What does this PR do?

The Settings toggle for auto-accept permissions was only session-scoped and did not persist across app restarts or new sessions. The underlying state store uses Persist.serverGlobal() which is server-scoped and lost on restart. Meanwhile, the global settings store (settings.tsx) already had a permissions.autoApprove field that was completely unused.

Changes:

1. general-controllers.ts (V2 Settings) — Toggle reads/writes settings.permissions.autoApprove (global, persistent). Falls back to global preference when settings is opened outside a session context. Toggle is always enabled.

2. settings-general.tsx (V1 Settings) — Same: writes to settings.permissions.autoApprove alongside session-level toggle. Falls back to global preference when no directory context.

3. permission.tsx — New enableAutoApproveDirectory() function, modeled after enableConfiguredDirectory(). Auto-enables directory-level auto-accept for new directories when global preference is ON. Only sets if autoAccept[key] === undefined (never overrides explicit user settings).

Session-level override via Cmd+Shift+A still takes precedence — session-level keys are checked before directory-level in autoRespondsPermission().

How did you verify your code works?

• Reviewed the resolution logic in permission-auto-respond.ts and permission-auto-respond.test.ts — existing 9 tests pass unchanged
• Traced the full flow: settings toggle → global persistence → directory-level auto-accept → session-level override precedence
• The enableAutoApproveDirectory() guard (autoAccept[key] !== undefined) ensures explicit user settings are never overwritten

N/A — this is a state management fix, no visual UI changes.
