a separate mkdtemp directory
* that contains neither sibling. Nothing under the user profile is touched.
