P2 Badge Use terminal lifecycle for /sbx/new sandboxes

When a user opens /sbx/new and then leaves the redirected terminal idle until its timeout, this sandbox is still created with the SDK's default timeout lifecycle, which kills it instead of pausing it. The terminal-specific creator in src/features/dashboard/terminal/sandbox-session.ts sets lifecycle: { onTimeout: 'pause', autoResume: true }, and SandboxTerminalView has a resume flow for paused sandboxes; without the same lifecycle here, these new terminal sandboxes cannot be resumed after timing out.
