chore: replace cat >> with tee -a across all agent docs + settings

21 occurrences of cat >> in 6 docs replaced with tee -a equivalent.
settings.json gets tee -a permission entries (cat >> kept for
backward compat during transition).

The harness sandbox gates >> redirects independently of the cat
command allow rule. tee -a works through the sandbox reliably.
Combined with the tee -a P0 rule added to CLAUDE.md + BOOT.md in
PR #266, this completes the migration.
