Code Review

This pull request updates the default value of security.enablePermanentToolApproval from false to true, modifying documentation, the settings schema, and associated test snapshots. The UI now includes the permanent approval option by default in tool confirmation dialogs. Feedback points to a potential bug in the ToolConfirmationQueue component, where the hidden line count is not consistently updated when content is pushed out of the visible area in the snapshots.

Note: Security Review did not run due to the size of the PR.
