Subject: [PATCH] feat: permission mode switching in TUI
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Shift+Tab cycles permission modes: bypass → default → plan →
  accept_edits → auto → bypass
- /permission <mode> slash command to set specific mode
- Current mode shown in status bar (🛡 bypass)
- Permission checker wired into TUI config
