merge origin/main into pr-1824

- wire tools.exec.enable and deny_patterns into the current AgentLoop
- preserve the current WebSearchTool config-based registration path
- treat deny_patterns=[] as an explicit override instead of falling back
  to the default blacklist
- add regression coverage for disabled exec registration and custom deny
  patterns
