fix: sandbox insight agents, add Copilot support (#175) (#176)

## Summary

- Sandbox all insight agent CLIs (Claude, Codex, Copilot, Gemini) by
  setting `cmd.Dir` to a temp directory, filtering env vars through an
  allowlist, and disabling tool access
- Fix Codex failing outside git repos with `--skip-git-repo-check`
- Add Copilot CLI as a new insights agent
- Reframe custom prompt section from "Additional Context" to "User
Query"
  with directive framing
- Preserve provider auth env vars (API keys, tokens) in the allowlist so
  env-based authentication still works

## Test plan

- [x] All insight unit tests pass (`go test ./internal/insight/`)
- [x] Server tests pass (`go test ./internal/server/`)
- [x] Verified `claude`, `codex`, `copilot`, and `gemini` CLIs all
  accept the new flags against real binaries
- [x] Auth env vars (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, etc.) preserved
  through cleanEnv
- [ ] Manual: generate an insight with each agent in the UI

Closes #175
