Follow-ups to the recently-landed agent terminal sandboxing work. - Make the persistent "Allow Unsandboxed Terminal Commands" setting (`allow_unsandboxed`) the single off-switch for the agent terminal sandbox: when enabled, the sandboxed terminal tool isn't exposed and the system prompt omits the sandbox section, so the model uses the plain `terminal` tool (and on Windows, WSL sandbox setup is skipped). This removes the dead, unwired `disabled` setting that was meant to do the same thing but had no UI, writer, or docs. Per-command and per-thread `unsandboxed: true` grants are unchanged. - Expand the blocklist of Windows-specific environment variables that aren't forwarded into the WSL sandbox (system locations, `HOME`/profile paths, host/session identity, CPU descriptors, etc.) so they can't shadow or break Linux commands. It stays a blocklist, so portable variables like `LANG` still reach the command. Release Notes: - N/A
