[FEATURE] In add-ins (e.g. VSCode) set up a timeout for approval requests to run commands. If there is no answer within a certain amount of time, auto-deny so the agent can find an alternate, already approved approach

Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
The agents keep trying command syntax that requires approval, no matter what my allow/deny config says. But if I deny and say "try a command that is already approved" it quickly tries an alternate solution, which is what I want. I just don't want to have to be there babysitting.
Proposed Solution
Add a configuration to timeout each request, and auto-deny if the request is not approved in a certain amount of time (configurable).
