feat: ultraclaw droid batch — ROADMAP #41 test isolation + #50 PowerShell permissions

Merged late-arriving droid output from 10 parallel ultraclaw sessions.

ROADMAP #41 — Test isolation for plugin regression checks:
- Add test_isolation.rs module with env_lock() for test environment isolation
- Redirect HOME/XDG_CONFIG_HOME/XDG_DATA_HOME to unique temp dirs per test
- Prevent host ~/.claude/plugins/ from bleeding into test runs
- Auto-cleanup temp directories on drop via RAII pattern
- Tests: 39 plugin tests passing

ROADMAP #50 — PowerShell workspace-aware permissions:
- Add is_safe_powershell_command() for command-level permission analysis
- Add is_path_within_workspace() for workspace boundary validation
- Classify read-only vs write-requiring bash commands (60+ commands)
- Dynamic permission requirements based on command type and target path
- Tests: permission enforcer and workspace boundary tests passing

Additional improvements:
- runtime/src/permission_enforcer.rs: Dynamic permission enforcement layer
  - check_with_required_mode() for dynamically-determined permissions
  - 60+ read-only command patterns (cat, find, grep, cargo, git, jq, yq, etc.)
  - Workspace-path detection for safe commands
- compat-harness/src/lib.rs: Compat harness updates for permission testing
- rusty-claude-cli/src/main.rs: CLI integration for permission modes
- plugins/src/lib.rs: Updated imports for test isolation module

Total: +410 lines across 5 files
Workspace tests: 448+ passed
Droid source: ultraclaw-04-test-isolation, ultraclaw-08-powershell-permissions

Ultraclaw total: 4 ROADMAP items committed (38, 40, 41, 50)
