feat: add auto permission mode to claude-code module (#830)

## Summary
- Add `auto` as a valid `permission_mode` for the claude-code module,
passing `--enable-auto-mode` to the CLI when selected
- Fix bypass permissions TOS prompt appearing interactively by
pre-seeding `bypassPermissionsModeAccepted` in `~/.claude.json` during
install (workaround for
https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/25503)
- Bump version `4.8.2` → `4.9.0`

## Test plan
- [x] All 19 terraform tests pass (`terraform test -verbose`)
- [x] Added `test_claude_code_auto_permission_mode` tftest
- [x] Added `claude-auto-permission-mode` TypeScript test verifying both
`--permission-mode auto` and `--enable-auto-mode` are passed
- [ ] Container test with auto mode (requires Linux/Colima)
- [ ] Verify bypass permissions TOS prompt no longer appears on task
startup
