[BUG] --dangerously-skip-permissions should also skip workspace trust dialog (or add --trust flag)
Preflight Checklist

What's Wrong?
When launching Claude Code with --dangerously-skip-permissions and agent teams (--teammate-mode tmux), the workspace trust dialog ("Do you trust the files in this folder?") still appears — once for the main session AND once for each spawned teammate agent.
What Should Happen?
Expected behavior:
If I've already opted into --dangerously-skip-permissions (which explicitly says "bypass all permission checks"), the workspace trust dialog should also be bypassed — or at minimum, trust should propagate from the parent session to spawned teammates.

Steps to Reproduce
Reproduction:
CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 claude \
--teammate-mode tmux \
--model "claude-opus-4-6[1m]" \
--effort max \
--dangerously-skip-permissions
Then use the Agent Company pattern (or any multi-agent workflow). Each teammate agent requires manual approval of the trust dialog before it can begin work.

Additional Information
Suggested fix (any of these):
- Have --dangerously-skip-permissions also skip workspace trust (it already implies full trust)
- Add a --trust CLI flag to skip just the workspace trust dialog
- Auto-propagate workspace trust from parent to teammate/subagent processes
- Add a trustedDirectories array in settings.json for pre-trusting paths
Impact:
Multi-agent workflows (agent teams, Agent Company) are effectively blocked without manual intervention at each agent's trust prompt, defeating the purpose of autonomous agent teams.
