Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix: managed agents sandbox security (fixes #1426)

Add ManagedSandboxRequired exception for package installation safety
Modify LocalManagedAgent to use compute providers for secure execution
Implement compute-based tool execution routing for shell commands
Add host_packages_ok safety opt-out flag for developer workflows
Remove unused sandbox_type config field
Add comprehensive tests for security functionality

Security improvements:
- Packages install in sandbox when compute provider attached
- Raise exception when packages specified without compute/opt-out
- Route execute_command, read_file, write_file, list_files through compute
- Maintain backward compatibility with explicit opt-out flag
