[BUG] sandbox: allowAllUnixSockets does not cover network-bind — tsx and other IPC servers fail with EPERM

What's Wrong?
npx tsx script.ts inside sandbox fails with Error: listen EPERM: operation not permitted /tmp/tsx-<UID>/<PID>.pipe
this is a problem with allowing named pipes from within the sandbox, nothing but unsandboxing tsx works.
What Should Happen?
Root cause: The generated Seatbelt profile includes socket(AF_UNIX) + connect permissions when allowAllUnixSockets: true, but not network-bind (local unix-socket), which is required for any process that acts as an IPC server (not just a client)
Fix: Add (allow network-bind (local unix-socket)) and (allow network-inbound (local unix-socket)) to the generated profile when allowAllUnixSockets: true
Reference: Codex hit the same issue and fixed it in openai/codex#12702
