Expose permission mode in status line JSON input

Preflight Checklist

• [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

The custom status line JSON input (piped to the statusLine.command script) does not include the current permission mode (the auto-approve state toggled by Shift+Tab: default, auto-accept edits, auto-accept all).

Users who customize their status line lose visibility into which permission mode is active. The built-in status line shows it, but switching to a custom statusLine.command drops this information with no way to restore it.

Proposed Solution

Add a field to the status line JSON, e.g.:

{ "permissions": { "mode": "default" // or "auto-edits", "auto-all", etc.}}

Alternative Solutions

• Reverting to the default status line (loses all other customizations)
• Reading undocumented internal state files (fragile and risky)
