fix: add promptForToolApproval to prevent tool hang in mothership chat

Tools with requiresConfirmation (e.g. user_table) blocked indefinitely
in mothership because the frontend has no approval UI. Added a new
promptForToolApproval orchestrator option so mothership auto-executes
these tools while copilot continues to prompt for user approval.
