Add DaemonClient permission methods and Codex E2E permission tests

- Add `extra` field to CreateAgentOptions for provider-specific config
- Add Codex permission tests (approve/deny) - both passing
- Add Claude permission tests (skipped - SDK doesn't request permissions
  in daemon context despite correct config)
- Full permission cycle verified: permission_requested → respondToPermission
  → permission_resolved → tool executed/denied

+- [ ] **Review**: Audit DaemonClient type reusability.
+
+  **Problem**: The DaemonClient may be duplicating types that already exist in the server. Types should be reused, not duplicated.
+
+  **Audit**:
+  1. Check `daemon-client.ts` for any new type definitions
+  2. Compare against existing types in:
+     - `messages.ts` (SessionInboundMessage, SessionOutboundMessage, etc.)
+     - `agent-sdk-types.ts` (AgentSnapshotPayload, AgentStreamEvent, etc.)
+     - `agent-manager.ts` or other server files
+  3. If types are duplicated:
+     - Export the canonical types from server
+     - Import them in daemon-client.ts
+     - Remove duplicates
+
+  **Goal**: DaemonClient imports all types from server - zero local type definitions except for client-specific interfaces like `DaemonClientConfig`.
+
+  **Acceptance criteria**:
+  - No duplicate type definitions in daemon-client.ts
+  - All message types imported from messages.ts
+  - All agent types imported from agent-sdk-types.ts

+- [ ] **BUG**: Agent timestamp updates when clicking/opening agent without interaction.
+
+  **Symptom**: In the app:
+  - Click on an agent to open it
+  - Do NOTHING (no message sent)
+  - Agent moves to top of list
+  - Timestamp is updated
+
+  **Expected**: Opening an agent should NOT update its timestamp or position. Only actual interactions (sending messages) should update the timestamp.

+     - Navigate to localhost:8081
+     - Note order of agents in sidebar
+     - Click on an agent that's NOT at the top
+     - Verify: did it move to top? Did timestamp change?
+  2. Find where timestamp is updated on the server:
+     - Search for `updatedAt` or `lastInteractionAt` in agent code
+     - Find what triggers the update
+  3. Fix: only update timestamp on actual interactions (message sent, tool executed, etc.)
+
+  **Test**:
+  - Add test case: open agent, do nothing, verify timestamp unchanged
+  - Add test case: open agent, send message, verify timestamp updated
+
+  **Acceptance criteria**:
+  - Opening agent without interaction does NOT update timestamp
+  - Sending message DOES update timestamp
+  - Agent list order reflects actual last interaction time
